Pebble area for kids.

Phil.x · 2017-02-17 08:42:29

I'm thinking of making a play area for my kids which will have a swing slide combo. The grass/muck is always boggy due to it being beside a 7foot wall and gets no sun. So I'm thinking of section off that part of the garden with a small timber boarder and small 6-10mm beach stone's, about two ton bags. Any thoughts.

It works welll.
We used ordinary blue chippings with no blinding in our play area years ago and it's kept well, about 4 inches deep. Safe under swings etc and never seen any injuries.

Ready to play on soon as rain stops.

Ours is laid onto hardcore rather than soil so it's super dry.

Ours is a big area but at €8ton collected in local quarry it was great value.
