I'm building a shed, an arbored stage, and a playground in my backyard this summer. The shed and stage are pretty well worked-out ideas, but I thought Catters might have some suggestions. I'm pretty happy I thought of building the stage--I actually dreamed it, then thought it was a good idea.

And--I'm a little foggy on how I'm going to re-work my kid's wood playground which they're outgrowing. My boy has a social network from aq game he made up called Spacekids. So I'm trying to work out a spaceship sort of thing from the swings, sandbox, and little tree-house unit. any ideas for fun devices, add-ons, or features would be nice.
