The Most Dangerous Playground I've Ever Built

What happens here

To enhance the usability and ambiance of the playground during evenings, solar-powered string lights and a solar beacon light are installed. The builder threads the string lights along the rope ladder side of the A-frame. For the beacon light, he shortens its stake using an angle grinder, drills a half-inch hole at the very peak of the A-frame, and inserts the modified beacon light, creating a functional and decorative lighting scheme. The solar lights automatically charge during the day and illuminate at night.

Goal: Add functional and aesthetic lighting for nighttime use.
