I want to build(assemble) a wooden playset in the backyard for my little ones. I put one together for neice/nephew about 10 years ago. Was a pain in the arse but they loved it. Anyone have suggestions on brand, retailer, etc?

TIA

Father in-law and I put together the playset kit from Home Depot. It wasn't too bad. Big Horn I think it was.

The goal is to get the kids away from the TVs & tablets and burn some energy outside.

They deliver and install themselves

Worth the money IMO

I did check them out. I've heard good things, but it seems like they are over twice as much what it would cost if I put it together myself.

Those are pretty impressive. Looks like I can't get pricing online. Will have to call them next week.

I built one for my kids - Home Depot kit - treated wood.

They are in HS now. Come get it. Want to get rid of it. Will save you the pain in the arse.

I think it's a valid clarification. Build sounds like from scratch, assemble sounds like buying one from a box and putting it together to me.

Build one if you have the time.

I'm in the middle of building one right now, will cost about $300 for one I could buy for about $1200.

But mostly it's because I enjoy building things and want to see my kids enjoy it.
Wish I knew how to post pictures from my phone. Honestly not hard if you make it a square. These below are pretty simple.
