With the two A-frames laying on the ground, mark 45” up from the bottom of the legs on both frames. Lay the 55” side of the deck assembly on one A-frame so the bottom of the deck aligns with the marks you made. Once we did this, we realized we had a problem, or, rather, a few dozen problems. Namely, the sharp, pointy screws from the climbing holds that were now poking out on the other side of the plywood. And, you know me, I’m all about safety and kids not getting tetanus.

It all looks like such a fun (and safe!) place to play. You’re all up to speed with all the parts we’ve actually built so far. Before I can tell you about the swingset part, we’ll have to actually build it. Which we hope to do in the next couple of weeks, now that Dave is pretty much done with school for summer! We just need to recruit a tallish person to come over and help, I think.

Step 7: Build Climbing Wall

If there’s an area that’s extremely divoted, you may need to use sand to raise it up to the same level as the rest of the ground. Once this is done, you can install your swing set and cover the area with a shock-absorbing material. The ALEKO Child Swing is made from steel and features a non-slip seat for safety, and you can even adjust the height of the seat to suit your child’s needs. The overall design is quite simple, but it’s also budget-friendly and easy to assemble. No more fighting over swings with this set from Sportspower. This set lives up to its “Super Star” name with two classic swings, a flying saucer, a Roman glider, and a slide that can accommodate up to seven kids at once.

Somehow I decided a good angle of depression (i.e. measured from the horizontal) was 22.5 degrees. Sounds arbitrary, but it’s half of 45 degrees which is half of 90 degrees – and my nifty new miter saw has an easy preset for 22.5. Anyways, that determined how to cut the 2×4 railings, the deck boards, and most importantly the supporting 2×4 underneath the ramp. Most swing sets need to be anchored to the ground to prevent them from tipping over, and there are a few ways to do it. Some swing sets come with ground anchors that screw into the soil—similar to the ones you’d use to stake a tent—and these anchors are also available online.

On the opposite side of the frame as the ladder rungs, we’ll create a 5’ climbing wall using 16 35” two-by-fours. Place the bottom of the first board 6” up from the bottom of the legs and screw into place on each end using two 3” screws.

You’ll also want to consider the size of your family. Unless your child is frequently bringing friends over to play, a one-child household probably won’t require as large a set as a family with five children. Cedar and redwood are among the most termite- and weather-resistant types of wood, making them the preferred lumber for wooden playsets.

For ourAngled-BaseandMulti-Deckswing sets, your property should be relatively level. Surface cracks and checking are natural characteristics of any outdoor wood product. They do not affect the structural integrity of the swing set.

Metal swing sets are typically low maintenance and extremely durable, and the Lifetime Monkey Bar Adventure Swing Set offers children several ways to play thanks to its complex design. Not everyone has a backyard they can dedicate to a playset, so if all you’ve got right now is indoor space, we recommend Cassaro’s wooden playset pieces. The Jumbo Waldorf Rocker with Slide includes a climbing rocker and 3-foot ramp, which is two-sided and can be used for climbing or sliding down. It’s a great introductory set, and you can buy additional pieces to mix and match as your child grows. Every child has that one playset item they love most, and for some, nothing beats the monkey bars. You’ll want to consider things like how much space you have in your yard to dedicate to a playset and what kinds of activities your child or children enjoy when at their local playground.

When I wrote the first post about the tower, I directed you to the tutorial over at View Along the Way because we mostly just followed that, with minor variations.

Refer to the Shipping tab on the swing set product page for box weights, dimensions, and box count.

Attach three 35” two-by-four ladder rungs so the top of the rungs align with the marks you made. Lay the other A-frame flat on top of the deck assembly at the position you marked and screw securely in place. Make sure to insert the screws from the bottom, so they go through the deck assembly into the frame. Wood is sturdy and durable but will need some maintenance yearly.
