Den
The Den is designed as a climbing structure that you can also hide in. You will need medium tyres along with 3” bolts and budget paint. There is no need for cement as you can compact the earth to form the foundation around the tyres. Make sure you have at least 1.5 meters of space around the Den.

Place the final square on the top of the four sides as seen above. Use the remaining bolts to connect the roof to the sides again using 2 bolts per pair of touching tyres. Paint.
