Build your own out of treated lumber. Best thing I did for those animals. LINK

my kid took a huge dump in her playhouse. I did not figure it out for weeks. everytime we would walk out on the back patio of our trailer I would smell shite.

Get a nice powder coated heavy duty swing set without all that other bull shite. When the kids leave the house throw a nice cypress swing under it for you and the wife.

That is what I did using the set you could purchase at Lowes before Katrina. Katrina took it out so I had to build it a second time (using the plans that happened to evacuate with us). Much faster doing the second build.

I'm about to head to work. I'll post some pics later tonight. It's in good condition but a bit weathered. Obviously you'd be welcome to inspect it.

How handy are are?

I decided to just design and built one for my son (at the time) 10 years ago and now both my sons have essentially outgrown the damn thing. Still looks great...basically over built it to the point that I'll likely have to burn the damn thing down to get it down when we finally feel like getting rid of it. Every spring I check it over and cover it with a water treatment if water doesn't bead up on it anymore...but other than that it's been a tank.

All it takes is spending a bit of time looking at the specs of the ones you like, determining materials list, and then buy what you need locally. I liked being able to hand pick the boards I wanted, etc. The one I built doesn't look exactly like all the others in the neighborhood as I was able to add and change things in the design I didn't like.
