Ks....risky at best IMO.....would at least attach a reasonably thick piece of plywood to the back to give some lateral support to those uprights. Toddlers can do amazing things despite their size.

Totally agree, do that fix asap. It wouldn't take to hard of a hit from the side to make that thing rack and collapse.

I can do that, or get my hubby to when he gets in.

Good deal! :cool: It will give this old fart some peace of mind! Would hate to see the cookie cruncher hurt.

Doesn't have to be much, 1/4" or 3/8" thick....easy task. :clap:

Done some work. At the moment I have silicon by twos. I think I have 10-12 pieced so far, before my son woke up from his nap. Now I have to wait until hubby gets in so I can finish the rest.

Oh I heard his truck now...

I just built a 3D Wall a few days ago. It came out looking really good.. I chose not to do the layered style like yours because I figured it would be a real pain in the neck to get all those little cracks and gaps filled with concrete, and I was right lol. Even the way I did it wasnt easy to get every little spot
