I love it!

I wish I was handy enough to make my own playstand.

most of it is unfinished pine. didnt want to use any chemicals. i think the material was less than $60.00 at home depot. not sure if you have home depot there but im sure you have something.

im guessing home dept is the same as bunnings here, just a huge warehouse that stocks everything under the sun :) everything from building supplies to bathrooms, kitchens and gardens

Wow that looks amazing :) I would never spend so much on a play set I would rather make my own too.

I was just wondering though: I always thought that having a cage with an open top would be really good, is it worth the extra $10-$20?
