Swingset  Kits

return to AmericanPlayscapes.com:

    Buy your own lumber and build a swing set. All the hardware and instructions are in the kit. Use the lumber list to purchase the wood at your local building supply. The play sets are designed to be built with a few basic tools. Different finish levels can also be applied to the wood. Pressure treated pine is used in the construction, and is readably obtained. Here are the quality features of our swing set kits.

·        All bolt and screw construction (no nails).

·        Quality bolts and locknuts, square drive weather coated screws.

·        Weather resistant outdoor vinyl tents (not canvas).

·        Galvanized steel swing swivels (not ny-glides).

·        Plastic coated chain belt seats (not rope).

·        Metal trapeze, safer design is on fort (not on swing beam).

·        Optional slide can be purchased online.

·        Choose your own colors.

     The minimum tools required for drilling and cutting the lumber are a simple hand drill and a circular saw. You can speed up the fabrication of the pieces if you have a chop saw and a drill press. It is also helpful to have a small table saw to rip some of the pieces. You will also need a Planer, Router, and a Sander if you plan to surface plane and round over the edges of the lumber.
     The optional slide is sold separately. The scoop slide comes in two pieces and can be shipped UPS. If you choose not to attach a slide the opening in the fort can be closed off.
