Default Rubber Bumper for Shed


wrote in message
oups.com...
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?


Can you build a "moat" in front of the shed and fill it with a few inches of
round gravel? Make a "runaway ramp" out of it. The gravel also will help prevent
injuries when they fall onto it. Slope the moat so it doesn't drop all at once
when they hit it.
