Advantages: sturdy and great fun Disadvantages: the children fight over it
this - with much adult involvement and encouragement, of course.
My only complaint is that my own fat bum could not possibly fit between the rails. Having said that, I have used the slide as a stepladder at times, and it is quite sturdy enough to take my weight. (Believe me, I am a considerable weight!) The latest fun game involving this ever-adaptable piece of equipment is 'King of the Castle', which involves the children taking it in turns to stand on the platform, and then push each other off. Luckily, it is so sturdy and well made that this has not yet caused any serious accidents.
I think it's extremely likely that I'll be able to sell this in a year or two for about a fiver. They are very poplar locally, and get snapped up secondhand whenever they are on sale.
