Play Equipment (Gates/Furniture)

Trampolines, swings and slides are commonplace in gardens, however, they are temporary in the lifetime of a well designed garden i.e consider yourself and the tree you planted at maturity. Sometimes it’s an option to conceal play equipment in not so visible areas whose function may change in time, perhaps to a space for a glass house or potting shed.
