My boys like most children love using their imagination and playing role playing games. When I was sent a Children's Wigwam from Garden Games, they were desperate to have it put up. With the weather not being great and all the snow we had in Scotland just before Christmas I decided to put it up in the living room. Here's how we got on.
The box itself was quite small considering the size it becomes, which is 1.9m tall and 1.4m in diameter. I emptied the contents of the box and thought, I can do this. I went about building the poles.There are six of these in total, these are what holds it up. The are well made, not rough at all so no splinters or grazes would happen, I was very impressed. They are sturdy and even the connections are well made, these were not giving way.
I placed the poles inside the Wigwam canvas, there are thick elastic hooks to hold the poles in place, with a large amount of material at the bottom to hold them secure. At the top their are wholes in the poles for thick strong string with balls that go through to give the correct distance between the poles. Extra sturdiness.
The canvas itself is so thick, strong and very well made. The closure of the tent is velcro and not that your child opens it and the stitching burst type either, you know what I mean, this is the proper machine and well made. So what do you think? I had it up in under 1/2 and hour and the boys loved it.
It is spacious enough for both boys, mine are almost 5 and almost 3 here. They built jigsaws inside it so there is still plenty of floor space even with both of the boys.
They love the Wigwam and so do I. It is well made, easy to put it, sturdy and easy to take back down again. Only down side is it doesn't come with a canvas bag for storage, but I did get it to fit back into the box. Not that it was in there for long. I cannot wait for the summer and get this outside. Although I have to say it was good fun having it indoors. I cannot recommend this product enough and neither can my two wee guys.
The service and delivery from Garden Games was excellent, why not have a look at their other products on their website.
