Description

Build a Kids' Play Yard is a complete guide to building a wide range of outdoor play structures, including a central tower to which a swing set and monkey bar can be attached in various configurations or built as stand-alones. In addition, there are various sandboxes, a playhouse, a teeter-totter, a ground-hugging balance beam, and even a kids'-size picnic table. Beginning with chapters on planning, tools, materials, and construction and finishing, the book then presents the projects themselves in lucid presentations that have become Creative Homeowner hallmarks. All projects were designed to conform with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines. For any parent considering play yard equipment, this book is an essential guide. Read more

    • Book on building play houses, etc
Format: Paperback

    • Good in some aspects, but lacking in others.
Format: Paperback
If you are looking for a book which features plans for multiple types of play yards, then this is not the book for you. The book does have some redeming features, however. The first couple of chapters discuss basics such as useful tools, pros and cons of different materials, and standard safety practices. It was these first few chapters which I found very useful as I began to design a play yard for my children. The rest of the book describes how to build the play yard featured on the book's cover. If you're looking for a solid, fun play yard and don't have creative aspirations of your own, then the featured play yard is, indeed, very functioanl and fun. If, however, you're looking for many different styles and ideas to incorporate into your own design, then look elsewhere. Overall, the book was a good starting point to learn more about what goes into a play yard. ... show more

    • Highly recommend!
Format: Paperback
My partner and I are beginning to intermediate woodworker/builders. We found this book very informative. It shows very easy to read illustrations for various projects, from fairly simple balance beams and swing set to more complex tower structures. It also has recommendations and modifications for younger and older kids. What I liked about it, as a beginner, is that each project is simply illustrated and diagrammed with a materials list right down to the nuts and bolts! The author also has information and diagrams on how to use the various power equipment needed to perform the work plus a wealth of safety information. If you like the look of handsome, well constructed, wooden play structures this is the book for you. The only thing it lacks is incorporating recycled materials into the play yard. ... show more

    • Get Ready for a lot of work (It's worth it)
Format: Paperback
With my 10% off at the lumber yard I purchased material to build everything in this book for $1100 and $125 on bolts. Yes it's only one plan but it's as strong as a house. The book includes a nice three level tower, a swing beam that will probably support my truck, a 10' tall doll house, sand box, sea-saw, balance beam, oh and a monkey bar. Following all the advise on sanding, routering the timber, pre-staining will result in a beautiful play ground. Why i did not give it 5 stars. Well you do get a material list and a cut list but with so much wood you do not get a list that would list what pieces to cut from the 12' 2x6 or the 10' 2x6 or the 8' 2x6 and so on. It took me a long time to create a cut chart so as not to run out of wood. Remember, there is a lot of wood. And this did not happen often but some of the measurements are off. By 1/4 inch or so but I have tried in the past but you cannot stretch wood. So that means if it's raining and you would like to pre cut some pieces and stain them you cannot. And one more thing about this book being for a beginner. If you have the ability to dig (12) 3 foot deep and 1 foot wide holes then your no beginner. Being that there was no way to do this and then fill them with cement I rented a post hole digger and settled for 3' x 5" wide holes and filled em with dirt. While I'm at it: the measurements (even if all were correct) are only good if your 4x4 posts are dead-on. The book does show and explain how to do this. In summary if your a proud dad of 2 or more and still in your 30ies this playground will absolutely blow away any packaged system you have seen in the store. ... show more
