Goat playgrounds - Phil-O-Rama - 02-17-2014

Just saw this video, and I NEED to have one now.



Any other great / crazy ideas for goat playgrounds you've seen?

I can't stop watching this video. I think I'm going to have to take it down to the hardware store with me and ask them for suggestions about materials and installation. Lilly would have a hey-day!

We had a super-wobbly spool that appeared to be on the verge of collapse for several months and the goats LOVED that thing. I wish I could have seen it's final demolition, but alas, it was standing when I left to fetch water last week and it was in a heap on the ground when I got back. They liked it a lot better than the solid non-rickety spools (even though it did kind of make me nervous).

What is that they are jumping on?

To the spool thing: I had a spool for my goats to play on once as well, and when it fell apart I realized there were really long metal bolts in it. I was horrified, thinking how someone could have impaled herself on one. Luckily, this didn't happen!

Might try a 1000 gallon poly tank. Get em for free if they have holes in em. Just cut the top and bottom off and then cut in half. About the closest thing I can think of that would match it.
