I haven't heard the best about them, would also be interested to hear from people who have them. I have been looking at getting a backyard adventures set myself for my daughter in the next few months. Some good deals can be found on them, I found a local place that had an outgoing version of the Olympian treehouse that he has on sale that I will probably buy.

What are the price range for those? This one seems to be the best value. They all use Chinese cedar. I've been looking for a while. We've had relatives give us money instead of toys for the last birthdays and Christmas, so we aren't coming out of pocket at all which is nice.

I built my own with plans off the Internet. It's all treated lumber, cost was half of those cheap sets, and it's twice as durable.

Is the Gorilla included with the set?

The one I am looking at is just below 2k installed. They are modifying it to be fully enclosed underneath for a playhouse instead of the dumb picnic table.

I built my own off plans. Took about three weekends. I built for under $1000. But I got some things like slide and rock wall off an old playset. Search Gemini playset. Plans are like $25 buck.

We have the lifetime brand of playground equipment...we have the swing set and jungle gym in matching colors..was thinking about the little teeter totter airplane for the younger kids...easiest swing set to put together I've heard of! Only a couple hours for 1 person.

Amazon..we bought the two things we have off of there...the reviews of the other wood play sets kind if scared me saying the timeframe was line 4 hours but really took a day and a half...these reviews for lifetime were spot on with just a couple hours for the swing set with slide and monkey bars, and that was doing it by myself..

Rainbow play systems will come build one in your back yard. I couldn't imagine trying to put that shite together.
