Swing-n-Slide Pioneer Custom DIY Play Set Hardware Kit - Project 245

Easy to follow instructions. My kid loves it!

Haven't put it together yet but all the pieces are there and it was a great value. May update after its put together.

The swingset was just what my daughter wanted. This was my second Swing-and-Slide project. I built the first one for my niece 6 years ago and it is still like brand new. The beauty of both sets is you can do the math and adjust the location of the swings and accessories. I put the the swings far apart to decrease the chances of the kids intentionally banging in to each other with the swings. It was a waste of time and gas to shop at [@] They had limited selection, no help and the sets they did have in stock were quite expensive. I did later go to Home Depot to get the lumber required. I recommend buying a solid main beam instead of mending two together. And once spring gets here I plan to seal it with a deck weatherproofing agent. Instead of using 8 ft 4x4s I instead bought ten footers and sunk them in concrete. The swingset is not going to go anywhere now. I will probably add a modified tree house to it in the fall. The price and reputation is what sold me on the Swing-and-slide product. I need to give credit to my 75 year old mom helping build it also. This was also her second swing project.

My husband put this swingset together by himself in one afternoon. We did need to get a neighbor to help him lift it up, as you put it together on the ground. My husband is pretty handy- I don't know if you could do this if you didn't know anything about woodworking. You need to own a drill and a table saw to make the cuts required. I ordered the lumber from my local [...] for delivery. We used redwood- we probably spent around $200 inc. delivery fee so keep this in mind when you buy the set. The swingset is beautiful though and the kids (2 & 4) love it!

Pictured detail directions would be useful. We added an extra foot to the length of ours and really like the size for older kids.
