I will be building a backyard playground this spring.
I have been searching online and most of what I find is "free plans"

I was planning on using pea gravel as a base, but I want to make sure
I have proper drainage.

I was planning on leveling and digging down some with my tractor.
Installing all of the poles
Putting down a heavy layer of plastic
Timbers around the edges to contain the gravel.
Then filling with pea gravel.

But I think I need to add something for drainage.

I'd dig it down a little deeper and put in a foot or so of coarse gravel or
crushed stone then landscape fabric (instead of plastic) then bark
mulch..Much softer and less scraped knees...

I don't want to have mulch that rots.

The reason for the plastic is to allow me to remove the rock at a
later date, but then again this isn't probably an issue.
