Lindsay, from Stourbridge, project-managed and constructed of this permanent den. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

My Dad helped me build my 3 boys this den out of pallet wood, timber and blackboard. They absolutely love it and a great use of what was essentially a wasted space.

It was hard work breaking up the pallets, but most of them I was able to source already stripped which saved on time and muscle power.

My names Lindsay and I have 3 boys, 11, 8 and 2 years old. This was a perfect alternative to a playhouse which they could all use and continue to use for many years to come. It’s also the perfect spot at the end of the day and the boys are in bed for me to read and enjoy the last bit of sunshine in the garden.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It’s been hard work working from home and having the boys around. But since this has been built, my youngest is in there all the time playing with his toys.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Just do your best, you may have days where you feel you are failing but all they will remember is the fun you’ve had together.
