  • i reckon "a bit slidey" is good if it's stable enough to hold them when they're on it.

    when they're a bit older, they'll want to move the step around to access stuff themselves, and if it's hard to move, you'll be called in all the time to move it for them.

  • Good point.

    Currently weighing up whether to use the outdoor treated batons I have spare or buy some new ones.

    Cba to buy things when I've already got stuff lying around, but it seems a waste of treated wood. Also although the wood will probably be painted I wonder about any chemicals from the wood when they (or their little brother/sister) inevitably biting the wood.

  • If it's tanalised wood (usually green) that is pressure treated with some pretty deadly chemicals. I think Arsenic is part of the mixture. I only handle it with gloves on. I would definitely look for a child friendly option like pine.
