After framing in the perimeter and filling it with 16 yards of playground mulch, we had this playground installed. They only charged us $200 to install it; that was so worth it. They brought it in sections with a Bobcat and installed it in place. This is heavy-duty . It took 2 (young) guys about four hours to put this together.

We have 11 grandkids so far :)

Look similar to the brand we put together for my kid, about 15 years ago, except it was just parts and instructions and you had to buy the wood and cut it and drill holes.

I just don't want to hear those famous words any more: "There's nothing to do!"

It's gonna be 90 degrees today and tomorrow, another thing we do is put the oscillating sprinkler under the trampoline, the kids and dogs all love it!

Action shot - goldendoodles with all eight feet in the air, LOL.

Yeah this thing is industrial strength; made of 4X6's and 4X4's.

I'm gonna have to put a $1 coin turnstyle on my back yard gate for all the neighbor kids, LOL.

Ours was all 2X6s and 2X4s too ! The other options look really flimsy and short lived. Ours got sold off to another family with younger kids after years of use.
