I'm after a large slide/swing/adventure house type thing for the kids to put in the garden. I need a good quality one that will last and that I'll feel comfortable in its safety. Garden is over 120ft long and 50ft wide so space is not a big issue

1) Can anybody recommend one?

2) My garden is not dead flat ie it slopes a little left to right and a little front to back. Can i just put one of these contraptions straight onto the grass or do they need some kind of foundation and bolting down?


Thanks

1) PM'd

2) You need a base for the larger ones

Thanks pm responded to

What sort of base?

Trout

Here you go. Good size, expandable and no base needed. We have one with a Fort. Easy to build and solid once put together.

Bloody hell, what kids get these days.

My garden isn't big enough for something like that but they have a wendy house, swing and slide.

I would love to have the room for a fort!

Try these - bought plenty of stuff from them when my kids were little.

If you want solid & long lasting then you need to avoid the cheaper kits from TP, etc.

Instead you want to look at something like this.....

We've got the Garden Play Fort and a separate Triple Swing and both are excellent!

Costco has an amazing one with a tube slide for just under £900. looks a bit bigger than the ones you see in pub gardens.

mamoon2

Indeed, and it is a good one too, would retail for a lot more than £900, trust me

It is a Rainbow Play Systems one, American made and very good quality

Thanks guys.

I had seen the one at Costco too. On the whole they always seem to sell good quality stuff and have an excellent customer care policy.

Mamoom would you know whether the costco one can be added onto in the future, ie is it modular?

Thanks

They used to have a big one with a hump in it in our local Rec. when I was a toddler. I was terrified of it!

I'm not 100% as its American gear, although Rainbow Play Systems are coming into the UK market

Dingdongler

Thanks mate.

Costco no longer keep the RPS one anymore. They now have one called the Cedar summit panorama. Would you have any idea whether it's any good?
Thanks
