UFO Playground Plan

Ever wanted to actually meet E.T.?  Perhaps the idea of meeting LGMs is your life goal.  Well, we can't help you meet real martians, but we can offer a backyard spaceship playset you can build for you kids.  Straight from a classic 1950s sci-fi movie, this 22x22 flying saucer playground attraction is in two words, totally awesome, and will give casual onlookers a real surprise, and the children who get to play with it the time of their life.

Consisting of three levels, central "tractor beam" access ladder, 360° top deck and a cool "B movie" aesthetic, your children's imagination will have a lot of help in their trip to the planet of little green men.
