I added a bucket on a pulley to the boys tree fort a week or two ago.
I wondered about adding anything when they have not really been using it much but I always wanted a tree house with a bucket on a pulley…
They actually figured out that they could just hang out up there(something they usually do on the ground) and stayed up in the fort for a while.
My oldest wanted to haul things in the bucket over and over but my youngest thought going up the climbing wall over and over was too tiring.
They are so different.
I bought the pulley set at Harbor Freight.
It is has three pulley’s and is made for a lot of weight.
Since I do not really want my boys lifting 100+ pounds with it and the lines kept twisting, I redid it so the rope is only using one pulley.
I am glad my husband was around to suggest that!
I thought I would need to buy a different pulley…
HA!
It was not long before my oldest told his little brother to get in the bucket and he would haul him up…
I am glad I stayed outside so I could veto that action and make sure they understood that people were not to be hauled up!
Boys…
