I designed and built this about three years ago for my three kids. The overall design is a composite of what I found looking through online projects. The majority of the construction is pressure treated lumber but, for the platform, I used composite decking left over from another project. It’s sturdy enough for adults to use the swings and not collapse the whole assembly. The extras like the slide, the glider, and the swings were purchased from Lowe’s. Not shown is the canopy roof that I eventually built to cover the platform. I also used the space beneath the platform as a sandbox after adding 2×6s to keep the sand better contained. Knowing that we would be moving within the year, I also planned ahead so that the entire assembly could be broken into five pieces; there was no way that I was going to part with this!
Thanks for looking :-)

Looks like a great play set, I am sure that your kids get a lot of use out of it and a lot of great memories are being made as well.
