Description

Build your own treehouses, swing sets, skate ramps, Ninja courses, and more! Kids and families of all ages are rediscovering the great outdoors, including their own backyards. It is more important than ever to be able to entertain our kids at home, teach them about nature, and give them a great time building, exercising, staying in shape, and working together. All of these actions help foster independence, confidence, and growth. In Do-It-Yourself Backyard Playgrounds, authors Jean and David Stiles offer user-friendly plans (all hand-drawn by David) and step-by-step instructions to help you build something great in your own backyard. They offer a range of easy, timeless projects that can be made in an afternoon—trolley ride, treasure chest, circle swing, lemonade stand—alongside more ambitious projects, like the warped wall and treehouse. Learn how to build a complete Ninja adventure course and see how the treehouse can double as a home base for the adventure course that radiates from it! The book includes photos of projects (during construction and completed), and explanatory step-by-step illustrations. Read more

Good book

Love their books and annotated illustrations
Format: Kindle
Exceptional illustrated and clear instructions easy enough for beginners to understand. Filled with fresh new content not found in their other books that I love and own.

Interesting, but not helpful
Format: Paperback
This is a great book, as long as you know what you're doing. I actually wanted directions for a simple backyard play set, and this gave a number of plans, but many were too complex, or too large, for my purposes. In the end, a friend allowed us to dis-assemble their play set and bring the pieces home for re-assembly, so I never used the book, but I didn't find quite what I wanted in it. Sorry, but it just didn't work for me. ... show more

Backyard Playgrounds... and other things your HOA won't allow. LOL!
Format: Paperback
What a great book of ideas. But yet I cringe after reading so many news stories about what HOA's won't allow homeowners to do on their own property. But thankfully, not everyone belongs to an HOA. So for those who don't, and who have kids, this is a great book of ideas to get your kids doing fun things outside and offline. ... show more
