Do you have a love of woodworking and have a house full of hyperactive children? Why not build them one of the largest and most interactive jungle gyms hosted on Paul's Playhouses? The 16x32, Alpine Backyard Playground Plan is modeled to be the definitive and complete playground swing-set complex a DIY homeowner can construct.
A total of 348 square feet spanning over 3 stories provides ample space for several children to move freely in practically direction, and the 7 exit points with three trap doors allows for a near endless amount of differing interactivity and fun. Plus, with a 12' swing-set attachment and instructions for a rock wall and gang plank, the Alpine Playground Plan will provide countless hours of outdoor play time for even the largest of families.
