My parents bought a swing set a few years ago. It came with tarps that made canopies that covered a little table and also the platform at the top of the slide. The sun had completely rotted them. They had holes in them. It was time to do something new. I took apart four free pallets. I got enough wood to fix all three sloped awnings.
We decided that we needed to stain the new roofs to make them match the rest of the swing set and to protect them from the weather. I had a very small amount of reddish brown stain from when I made a set of bunk beds and I had some oak colored stain. Neither was enough to complete the job alone. I also had a small can of polyurethane. I dumped all three together, not measuring. I am very pleased with the color. I think it matches near perfectly. More importantly, Grandma Jenson thinks it matches near perfectly. It was a fun project.

That will be nice for the kids to have some shade while playing. It looks good.
