I ordered the Gorilla Playsets

I ordered the Gorilla Playsets Tandem swing to go with this set and was extremely disappointed that the hanging brackets were not included. I still haven't been able to hang up the tandem since it didn't come with brackets. If you can't buy them together, you should at least inform the customer they need to be purchased separately along with the carabiners!

Good Playset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this delivered a few days ago and went through all of the pieces to make sure they were there. Unfortunately one piece was missing, still waiting to hear back from the company on a replacement piece, luckily it wasn't a crucial board to the structure of the playset. Directions were fairly easy to follow and the labeling of all the boards was good. Wasn't a fan of how the bolts were seemingly thrown together in random bags that didn't make sense. Once I reorganized all of the bolts myself the process went along quicker. The overall structure is nice and solid, kids love it already, just wish there would have been a little better organization of the hardware.

Kids like it, parents like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We assembled this 2 weeks ago and its good. Assembly went pretty well, although 2 weeks ago we did my neighbors and his had assembly instructions on a great app - BILT. This one seems more stable (better footing) that his. Also his had about 80% predrilled holes, and this one had about 90% predrilled so that helps. But it seems pretty solid. I was impressed that of all those lightweight cedar boards, we didn't have any split on us. It is strange that the monkey bars don't allow kids to enter the upper area of the play set per the instructions, probably for safety or liability. So anyhow I modified mine to remove those pickets so that the kids could get into there from the monkey bars.

Gorilla Outing III - Great playset, easy build

Playset was delivered fast and well packaged. The instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. Almost all of the boards were pre-drilled and ready to assemble. I recommend 2 people for assembly as it helps to have extra hands to support some of the boards, and speeds up assembly. The wood was in great condition and the playset is very solid. Great product, thanks!

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!

So strong!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had bought a different, cheaper brand two years ago and the set began to fall apart within a few months. We decided to invest in a Gorilla and the difference in quality is amazing. So well made. All three of my kids can play on it and I feel confident they are safe. We love it!

Awesome play structure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the local playgrounds closed due to COVID19, my husband and I decided to buy a play structure for our backyard. I'm so glad we did! It took a while for the two of us to build (about 10 hours that we spread over a few afternoons) but the instructions were very clear and the parts labeled. I'd recommend laying everything out to inventory and organize first. After a while we got into a groove putting it together. One of us did the measuring/drilling while the other set out the boards and hardware needed for the next step. It's sturdy, attractive, and the kids absolutely love it.

Great playset for the price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this set for our kids ranging in age from 2-6 and are hoping to get 10 plus years of use out of it. We liked that it was compact in size, yet had a lot of great features for the kids to enjoy. The extra features like the rock wall, steering wheel, and telescope really bring it to life for the kids. I was impressed with the instructions and the relative simplicity to assemble the playset. I had one issue with one of the boards that required a large pilot hole to be drilled. Otherwise, everything went together nicely. I thought the boards might be a little more heavy duty, but the set seems to be solid overall. I was impressed with the quality of the swings, trapeze bar and slide.
