The Lifeguard Tower Playset Plan brings beach side excitement straight to your backyard in a bold and colorful way. Inspired by the iconic west coast tower look this elevated playset stands five feet off the ground and provides around one hundred square feet of play space. Kids can imagine scanning the shoreline from above while stepping onto the tower platform via an easy ramp and looking out from the shaded enclosed cabin. It offers a little taste of seaside vibes even when you are miles from the sand.
Perfect for children who love ocean theme vacations or lifeguard adventures the design accommodates multiple accessories like slides or climbing ropes from the elevated deck.
