This plan draws inspiration from our other barn, tractor and other agricultural playset designs, while still doing it's own thing. Consisting of three interconnected structures (barn, silo and corn crib) and two isolated structures (windmill and tractor), the Rolling Hill Farm Playground encourages kids to run, climb and interact in a whole variety of differing ways with ups, downs, unders and the potential accessories that can be easily installed. Kids will enjoy the little particulars throughout lend to an authentic barnyard aesthetic. There’s even a loft in the silo if roosting is in the cards for that day.
Making sure the kids are having fun isn’t the only benefit. Compared to other commercial playground equipment in similar size and scope, this plan will cost you just a fraction of the price. A 5’ average deck height throughout allows for residential grade swing-set equipment to be utilized, allowing for even greater cost savings.
