Repurposed Swing Set – Activity Climbing Wall

By Jolene - May 24, 2012

I love a good re-purposing post. One of my all time favourites still has to be the repurposed cot by Little Learning for Two.

I am kicking myself just a little bit now that we gave Bubble’s cot away, but I haven’t completely ruled

out buying a second hand one so I can give this project a whirl.

So…anyhoo… when I visited a friend recently and saw what her husband had done with her sons’ old swing set, I didn’t waste any time whipping out my camera to take a few photographs to share with you all.

I bet my friend is glad that she mowed the grass before I arrived now!

Love an action shot!

Using stencils the boys helped Dad to spray paint some animals and insects on the climbing wall, for that added boy-bling!

Ta-da…the outgrown swing set makes a very sturdy support for an activity climbing wall – just the thing for adventurous, active kids!

How cool is that? Have you seen any great ideas for repurposing old indoor or outdoor furniture lately?

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
