No building permit? No problem!

Playgrounds are huge for parents of young children, and offer a calm moment in the chaos of everyday. As a parent, I have witnessed other parents traveling much farther to take their kids to a single set of swings, or slide. They will pay more, and travel farther for that added amenity. However, playgrounds fall under building code, and require a permit if they are larger than ten square meters (108 sq. ft.). There are many creative ways of repurposing materials to make fun builds. Wood from bush clearing can be used to make a ground-level rope-bridge, and stumps make fun steps for a game of “the floor is lava”. Wood boards can be used to make a climbing wall, just keep it under 1.5 meters to follow safety standards. If there is a risk of falling, using a soft surface like woodchips, or sand may be required. If you decide to use sand, a sandbox is always exciting for younger children, or using some creativity, you can make a “mud kitchen” with a few boards, and some old pots, and utensils. In the summer, making a “bubble station” is a cost-effective way of creating a magical experience. Parents are not crazy about cleaning up the mess, so having a designated area with a bucket of soapy water works wonders. With a rope tied like a lasso, you can make huge bubbles, creating an unforgettable moment. If you already have a garden on your property, you can add some magic, and make it a “fairy garden” with some garden figurines, and elf-houses. These are just some ideas to get your imagination working, there are tons more on Pinterest, or Etsy. With no money, and a little work, you can offer wonderful experiences, and increase your online presence when your customers can’t help but post pictures of your campsite all over their feed. Utilizing professional photography services is an awesome way of highlighting the unique selling points of your campsite, bringing in more customers to your business. If you refer a customer right now, you can get fifty dollars off your service. For professional Photography, and Marketing services, email me at [email protected]
