Great Swing set for our yard size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When looking at several different swing sets we went with this one because it had the solid wood roof, a straight slide and a tube slide. It is windy where we live and a canopy roof wouldn’t last. Thought the price was decent for all the activities you get. We decided to install ourselves. Directions were pretty easy to follow. Everything was labeled clearly. I did majority of it by myself. Only a few parts you might need some help. Make sure to have a drill, socket adaptor for drill or socket wrench. Took me about 3 days to complete but that’s working on and off throughout the day. If you work none stop you can probably finish in one day with help or two days by yourself. We were worried about the size of the swing set. This was perfect size for our yard. We don’t have a huge yard so this swing set works perfectly. My 2 1/2 year old is loving the swing set and can pretty much do all the activities herself.

EXCELLENT HARDWARE and easy to follow directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the end of March and it arrived at the end of April. The packaging was excellent and finally had a nice weekend to put it up! Instructions were easy to follow, all of the board pieces were labeled, the accessories were in separate bags and the hardware was with them. The only semi complaint is that they didn't label the bags with the wood screws, hex bolts, carriage bolts etc. Each part required a specific size screw or nut, so I found myself measuring each one to ensure I was using the correct size. I would still highly recommend this product, but labeling the bag would have helped me get it together faster. Everything was amazing and looks even better! I put it up Sunday and my kids want to go out every day now! I cant wait for nicer weather so we can all be outside and playing!

Solid Investment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a month ago and built it myself. Relatively simple to install. The instructions are detailed and helpful. I was missing a few pieces of hardware for the installation but customer service was very helpful and shipped the missing pieces quickly. The swing set is high quality and very sturdy. Lots of play features to keep the kids entertained.

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for our 6 year old son. He spends hours on this play set using his imagination and burning a ton of energy. Play set is built with high quality products and will last as our son gets older

Excellent quality and variety of

Excellent quality and variety of options for each set. Its impressive that my 17, 6, and 2 year olds can all play on it at once without any strain on the playset. And I love that one of the first things you see when opening the box is a parts checklist with each section hand signed ensuring nothing’s been missed. While we’ve only had ours a few months, my brother and his family have had theirs almost 10 years and is just as safe and sturdy as when they first bought it. We’re so pleased we spent the few extra hundred bucks (vs some of the cheaper brands out there) and went with this one!

Solid Construction & Great Installation Guide

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put together the play set over Labor Day weekend with the help of three adults. Overall it took about 7 hours of actual work. The play set was delivered with no damages parts and was very well labeled. Even the hardware was well labeled! The instructions were hands down the best set of instructions I’ve ever used. The play set itself is wonderful. We have a 14 yo, 2.5 yo, and newborn. It was very important that all of them could play together on this set. In particular we were concerned with getting a swing set that could handle an adult height/weight so our 14 year old ++ could join the little kids on the swings. At 130lbs and 5’ 4” she easily swings on the set no issue or strain on the swing bar. Height wise getting into the club area is a challenge for her but swinging was our main concern. The set is solid and with maintenance via the staining I have no double it will last for all three kids.

High Quality Set - Kids Love It!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just purchased the Outing with Tube Slide for my 3 year old and 1 year old and they love it. We have used it every day for the past two weeks. My 3 year old's favorite part is the swings. My 1 year old loves playing in the fort (with mommy or daddy watching him) with his dump trucks. I was able to put the set together by myself in about 10 hours without any helpers. Started by reading the directions carefully and measuring out the location of the swing set in my back yard (used some small flags to mark the 4 corners of the main fort) the night before. Spent 2 hours sorting all of the pieces and hardware when it first arrived. From there it was a breeze - the directions are very clear and they come with an easy to use 1:1 size chart for the hardware. The longest part (about 4 hours) was leveling the ground underneath the swing set. Highly recommend a good cordless drill, impact driver, drill bit set, deep docket set, and 3' level. Sorting the hardware in tupperware containers before starting the project probably saved me a few hours. The product itself is very well made. The swing set is sturdy and every accessory (swings, trapeze, slides, telescope, etc.) are high quality. I love the cedar finish on the wood and the bright green, yellow, and blue colors on all the accessories. I'm glad I spent a few more dollars to go with Gorilla over other brands - well worth the investment!

Assembled the playset today, and was pleased at the way it went together. Only problem we had was figuring out the 4 main beams for the fort. Got the front and the rear ones switched. Had to correct this before going any farther. Everything fit very well.
