Beano Builds: Secret Den

Product Information

When we moved home when my twins were younger one of the top requirements was finding a place to build a new den. My kids were sad about abandoning their previous ‘secret’ den so we needed to start over in the woods near our new home. As I’ve discovered it’s important for kids to play in dens and forts – and written about why– so I was determined to help them in their den-building quest. The wooden frame was screwed into the skirting board at the bottom and our marvellous ex-joiner friend, Richard, managed to secure it to the wall. This frame would support the plywood base you can see in the picture once it was butted up against the wall. We screwed the plywood into the frame from above. This has been the hardest decision of my life and one that saddens me deeply. Unfortunately, Secret does not represent the vision I had when starting the company, so I believe it’s the right decision for myself, our investors and our team.

HEADBOARD: Front panel, 18mm (T) x 1132mm (W) x 602mm (H); Top panel, 18mm (T) x 1132mm (W) x 80mm (D); Side panel, 18mm (T) 80mm (W) x 620mm (H). Other tools & materials.

I admit we were worriedabout letting them out there all alone where strangers had the right to walk or ride right past them. I’m happy that they have now an outdoor special place as often in the past we’ve had to make a temporary fortsindoors with blankets, cushions and chairs. It’s wonderful for their imagination asI’ve overheard them making up taleswith this den as a central player. Make a wooden frame for your single mattress.
