    Default Ooooooh interesting

    at my sons school they are having a company install willow hideouts

    one of them is sponge bobs house it looks amazing (even tho its bare) complete with round windows

    in spring it will go nice and green as the leaves grow

    i want one in my garden as a den for the kids to play in

    do you think Ofsted will allow it???

    I love them and if my garden was suitable would love to have one. Much nicer to look at than plastic houses

    they are quite big (my 12 year old can stand upright in one)
    and only £100 so not bad, and like you say look MUCH better

    they also do wigwam ones

    but what will ofsted think??

    Our school has a willow tunnel - been there a couple of years now and looks great in the summer.

    I'd love one too!
