When is a custom design needed? A custom design is necessary if you have a steep hill or ravine, retaining walls, lots of trees to fit around, or a challenging space that just calls for something unique! Sometimes it is difficult to envision where a play structure should go. This is when we recommend having Barbara meet with you, look at your yard, and brainstorm ideas. Barbara and you will select the site, decide which play features on your family’s wish list are essential, and discuss the budget. You will also discuss if landscape changes will be involved. Barbara travels all over the world to design her unique play structures and treehouses. Once the design is finalized, we build the structure in our shop in modular pieces for easier shipping and installation. The images on this page depict different examples of custom designed play structures...
Creating flawless finishes for over 30 years,
our oil-based stains are best for outdoor use.
We grind the pigment in top quality tung oil and thin it with top quality solvent to make a stain that absorbs into the wood, as opposed to paint which is a film on top of the wood.
We recommend it for exterior projects mostly because the tung oil odor, while not toxic, can bother people.
Our stains are rated hazardous in liquid form because of the solvent. You wouldn’t want a child to accidentally drink it. As the stains dry, the solvent evaporates. Once dry, the stain is no longer rated as toxic.
