How to Draw a Jungle Gym
Jungle gyms come in all shapes and sizes. If you've been considering building one, but can't exactly find the plans you want, take matters into your own hands and draw the plan out. When you draw your jungle gym, full customization is right at your fingertips.
Supplies
- Drawing pad
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Colored pencils (optional)
- Think about what features you want for your jungle gym. A comprehensive drawing will provide more than just a plan for building your unit. It will also give you a total picture of how all of the features can come together when the jungle gym is constructed. This is especially useful when this is your own design.
- Sketch out the upper portion of the jungle gym first. Add all features, such as a tree house or roof canopy. Don't forget to draw in the access points, including the ladder and any doorways.
- Pencil in your chosen slide design. It can be straight, spiral or a combination. Include any ladders for access to it in your drawing.
- Use your pencil to sketch in any monkey bars or climbing walls. Place them on the opposite side of the slide in a lower traffic area.
- Draw in the swing supports and swing seats. Swings can provide hours of fun, but make sure to position them in an area that won't be impacted by the swings trajectory, such as trees or shrubs.
- Make your drawing as crisp and accruate as possible. Clean then up as you work by erasing any unnecessary lines.
