Were Born Here, And Raised Elsewhere!
I Build ROCK SOLID Swing Sets!
My Sets Cost About The Same As
Store-Bought Sets,
BUT MINE ARE DELIVERED!
AND ASSEMBLED!
AND ROCK SOLID!
CEDAR SUCKS!
Don't buy a swingset kit made of cedar. They are very light, for shipping purposes, so they
can be very flimsy. The wood is so soft and thin that it can split. Go to a store's web site and
read the reviews. Screws can pull out.
And why do they tell you to stain it every year?
Where does all that old stain go? Just check your kids' pants!
PROOF That Cedar Sucks!
Go to craigslist, and search for swing sets for sale.
Notice that nobody EVER sells a used cedar swing set that was
originally sold as a kit! Once in a while you will see a small set intended for
3-year olds. You see people selling sets with metal legs for the same reason: The kids outgrew
it. YOUR kids might grow too!
All you see are huge sets made of pressure treated lumber. And
they all say "you must haul away". These sets are too
big and heavy for you to haul away. What does that tell you? Wouldn't you want
your kids climbing on a swing set that's big and heavy???
Toys-R-Us sells dozens of different kits. They must sell dozens
of each model every year. What happened to them all? Are they worthless after five or ten years? Do
people just cut them up and throw them in the trash? You DO see people selling
just the slides, rocket gliders, and tire swings. Why aren't they selling the
entire set?
If you COULD haul away one of those huge swing sets, would
you?
There's more life left in a ten-year old pressure treated set
than there is in a brand new cedar kit.
Don't buy a cedar kit.
Don't buy a used ten-year old set that you have to haul home.
Let me build you a brand new set using pressure treated lumber.
Don't buy a swing set that YOU have to assemble! You have to haul it home, or you have to pay for delivery. Then you have to
assemble it! You will save some money, but you'll spend that money on Tylenol, bourbon, and marriage counseling. Don't believe me?
Read the customer reviews. It takes two hours just to open the
boxes! None of the pieces are labeled!
Don't buy a play set and hire an installer to
install it! Even if he
does a perfect job, you will still end up with a cedar set that will not last. If you decide to go
this route, at least promise me you will check his insurance.
Don't buy a playset that has a sandbox. A sand box is great, until cats start using it at night. If you want a sandbox, get one with a lid.
I provide a picnic table instead of a sandbox on all but my smallest set.
Let me BUILD you a new swing set using Pressure Treated lumber.
You never have to stain
it (you can if you want to, but you don't have to).
Pressure treated wood is HEAVY!
Pick up a regular 2x4, which weighs more than cedar. Now pick up a
PRESSURE TREATED 2x4. It's even heavier!
My sets are ROCK SOLID!
Depending on your budget, on your yard size, and on your kids'
sizes, I have three different sets:
The PAPA BEAR!
- Two decks: 4 feet high and 5 feet high. It's like two rooms up there!
-
Balcony on the upper deck. Pirates call this a look out.
-
Long slide from upper deck.
-
You get a picnic table instead of a sand box.
You need 22 feet long by 19 feet wide. The monkey bars option adds 8 to the width.
If your space is longer and skinnier, we can move the slide to the side opposite the swing bar.

ALL THREE SETS:
You get a rock climbing wall. And a ladder.
You get room for FOUR swing positions. I provide two sling swings. I provide a third pair of hangers,
where you can add a baby swing, a trapeze, a baby sitter swing, etc. On the far out position you can add a glider, a disk swing, or a tire
swing. These come with their own brackets and hangers.
Delivered! And Assembled!
No cedar! ROCK SOLID pressure treated lumber!
Don't forget that you need a safety zone all the way around.
