Children's den

A children's den is a shelter or hideout built by children, often involving broken fence-boards, nets and sticks. It is often built in a bush or tree. A classic den uses a panel of wood for the roof, floorboards or fence-boards (known collectively as 'boards') for the floor and a net with leaves on it as camouflage. It is often used as a hangout for children and children can design and decorate it however thry like.
