Children's dream in the yard

A country house with a private courtyard is good. Especially if the design of the courtyard is carefully thought out and arranged taking into account the interests of all family members, including the smallest. Since the remoteness from city life deprives them of the most elementary children's joys, such as skiing on a roller coaster and swing, as well as their favorite fuss in the sandbox, caring parents usually arrange a playground directly in the private courtyard so that the child can enjoy at least from morning to evening of life.

What to place on the playground?

It all depends on the age of your children. If there are preschool children in the family, then organizing a sandbox is simply necessary. And you can buy it in any hypermarket where building materials and toys are sold. If desired, you can do it yourself. Usually the sandbox is either wooden or plastic. The shape can also be either square or round.

It is desirable that it be with a lid, which is usually closed at night or during a period of absence. This is necessary so that stray cats or dogs do not decide to visit this place. Among other things, it is likely that the child will get an infection by contact with contaminated sand.

You just can’t do without a swing, because they represent true childhood pleasure. What can I say, and an adult too. The range of garden swings, suitable for both children and adults, is simply huge today. But if we talk only about children, then for operational safety reasons, it is recommended that you buy plastic swings best. It is possible with rope elements, but not with metal holders. If the swing is designed for babies, in this case they should have seat belts, as well as backrests that provide a stable seat. By the way, the swing can still be free oscillation. They are like ordinary ones, but the seat can swing in different directions. As a rule, such swings are in sets. And yet - it should be remembered that the swing should not have different notches, as well as cracks, where part of the body or clothing of the child may be stuck.

The placement of a children's house is also desirable, because this, in fact, is the dream of every baby. It is here that mothers and daughters play, hide from each other, and also trust the most secret secrets. Houses are sold wooden and plastic. Also on sale are combined with complexes, for example, with slides and horizontal bars.

Equipping a climbing plane with protrusions or slots will allow you to develop agility and dexterity. Trampoline is also a very favorite item for children, and of all ages. So beloved that sometimes they can frolic on it for several hours in a row. An inflatable trampoline is a great option for such cases, especially since for the winter it can be brought into the house and used already indoors.
It’s nice to equip a playground with combined sets for games. Better yet, combine several modifications at once, especially since very often they are interchangeable.

It would be nice to decorate the playing area with some funny figures made of unbreakable material, ideally made of wood, which, in which case, can easily withstand the ball.
Do not forget to place a children's bench, so that the child has a place to take a breath after active games, and even look after the children themselves.

Advantages and location of the playground in the private courtyard

First of all, the main advantage of such a platform is the safety of the child. Games on the territory of your home are less at risk than on the playgrounds of urban busy streets, especially in travel yards near multi-story buildings. However, one cannot relax and lose control in any case, as danger can lie in wait for the baby at any time and in any place. Firstly, it is not advisable to leave the child alone unattended. The swing can take off quite high, and the slides are high, and if there are still ponds or elements of unfinished construction in the yard, then all this poses a great threat to the safety of the baby.

The choice of location should come primarily from safety, and not from aesthetic considerations. It would be most advisable to place a playground in the visibility zone, in a place well visible from all sides, located away from the gate leading to the street, especially if it is a busy highway.

Even the smallest ponds, if any, must be covered by lids that are locked or drained. Also, near the playground, there should not be a fire to prepare dishes on the grill, there should not be garages, garbage cans, water and sewer manholes, drainage wells, electric panels, pits, etc.
It makes sense to fence off the playground with a hedge, but not from prickly plants, such as dogrose, hawthorn and barberry.

Ideally, the playground should be spacious, however, not everyone can afford it because of the small area of ​​the garden. In this case, it is not recommended to pile up the playing area with all kinds of extra landings. A beautiful appearance can be obtained using stand-alone plants, for example, tapeworms, giving them an interesting shape with a haircut.

Safety precautions

The equipment on the territory of the private yard of the playground is quite serious, because it is not just a convenient and beautiful place for entertainment, but also a safe place, especially for too curious and agile children. Acquired equipment must have appropriate certificates, as well as tolerances that allow the use of children.

Among other things, it is extremely important that the complexes for games do not have sharp corners, and all kinds of ropes, nets and ropes do not carry the danger of entanglement in them. The flooring of the site should also be made of soft material, best of all rubberized foam type (artificial turf) in order to avoid possible injuries in the fall. In addition, they can be multi-colored, which allows you to lay out any pattern and assemble a mosaic. This will create an atmosphere of a fairy tale and children will really like it. Or to make an ordinary natural lawn - such an option is quite beautiful in appearance, as well as environmentally friendly and the cheapest. In addition, a spectacular lawn will have to be in place for any estate, because will represent a link between sites of any purpose, whether it be a nursery, or a recreation area with a common landscape. Crushed stone or coarse river sand is often used to cover the floor of the playground (mountain sand is not suitable).

What are the criteria for choosing a playground?

The principles for choosing a site should be based on several important points:

• safety is the most important point, especially the safety of sports equipment, which must meet accepted standards;
• Warranty is also crucial, along with after-sales service;
• quality and durability of the structure;
• design of sports equipment;
• suitable equipment - I mean the equipment that is suitable for you
