An ordinary terrace can become a beach-style playground if you install a slide on it and make a sandbox below.

In hot summer, for the little ones, you can install an inflatable pool next to it.

A favorite place for children to play outdoors is the sandpit.

It is not difficult to do it with your own hands, and most often dads make it in the simplest version, having put together from 4 boards.

The children's sandbox should have a canopy (or shade), and - very desirable - a cover.

Here, the hinged protective awning also serves as a cover for the open part of the sandbox - it can be lowered and raised.

This design is interesting in that, in addition to the traditional sand compartment, it also has a water tank, which will undoubtedly appeal to children.

There is also a toy box, and its lid, equipped with handles, in turn, can serve as a bridge or a bench.

A wooden frame covered with awning fabric will protect you from the sun. It can be lowered and raised easily and is secured with a crank handle.

The drawing shows the exact dimensions for the movable bridge and tank cover. The width of the boards to cover is 12 cm.

They are screwed to two carrier bars at 5 mm intervals. Despite the many details, the design is simple.

• In order for the wood to retain its appearance for a long time, the boards must be impregnated with protective agents.
• In order for the canopy to move, and in the fall the sandbox can be disassembled, the screws must be protected from rust.

How to make a playground near the house with your own hands.

Previously, the space under the terrace was not used and was a spontaneous warehouse of all kinds of "useful things". Because there are two exits from the terrace, and the terrace is high enough, it was decided to make a playground. In addition to a slide and a sandbox, under the terrace itself there is a cozy place with a children's house, and on the wall of the house there is an additional drawing board and a shower with a tap for washing hands and feet.

In the future, the space under the terrace will be partitioned into two parts - one for the playground, and the other for storing garden tools. First, taking into account the waterproofing, a wooden frame was made for the site.

Then the soil was removed for the sandbox and the place near the hill. This is the hardest part of the job.

In the area under the sandbox and next to the slide, low tides were made and sand and rubber crumb were filled up for playgrounds.
