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.

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!

Nice Playset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item a few weeks ago. The shipment was a little delayed but that was expected with everything going on. I was able to get the set together in about 10 hours with 1 persons help. The instructions were awesome which made assembly much easier than I anticipated it would be. I have some playground mulch to put down then some edging to tie it off.

Quality materials and great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the Outing with trapeze arm and wood roof in June, 2020. It arrived just a few short weeks later on a pallet. The quality of the materials is top-notch, this includes the wood and the hardware. Installation took me, a pretty handy 37 year old man about 12 hours total which included leveling the area for the playset. The screws, nuts, bolts, and washers, etc arrived in clear plastic bags contained in a few different boxes. Some of the bags had hundreds of screws of different sizes included, and it would have been helpful for each size to have its own bag, and for them to be labeled with the size. Other than that, the instructions and installation was frustration free. Each wooden piece is stamped with a part number, and the hardware is all easy to recognize. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the playset and would highly recommend it.

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!

Kids love it... but what a build.

So I built this myself, covid alone style. I'm pretty handy, but the task is daunting at first once you start opening the packages. Anyway, I would suggest reading the intro parts of the directions (which I skipped). There they explain important things like how the bolts may actually look different than in the pictures, where the board labels are.. etc. so after fiddle messing around for at least an hour, I finally found the lumber and hardware for step one. This took me approximately two days to build on my own. By the start of day 2 I had enough assembled that the kids could play around on it while I did the finishing touches like the roof, etc. once I actually organized all boards with the labels facing out on my bench it went much smother. I skipped ahead in the directions and put the slide and rock wall on before other steps so the kids could play with that. They did a great job with the directions and diagrams . Oh and I spend at least 30 minutes looking through my things for a square bit, but then realized they provided one..... like they said in the directions I didn't read at first. So I would read them. The final bolt was too short to finish the darn thing, but that was my fault. I had to go through the entire set and did find a bolt that was too long that I must have put in accidentally . Swapped em out and it was all good. It's a big task, but doable if you have the time!

Best decision of the Summer!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to keep a 3, 4, and 6 year old busy outside. The kid love it! It was easy to assemble. It took my husband and I about eight hours. The instructions were easy to understand and came with all of the hardware and then some. I recommend organizing all of the parts and pieces before you start.

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.
