Childs play

Posted by Leo Munday on March 12, 2009 at 5:26pm
I have recently designed and constructed a childrens play platform for a client in London. Western red cedar construction, Aluminium tube ladder and storage shed surface of Lazy lawn ' Lazy Olive Supreme'.Guide Budget £3,000-3,500. Cost is likely to come down as this was a prototype run. Design & features are only limited to your immagination

    This is nice work .... very clean ... and I'm glad you went for the cedar - not that vile treated pine. I won't use that for any part the kids might touch from now on. A good alternative is new oak .. not much more expensive than the pine. But Cedar definately if my budget will stretch for it. As for using it for decking .. in this application it should be fine.

    I did of course check all planning restrictions. Thats part of my job.

    Hi Leo
    Not sure if you are aware that a structure like this is likely to require planning permission now. Basically any deck over 300mm above the ground falls under the regulations.

    The text below is taken from the Timber Decking Association website.

    For all but the simplest, low-level garden deck, property owners should satisfy themselves that planning regulations do not apply to their proposed structure.

    In addition to contacting the Local Authority, we strongly recommend that you talk to all your neighbours about your plans. Neighbour objections are the most usual reason for planning refusal or enforcement notices after completion. Local Authorities can insist that structures are dismantled and removed where consent should have been obtained, but was not.

    Hope that helps
