The Little Tikes Slide Can Be a Water Park Or Climbing Area Or Even Both
The Little Tikes slide is not just for sliding anymore. Some of the choices include water slides with climbing walls, adventure slides or a regular sliding board. My son really liked going down the slide, but one day he decided the toddler slide was too small for him. We tried to go to the bigger playground but it was crowded with children who were much older, that is when we decided to look for a slide we could put in our yard.
The hardest part of getting a slide for our backyard was choosing which one to get. I never knew that there were so many different slides. You can buy a water slide, with a climbing wall or without one, there are ones that are also bounce house slides and plain regular slides. We decided on a slide that matched our sons' cottage playhouse.
My son now has, the Little Tikes slide seek and explore expedition climber. This slide has multiple levels that all lead to the sliding board. The ladder that goes up to the slide also leads to the different levels, all of my sons' friends can be on the expedition climber at the same time and no one ever feels left out with nothing to do.
You can even get a Little Tikes slide that will fit in your home. One of my sons' friends has this one in a playroom. If it is cold or raining, the boys are thrilled that they still get to have their adventures on a slide indoors.
Most of my little boys' friends have one of the Little Tikes slide sets. All of us Moms take turns having the children over our houses and everyone is always happy when they see a slide in the yard no matter which one it is.
At one house, his friend has an inflatable water Little Tikes slide. It blows up to look like a mountain with climbing walls on two sides and slides on the other sides. At the bottom of the slides, there are splash pools for a soft landing, and at the top there is a dump bucket. When the bucket fills with water, it spills out onto the children. This one is great for a hot summer day.
I want my son to be outside getting exercise, instead of sitting inside in front of the TV. It is nice to not have to worry about the playground being taken over by the older children, now that he has a Little Tikes slide in the yard he is always outside having great adventures.

The Choices Available In Timber Garden Fencing
Gardeners often find themselves at a loss when it comes to replacing their timber garden fencing. This is because the quality of timber garden fencing is so good that gardeners seldom have to replace them. It can be even trickier if the garden came to them with property that already has the timber garden fencing.
There are three main types of timber garden fencing that gardeners can choose from. The choices that the gardener makes are going to come down to what they want and need for their garden. Perhaps they want something more decorative, or perhaps they want privacy or perhaps they want a little of both. The two are not mutually exclusive, and sometimes hiring fencing services can help the gardener get exactly what they want.
One type of garden fencing that is particularly decorative is picket fencing. This type of fence looks great but does not provide much privacy. In any case, the gardener can construct it themselves, or they can have fencing services build and install it for them. Common picket designs are round top, pointed topped, chisel top and square top. If the fence is glossed white to finish this will look wonderful, but the timber may not hold up well under the finish.
Panel fencing is good for privacy, but may not look as nice. For many gardeners this is not really an issue, for their primary concern is privacy over decoration. What is nice about this style is its ability to be constructed on a tight budget. Plus, it is a style that has been in use in Europe for quite some time. While this style is not necessarily the most decorative, that does not mean that it cannot be made to have decorative aspects. When it is built from quality timber and maybe built a bit high, it can take on a nice, decorative look while also providing the desired privacy.
Finally, close board fencing offers both privacy and decorative style both in equal measures. The style of construction is wedge profile boards perpendicularly overlapped all along the extent of the fence. Heights generally range to as high as 3 metres. Because of the overlapping boards and the height of the fence privacy is virtually ensured. The overlapping boards also offer a wonderful aesthetic that is pleasing to the eyes.
In short, choosing the right timber garden fencing is going to come down to what the person wants and needs. While for many all they want is a nice decorative fence, others see that as unnecessary and opt for something strictly utilitarian. Other still will opt for both, as they fancy a nice aesthetic but also value utility at the same time.
