Swing-N-SlideScout Custom DIY Play Set Hardware Kit (wood not included) Brown

Perfect. I'm pretty handy and was prepared to create an A-Frame swingset on my own using wood as braces from the 4x6 to the A-Frame, but figured I'd use metal frames instead. I purchased this kit and it was easy as anything. The instructions provide all of the necessary measurements, include all of the hardware, etc. All you need to do is purchase the wood, which is around $100.Reading some of these reviews, I don't know what these people were thinking or if just this project is a bit too difficult for them. If you can read a tape measure, use a miter saw (or just a miter box if that's all you have), and a screwdriver, you can pretty much do this project. I did the entire project on my own and just needed help lifting the set to its upright position, since it's pretty heavy.Once I had it built, it does not move at all. The 4x4 legs are great pieces of wood and make it very sturdy. I recommend this kit highly.

Great value for the dollar. It cost us about the same for lumber as the kit costs, using all pressure treated dimensional lumber. Could have done it cheaper without using pressure treated, but this is going to be outside in the elements so it is worth the extra expense.One person can put most of it together, but when it comes time to do final assembly you will need a helper to hold things while they are bolted together.Not sure about the reviews stating you need a bunch of extra hardware... ours came well-packaged with all required screws and bits. You will probably want a 3/8" drill bit and a 1 1/8" spade bit, but other than that most handy people will have the necessary tools already. A cordless drill is a big help during assembly, as is a square and tape measure. Pay attention to the measurements when building the A-frame as this sets the stage for everything to line up at the correct angle.The swing set seems plenty sturdy enough, I don't worry about this one breaking like our old steel tube one. It's fairly easy and logical to put together, and should last a long time.

Received accessory kit. Packed well with all parts there. Materials appear well made and as described. Included directions were helpful. Worked well for DIY swing set. Frame braces made set very sturdy. Swings, Rings, chains, hangers all well made. Only issue were bolts that should have been 4 1/2 inches instead of 5 1/2 since not fully threaded.

First, this shipped quickly. If you’re looking for a swing set during this Covid spring where all swing sets are sold out, Amazon currently states it typically ships in 2-3 weeks. Ours shipped within a week and we had it within a week and a half. (It shipped from GA and we are in MN.)Bear in mind we’ve only had this up for a day, so can’t speak to the longevity. But we found it to be a great set.This took my husband maybe six hours to put together total, even with the “help” of a two-year-old. We did not have any missing parts (but we did have tons of screws and an extra bracket left over.) The directions were not crystal clear at times, and in fact there was a booklet and a leaflet in the box, both with instructions which sometimes contradicted one another. This didn’t seem like a big deal since anyone with the tools to build this kit will have enough know-how to navigate the vagueness.The drill bit provided is too short to reach all the way through the crossbeam. You will need your own drill bit.My husband did have to countersink the bolts that hold the A-frames to the crossbeam, as the ones provided are too short. This isn’t mentioned in the directions. However, the rest of the bolts provided (for the swing hangers) were of adequate length, and the whole swing hanger setup seemed revised compared to what older reviewers complained about. The swings attach with D-rings so it’s very easy to swap out if you have additional play equipment.My husband added a small crossbeam toward the top of each A-frame to make this a little easier to move. Assembled, it is extremely heavy. (We will not be anchoring it.)The play equipment itself appears to be heavy duty and good quality. The plastic is smooth without any sharp edges from plastic molds you sometimes see on cheap plastic products. The coating on the chains seems great. The trapeze and rings are only rated for 115 pounds, so keep this in mind if you have older or larger children. The swings are comfortable even for me, but flex/hug my two-year-old enough that he feels secure.We also bought a two-person glider (and glider hangers) separately, shown in photo (which is inexplicably, irreversibly upside down.)

This is our second Swing N Slide creation and we LOVE LOVE LOVE them. A few things of note for this one:The 3/8" drill bit that comes with it is NOT long enough to drill through a 4x6x12/16 pieces of lumber. When you buy your lumber, also buy a longer drill bit, at least 8 inches. I got a 16" one from Home Depot for about $12, unfortunately not on the same trip as the lumber.While the swings pictured are blue, ours came with a different style swing, with a green seat. This is an improvement as the blue ones we had on our old swing set, and the seat was always falling off of the chains.As is noted, the swing set comes with 3 sets of hangers and things that can be hung on it. Our trapeze bar also has a set of rings in it so I guess we can pick once we get to that point; we have to get another swing hanger set as the baby swing was a much higher priority for our 2yo than a set of rings.The price difference between a 12' and a 16' beam is minimal and as long as you have the space, is totally worth having an extra space for swinging things.I've researched swing sets for days and keep coming back to the Swing N Slide ones because they're simply the best! Next summer, we're going to build a playhouse using one of the other SNS models and leaving off the beam for the swings. I look forward to it (although not all that lumber cutting...)

Great. The same type of set was sold out at Costco.

Je ne l'ai pas encore installé mais je crois que c'est quand même de bonne qualité.

So we like the swing set a lot overall. It went together smoothly, and our addition of a stand up wooden swing for the vacant fourth spot has been a good fun one. Our 4 and 6 year old have been loving it. It’s very very heavy with the suggested wood- we haven’t seen any need to stake it yet, even with 4 kids on it at once.Unfortunately the trapeze bar rusted very quickly (within the first 6 weeks) and now can’t be used for fear of rust stains on clothes.

Product was great. Kids love it.

Great kit, now we need a slide!
