Sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this two years ago! Love it ! Kids love it! Sturdy, strong wish it was made for older ages too Cause kids still like to swing as they get older and younger ones always want adults to swing with them!

Bought this for our twin grandkids for their 6th birthday. We cannot believe the quality for the price point that we paid. The trucking company's driver that delivered it went above and beyond and the product arrived with all the parts and no damages,

Quality, handsome, and the kid loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the wood-roof version of Outing w/ Trapeze Bar Swing Set during the COVID pandemic since we aren't able to use the play structures at our local parks. It took a few days to build, but I was able to do it almost entirely by myself, with just a bit of help from my wife a couple times when some pieces had to be propped up or balanced before they were bolted together. The instructions are fantastic. Every piece is clearly marked and all the wood is pre-cut and pre-drilled so it's really just an assembly project. I know Gorilla playsets are more expensive than some you can find elsewhere, but I believe it is well worth it to get a sturdier, higher quality set. I'm not worried about pieces splintering or cracking or anything like that. We made a slight modification to the instructed set. Instead of putting the vertical slats and windows above the slide and ladder, we instead installed those on the opposing back side. We kept the wheel against the back, but moved the spyglass to the space above the ladder. This was because the back side looked toward our neighbor's yard and we wanted to be conscious about privacy for both our neighbors and our playing children. If you want to do this "perfectly" you'll have to cut some of the vertical wall boards shorter, but I didn't and it just means that on the back side the boards go down a bit further than on the other walls.

Great playset, easy assembly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just finished assembling this today and our kids love it. The instructions were easy to understand and it went together pretty quickly. My mother, husband, and I put it together while watching kids, working from home, etc. in about 4 afternoons. My only complaint is that I wish the hardware had been labeled. We went through and wrote labels for each bag of hardware and that took a little while, but knowing what was what made assembly go much faster.

Very happy with overall experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for our kids for Christmas (3rd wk of November) and was concerned it might not get here on time given the vague time frame for delivery. Brenda from customer service was so helpful throughout. From helping me with the initial purchase, to providing me with updates along the way, she was always extremely responsive and informative. Delivery was scheduled and came from the freight company a few weeks before Christmas (ahead of the expected timeframe given). I built the swing set with my Dad and while we thought we could do it in 6 hours or so (he's a retired tradesman and I have grown up in a similar environment), it still took us about 12-13 hours all in all. I was surprised by this since I consider both of us very handy, but we lost a lot of time just trying to dig the set into the ground to get it level. This was by far the greatest challenge so if possible I'd recommend leveling the ground first. Even though it took a while it was fairly easy all the way through. I was very very very impressed with the organization of all of the parts and how easily identifiable they were as we went through the steps to build. In fact, I was initially drawn and was willing to pay more for Gorilla since I knew many of the holes were pre-drilled and the reviews for set up/installation were pretty solid. I cannot stress enough how happy I am that I made this decision and did not settle for less. It would not have been worth it to buy a cheaper set that might come without these things. My only two issues were that the telescope came a little damaged to the point where I could not affix/mount it on the bracket that it came with, and there was one (one out of hundreds that is) 6" bolt that came with damaged threads and we couldn't get a nut onto the end of it. I emailed Brenda at customer service and once again, she answered me within 30 mins and had the two parts shipped to me right away. So great. The kids haven't spent much time on the swing set just yet and I have only had it up for less than 5 days, so I can't speak to durability etc., but overall I am very pleased with my experiences with Gorilla so far and I would definitely recommend.

I WOULD SAY THAT 90% OF THE INSTALLATION WAS SIMPLE. THE ISSUE I HAD WAS AT TIMES THE T NUTS AND BOLTS WOULD NOT LINE UP. SO FAR I AM IMPRESSED AT HOW STURDY THE SWING SET IS. WHEN BOTH OF MY KIDS ARE SWINGING THERE IS NO SWAY IN THE BEAM AS IS THE CAS

Great craftsmanship, smooth construction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this spring (2021) to replace a decrepit swing set that we inherited when we moved into our house a year ago. The instructions were fantastic, I was able to completely assemble by myself in about 8-9 hours spread over 2 days. If I was to do it again, I would separate all the hardware by size and label in individual containers. By doing so you could easily construct this in an afternoon

I really liked the play

I really liked the play set. _x000D_ I ran into issues when driving the lag bolts. Couple lag bolts caused the wood to crack. The steering wheel lag bolt is too long and it hits the swing arm bolt causing the steering wheel to be loose. I replaced the bolt for a shorter one_x000D_
