From running wild to relaxing together, here's how your garden becomes the family’s favourite place to be
In recent years, the rise of smartphones has caused us to move less and spend significantly more time behind screens. The result? A less healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. We’re less able to simply be bored and find relaxation during free time.
Put your phone aside and try these fun challenges with your family!
Trampoline: endless energy & guaranteed laughter
Kids can’t stay off it. Teens perfect their tricks. And secretly, every grown-up ends up jumping too. Trampoline fun is healthy and versatile: lie down and chill, practise and perform tricks, play games like tag, and the list goes on. A trampoline never gets boring. With an Etan trampoline, you’re investing in durability and years of safe jumping fun. Take a look at the Etan Premium & Etan UltraFlat trampolines, ideal for flips, height competitions, or simply bouncing to clear your mind.
Start a vegetable garden together
Working with your hands, learning where food comes from, and then tasting what you’ve grown, gardening is surprisingly fun for kids and teens (and of course for parents too!).
Vegetables thrive best in a controlled climate. Choose a SunnyTent greenhouse dome that fits your garden. By partially opening the SunnyTent, you can regulate heat, humidity, and growth conditions. When fully closed, it even allows you to stand upright and work comfortably.
Start with easy beginner crops like strawberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Put on your gardening gloves and get started. Bet your harvest will come sooner than expected?

And if gardening turns out not to be your thing, simply place your SunnyTent over your pool, hot tub, or trampoline. The SunnyTent is multifunctional and easy to relocate!
Pool + SunnyTent
A pool is already a party, but add a SunnyTent and it becomes a real game-changer. The tent holds heat and keeps leaves and dirt out of the water.
Which means:
- weeks of extra swimming fun
- hours less cleaning
- up to 10°C warmer water — no energy costs
- increased safety when fully and properly closed
A first dip in April? Floating in October? With SunnyTent, it’s possible.
For teens, it’s the ultimate hangout spot with friends: music on, diving, laughing, snacks — instant holiday vibes, right in your own backyard.
Frisbee: simple, affordable & officially back
No screen, no prep — just grab it and go. Frisbee is making a comeback, and it makes sense: it works for every age.
- For kids: run, catch, throw.
- For teens: challenge accepted — trick shots!
- With adults: turn it into a competition that ends with a splash in the pool.
- And don’t forget to let the dog join in!
Bonus: frisbee requires space and movement, so everyone stays active without even noticing.
Chill-spot + outdoor movie night in the SunnyTent
A garden isn’t just for running and playing, it’s also the perfect place to unwind. Style your SunnyTent as a cosy lounge area and you’ve created a mini living room outdoors.
Add soft cushions, beanbags or an inflatable lounger, warm blankets, and ambient lighting around the edges of the tent. This creates a snug space where kids can read, teens can chill with music, and the whole family can relax together without wind or chilly evening air.
