Here's a compact play structure that won't overwhelm your yard and, by the very nature of its fun and animated finish, won't distract from its appearance either.

The structure's imaginative façade will spark a summer of fun for several kids at once and its sturdy design ensures a solid apparatus that the kids won't soon outgrow.

The structure incorporates two swings, a sandbox and a shaded lookout tower that's just perfect for "secret club meetings." Equally as important, the entire set stands just four feet wide, 12 feet long and eight feet high. That's large enough for the kids but manageable for even the most novice home handyman.

Making the project even easier are our professionally drawn plans that are designed with the amateur in mind. Lots of illustrations, step-by-step instructions, diagrams and more make this a project that's as fun to tackle as it is economical to build.
