If you're faced with the task of entertaining large groups of children with the perk of using a slight nautical twist, look no further than the Edward Thatch pirate ship playground plan. This design takes the original ship play-set and expands it with two other platforms connected by bridges and ramps.
In addition to the Edward Thatch pirate ship plan, you will receive instructions to add two more, elevated octagonal platforms, along with two ramps and a connecting bridge, allowing more space to add slides, cargo nets, fire poles and other cool accessories.
Features:
- Two story, three sectional play-set with a total of 350ft² in usable space
- Includes instructions to build two rock walls, gang plank, fire poles and ship ladder
- Roof covering for the large octagonal platform
- Trap door from the 1st to 2nd level of the large octagonal platform
- Bucket & pulley post
- 6 total entrances/exits
