Jan 29, 2009: Rolling Summer House
A Rolling Summer House? What the hell is a Rolling Summer House?
The Brits will have to explain that because I don't think this is a typical example.
| In 2007 Charlie Whinney created the Rolling Summer house, an extraordinary spherical structure large enough to relax inside, but light enough for an adult to roll around a garden. Children can use it as a climbing frame, and it can be safely anchored to the ground with three child-proof legs. |
|
There are currently two designs, both elaborate, geometrical representations of microscopic natural phenomena: a pollen grain (4 metres) a planktoncell (3 metres) |

They got the name messed up... Supposed to be called, "The Rolling Summer Anus"

A summer house is like a treehouse without a tree, and more permanent than a wendy house (whic is in effect a tent). It's effectively an adult-sanctioned den or fort.
Damned cool looking. But hugely expensive I would imagine. Then again, if you have money, might as well spend it on your kids.

It would never make it on this side of the pond. It has no remote control.

Wouldn't a tent be easier?

"...and it can be safely anchored to the ground with three child legs."
What happens with the 4th leg?

Child PROOF legs?

I think you're right SG, child proof anchors to keep the blighters from rolling down the lane.
