Many years ago when the children were still nippers, my husband and I decided it would be a brilliant idea to invest in a swing set. We researched various play systems for them as we wanted to ensure that they got years of use out of the play equipment.
It was a mammoth job trying to ensure we got the right playset that was suitable for both our 7 year old and our 2 year old. A lot of garden play equipment is absolute rubbish and would never have lasted 5 minutes, let alone 5 years.
