A Garden Extension
If you’re looking for more ways to out-do your neighbours in the green-fingered stakes, but just don’t have the space in your garden, why not use your skip as a stylish planter!
A Swimming Pool
It may not be big enough to invite all your friends over for a dip, but in the hot weather a skip is the perfect size for filling with water and lounging in.
A (Mini) Skate Park
Do you want to show off your skateboarding moves, but keep getting chased out of the local skate park by kids who are more talented than you? All you need is a skateboard, as skips have the perfect angles for a sweet half-pipe!
