The Skyfort Cedar Playset

The Skyfort Cedar Playset

After viewing hundreds of playgrounds, reading reviews, and seeking advice on message boards, we decided to purchase the Skyfort Cedar Playset from Sams.com for the kiddos.  The price of installation was almost half the cost of the playground, so we opted to do it all ourselves.  It took at least 5 days (many of which lasted 6-8 hours), but the project is finally in the last stages (only a few minor things remain).  Here's the process in pictures...

If you're interested in this playset, I'm sure my husband would be happy to share our experience (all positive).

  4. FYI: The slide and monkey bars are reversed from the intended layout and currently (in pictures) have not been attached. The slide switches easily, but the monkey bars do not attach with the intended pieces to the pictured location.
