About this deal

There are plastic boule sets available (and the bright primary colours can be a bit more kid friendly) but they don’t last very long. The only limitations are: only two kids can play at a time and you need enough space to swing the proverbial cat… or at least a ball on a rope, though many sets come with a tether which you can shorten the rope with, if you’re really tight on space. Alternatives to Swingball Obviously kids should never be left unattended when there’s water around but we’ve thought of that too. If you’re child (or inner child!) is a bit anti-tennis, there are lots of alternatives for active, sporty games. Swingball is a classic garden game. If you grew up in the 70s, 80s or 90s you or your friends almost certainly had a set.

The differences you’re looking at in the sets here are mostly how it’s affixed to the ground: either through a spike into the ground or with a weighted base (filled with something like water or sand). If you dohave a bit more room, nothing screams ‘English Country Garden’ more than a croquet set. This one from Jaques of London, complete with canvas carry bag is glorious. Cream tea anyone? SPIKEBALL Spikeball (or Rashball, BamBall, Spiderball… it’s a bit like Nike vs. Adidas vs. Reebok etc.) has burst on to the garden games scene in the last few years. It’s hugely popular in Germany.

Keeping cool

If you have the lawn and the gardener in your family doesn’t mind you spearing it into their turf, the spiked version is a little more stable and reliable. But the weighted base option does make it more mobile (so you can take it to the beach or to a friend’s house etc.). As the weather warms up through spring and summer (or even a late ‘Indian Summer’ if it’s a good year!) it can get startlingly hot outside, even in the UK.

They’re really portable too so you can take them to the beach, park or to a family picnic for when the children are going to need to let off steam. The kids jump in and splash around whilst Mum and Dad (or Granny and Grandad!) pull up a chair and dip their feet in to keep cool.
