Trailblazer Wooden Swingset – Sandbox Alteration

October 13th, 2008

The Selwood Trailblazer Playset has been an amazing hit here in the Uk this year.  Thousands have been sold and there are many more thousands of happy children who have had the pleasure of being able to play on one!

The fun wave slide, rockwall ladder, swings and aero bar provide hours of entertainment, even for the most active children.  The beatufully finished wood and colour co-ordinated UV resitant tarp roof, slide and accessories make the plasyet look great too.  And there’s a range of high quality accessories to compliment the set, including ship’s wheel, binoculars, telescope, periscope, steering wheel, and a selection of baby, infant or toddler seats.

At an unbeatably low price of £339.00 Climbing Frames UK has been proud to satisfy these orders and provide many customers with a set they can be proud of.  With a little TLC including a yearly stain and the obvious bolt tighness checks, these playsets will last for years. 

Climbing Frames Uk have been asked numerous times this year about the possibilty of changing the picnic table of the Selwood Trailblazer playset into a sandbox.  Yes, is the answer, it is possible and no extra wood is needed.

Kindly one of our customers has sent in a couple of pictures of the sandbox they created and the cover they have made to protect the sand from the elements, pets and wild animals.  Below is a description of how they did it:

“Instead of building the picnic table we opted to use the wood from the pic-nic table to make a sandbox underneath. From Phase 11 in the instructions, we attached 4 wood beams “v” to each side of the platform on bottom to make thicker sides to hold more sand (see picture  on right). I used the 2 “w” wood beams on the sides to use as seating (see picture on right). With the remaining 5 pieces of “s” wood beams I made a top to the sandbox to keep my two dogs out when not in use (see picture below). The kids get tons of use from the sandbox!!”

If you have the Trailblazer Playset and have thought about getting a sandbox or if you’re considering purchasing the playset but thought you children might not use the picnic table then i hope that this information is useful to you. 

If you have another of our Selwood Wooden Garden Playsets and have made alterations or would like to give us feedback on your purchase we would be happy to hear from you.  Please send any meggages or pictures to info@climbingframesuk.com
