Great job Mike. Did you work from plans or just wing it? I built a swing set years and years ago for my children. It was not nearly as large or complex as this one. I fashioned it after one at a local department store. I kept visiting the store with tape measure and paper/pencil in hand to take measurements. Store security must have really wondered about me. Again, great build and it is obviously a hit with the grandchildren and their friends.

Very nice, I just finished putting one up. I bought one of those kits to save time but now I think I could have designed one just as quick instead of haveing to search through hundreds of peices of wood and 20 different screw type each time I added a piece. Thanks god the instructions were well done.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Like Lenny I went down to the big box store with tape measure, paper and pencil in hand to take measurements. From there I did it my way or, “just winged it”. Rex said he bought one of the kits. I looked at the price, and then build it for about a third of the cost.

Very Nice, Mike!

That looks awesome. I considered building one for my kids but when I saw the cost of the slide, swings and hardware, I was floored. I think the plastic slide (maybe 6’ long) alone was about $200 and another $200 for the swings and hardware. I ended up buying a kit at the big toy store on sale for about $450. The wood was terribly dry and brittle but it had all the parts. Ended up modifiying it with pressure treated 4×4s but overall, I feel like we ended up with a solid structure not unlike yours.

Great job grandpa! I’m sure the kids just love it!
