Our son just turned 6 and for his birthday we decided it was time to get the kids a trampoline to burn some energy off. While they loved it, they were constantly having problems getting in and out, which means that everyone just piles in and stays in. To fix that we decided to build a set of steps with a platform. That way it was easy to get in and out so it would be easier to obey the rules of one jumper at a time. But we didn’t stop there! In order to entertain the ones waiting to jump we decided to add a slide and a rock climbing wall!
So, at a final price of around $300, this ended up costing about as much as the trampoline itself but is way safer, easier and basically a play structure in itself. Nevertheless it was totally worth it and the kids love it.
