This is where I got the idea... and I just made sure the logs were deep enough to not knock over when the kids step on them. The ones on the rt are done a bit better than the ones on the left... in fact Cyan fell into the sand box when we were filling it with sand because I didn't have one dug in deep enough, so I did it again. Some people have said that they wouldn't do this because of the falling... but I figure, after the rest of the sand is in (we need about 4 more bags) and the grass grows back around the logs it will be pretty darned stable. I also am planning on belt sanding the tops of them and then sealing them with linseed oil. It should be able to stand against the ages then. :) I love it. I am a bit worried about cats, so we put the little swimming pool over it for tonight and I will make a PVC and green house plastic cover sometime soon to make it easier for the kids to put on and off than the big swimming pool.
