Anyone have plans that they used? Not looking to go crazy but also do not want to buy one that is already precut and such. Want to built it myself.

Much appreciated

I bought Dave R's old set-up which he built. I don't know where he bought the plans, or if they would still be available. Hopefully he'll chime in.

I will be using the ones at the elementary school which are a stone's throw away. A friend made his from sketches he drew himself. Bought the slide, rock wall, swing stuff from Lowes or where ever.

OH...that is what I would like to do. But thought someone might have a sketch with a lumber list.

Menards have lumber lists.

BR...I looked last weekend and did not like what I saw. Too complex actually.

You can build this one with, or without the deck.

Fort & Swingset

Capn...I like that one. But again, no lumber list and no "plans".

Scroll to the bottom and order plans for $18.95 via E-mail for
the one pictured above. Swingset/Fort

Built ours 15 years ago for our daughter's 1st birthday, and expect to be using it with the grandkids in a few more years.

I built the Eagle's Nest and the Scout. You buy the kit which includes all the hardware, swings, slide, etc., and it comes with a lumber list. I used PT lumber for all of it, and stained it.

Just extend one of the rafters out on this and put a post on the free end to hang a swing from.

Some other ideas...

The one I built was from Swing-n-Slide plans and I used their hardware. I was very pleased with the stuff. Spent 9 years at my house and was still in nice enough shape to sell. I do not see the same plans in their web site though. Seems they have completely done away with the monkey bar option.

Another good source for the hardware and accessories is detailedplay.com.
I bought some stuff from them for the "addition" on the set we got from Dave. Nice equipment and decent pricing.

I've seen quite a few sets - some very nice for free listed on Craigslist - Most just wanted them removed quickly.

Look for a Rainbow dealer and buy a left over model. We got ours for about 50% off. It still looks good after 5 years and only 1 coat of stain. http://www.rainbowplay.com/ They come complete with all the lumber, screws, and holes already drilled. It took about a case for the four of us to put it together.
