What do you keep the kids garden toys in? I just want a box with a lid that I can chuck it all in.

Ideas please.

They do boxes in homebase etc. About 40 quid We just fling things in the shed and hope noone treads on the rake!

£90 but it holds loads - bikes & stuff as well.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Its ds birthday in a couple of weeks and I know he'll get outdoor toys so i was wondering where to keep them too. Don't want to spend that much on a box though.

JackieNo · 12/04/2007 12:44

Not sure this would be big enough? Probably not if you want to put bikes etc in.

charliecat · 12/04/2007 12:44

Get hold of some old pallets and a bit of tarpalin...save yourself a mint!!!!! you could always ask on your local frecycyle.

charliecat · 12/04/2007 12:45

freecycle that was

DebitheScot · 12/04/2007 12:51

we could make one out some some bits of plywood. Surely can't be that hard could it?

tigerschick · 12/04/2007 12:55

It says 'advanced' tho!

tigerschick · 12/04/2007 12:56

On second thoughts, maybe not!

bozza · 12/04/2007 12:56

You can buy a playhouse from toys r us for the price of some of these boxes and then stick all the stuff in. We have a storage box and a playhouse, mind you.

charliecat · 12/04/2007 12:57

Do you have a normal shed? you could put an extra roofy bit down the side of it maybe?

DebitheScot · 12/04/2007 12:59

you wouldn't need to make it as fancy as that one.

The playhouse idea is good. I've been looking for an excuse to buy one! Mind you we don't have a very big garden

charliecat · 14/04/2007 10:44

They have one of these boxes in lidls in a couple of weeks for 24.99 lidl think its on the third week of offers

TinyGang · 14/04/2007 11:01
