Investing in Your Children. Investing in Your Home.

We all know that adding a wired workshop or a new bathroom will increase the value of your home. But sometimes, simply adding a playset can give your home’s value a boost.

One of our customers found this out totally by accident. A couple of years back, their family purchased a Discovery Depot playset. The customized it with a rock wall, slide, fort, walk up ramp, and swings. The kids have been enjoying it ever since.

Recently, the family put their home on the market. When the offer for the home was made, the buyer requested that the playset remain. It turned out to be a part of the negotiating process.

We learned about the story when the same customer called to place his order for a new playset for their new home. They again chose the Discovery Depot, but chose colors to match their home’s exterior.

Backyard play is a great investment in your childrens’ overall well being. It’s great to know that it’s also a great investment in your home.
