Outdoor swing sets

Please recommend yours. I am not looking to spend more than a thousand. I have a three year old and one year old. But I am looking to have the set for at least five years. Plastic or wood? Where did you get yours? TIA!

Good post. My boys are the same age. Every time DH goes to Cosco he's always eyeing their swingset. We are considering getting that one when it goes on sale.
Wonder if anyone has any reviews on it.

Re: Outdoor swing sets

I would love to know as well!!! We too are in the market for a swing set!

Re: Outdoor swing sets

We have a creative play one. But look on craigslist before you purcahse on. We found ours on craigslist and saved a ton. Yes my Dh had to take it apart, transpsrt it back to our house and re set it up again. But with what we saved was worth it.

We paid $300 for ours, plus we had to purchase a new canopy top.

We have this Walmart one. Backyard Adventures is the brand. They have a bunch of great ones. This is our 5th year with it, and it's fine except for the canopy which ripped from a tree falling onto it and is shredded from the wind. I emailed the company and they said I could buy a replacement, but they suggested just making my own with the colored heavy duty tarps and a staple gun to save the $60!

Walmart stores have a few sets on clearance. I know this one is $249 at Walmart in Setauket (the little tag for the swingsets is on a plastic hanging thing near bikes).

We have a Gorilla Playset, and we really like it, very good quality. We got it when my older was about 2.5, and my younger was 6 months. We put the baby swing on it, he loved it!
