My kids (2.5 boys), ride their trikes down the driveway (a small, safe
incline) and use my shed to stop the ride. Eventually, they are going
to damage the wooden door.

Any thoughts about what I could use to prolong the life of the shed
door? I checked out the local HD, and didn't see anything that I
thought I could use as a safe bumper.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?


A nearby state park has a huge hill that they open for inner-tube
sliding
when it's snowing. Trees and other hard objects are padded with bales
of
hay. Works nicely. For your purposes, put a thick rope around the bale
so
you can drag it out of the way easily. When the hay begins to
decompose,
spread it somewhere as mulch.

i wouldn't do that. it would hold the moisture against the shed.


That's the reason for the ropes - to move the bales away. Almost anything
he
attaches to the door is going to trap moisture.


barbed wire won't

he could hammer large nails through the door so they point outwards. but the
kids would attract moisture. and then there is all that blood.
