Childminder's Club: OK so tell me why this won't work?

[Katymac]

I've got a lovely big deck area - it's the same level as the playroom attached through a door

I'm going to buy a party tent to put up on the deck (without sides) so we can use the space indoors & out as one "room" to extend the time we are outside

I will still use suncream and sun hats on the children - but as we are in the shade (apart from the hottest days)I am hoping to be outside for hours at a time

Is there a problem with this?

Or have I covered all the angles?

i think it sounds good. well done katymac

the only problem i can see is your title for this thread was quite negative.

everything will work out just chill a bit have you got any wine handy? and a massage from a sexy bloke (or your dh ) you sound abit frayed. (no offence)

Thanks I appreciate the sentiment - but so far today everyone has pulled holes in it

The main one being when I sit on the deck at the week end I won't get any sun

Suits me I don't like the sun - I get a headache

And it will cool the conservatory down - it's unusable if we go out (& the sun shines) and we get home and it's too hot

The only prob I can see is that as the sun is going to come in sideways apart from at noon or thereabouts

sun would still affect them

otherwise deffo brill idea

sounds like you've thought about it enough and its not like you cant take it down if you really want to .

KMc look in ARGOS just seen advert on TV for 25% off gazebos etc this weekend

so take a look

I have a gazebo that we put up in the summer and leave up outside my back door so that in the summer we can sit outside on our decking and do painting/eat lunch/read etc and the kids are safely in the shade and because it is a dark blue colour it keeps the sun off the kids
beautifully. It's like a room out doors and the kids love it cos it means that we can be outside when theoretically we should be inside cos it's too sunny to be outside. (one side of mine is against the ouside kitchen wall and another is against a 6 foot fence which only leaves 2 sides open and the sun only comes on these sides very late afternoon so its great).

If you have 3 sides open it might be an idea to get a side panel for the side which is most exposed to the sun, apart from that it's a great idea.

Yep - I'm getting the side panels - which can be lef attached and jus rolled up

Thanks Guys - I was starting to think I'd made a mistake

great idea. think i may copy

Off to spend lots of money

Sounds great! :)

i think its a fab idea and might do something similar myself as i will hopefully be reg in new house in height of summer..youve already said youd still be using sun cream and hats, so i dont see a prob

It's not in stock - I'm waiting to find out when it will be available

aw..keep ringing then or can they ring round and get in from other store?

Got it
Gosh it was expensive - but I can leave it out all year round

is it a very posh hardwearing one?, cos i was looking at some in argos last night for about £15?..they even had some about £60 that actually folded into them selves to put away which where fabisrc and very nice?

3 x 6m

Can be left out in all weathers

Hope I've done the right thing

Are you going to show us a photo or link KMc?

How?

A photo or link from the shop where it came from or a digital photo with a camera.

So if you got from ARGOS go to online shop and then link to it

My gazebo is 3m x 3m and has sides/doors/windows

Would be deffo brill to have 3 x 6m like another room for sure

\link{http://www.gazebosgalore.co.uk/marquees.html\Kinda like this} but that is 8m & i've got a 6m one
