TTMA Outdoor Play Areas

[malvo]

SO would like to create a space in the yard for M and her toys. Anyone have anything on the ground (besides grass)? Like wood chips or an indoor/outdoor carpet? He wants to do some kind of base that doesn't involve much upkeep. Any ideas?

Our neighbors have an outside cat, so sand is out. Boo.

Following because I'd love to do this when we finish the grass in our yard so it's not all dirt.

My friend just used a rubber mulch under her swing set. I'd never heard of it, but it might be better than wood chips/mulch.

malvo I'd suggest mulch/wood chips. It's inexpensive and can easily be added too each year/season to fluff it back up. I think a few inches of that would be easy upkeep and keep M safe if she falls. I would suggest natural wood chips vs the black or red stuff because it'll die things. We discovered this when we have used them in the past! Black feet all summer is no fun!

I think an outdoor carpet would be a breaking ground for mold.

Also, you can less expensively use railroad tie logs as the boarder.

I'll take some pics of our outdoor space in case it helps. We love it!
