DIY Kids Outdoor Playset Projects

c48b4aa9c03c8abf2989f531b73e6f5e

I think I started my love affair with the outdoors, and the garden, when I was a kid playing outdoors until the street lights came on and my bare feet were tired. Kids need to be outdoors from a young age, but they also need to be able to play with the security of a watchful eye, and that usually means at home. If you want the outdoors to compete with the computer, the video games and the cell phones, you might want to consider making at least one of these incredible DIY kids outdoor play-sets. Yes, these are all DIY and have complete tutorials with them, and most are less expensive than buying the boring pre-made versions from Home Depot. So let’s get right to it, because we have a bunch of them for you! swing sets, play houses, sand boxes, and more fun ideas… Your kids and grandkids are gonna LOVE us!

Our featured project, above, is a modern a-frame swing set from HGTV Gardens. They have step by step photos, a complete materials list… This is a simple project with a cool look. SO much better than a rusty old swing set!
