Backyard play sets

[katka512]

Does anyone have a play set in their backyard that you would recommend? We are looking into getting one and don't know where to look.

Something like this

That looks fun!!

Our backyard is a giant hill...so I'm hopeful I can find a little something to play with on the deck instead.

I'm looking for a toddler sized play set. We can't afford anything too fancy but I want to be able to play outside with her.

Us too - and I need small (to fit the deck). I plan to go to some consignment sales this spring & find something used for his first birthday.

Our house came with something similar to the one in your link. Unfortunately, I have no idea who made it. Obviously LO is too young for it but my nephew loved it when he visited.

Yeah, that's what I will be looking for.

So we have something like this already.




I like it because during the summer I can move it inside to something to do and not have to be roasting when it's 120.


I've been talking to H about getting DS1 a swing set like OP posted at some point. But they are so pricey!

[bennieangel]

Did you buy new or used? Will they be able to play with it for a while?

We bought that new for DS1 2nd Christmas. It's held up through him and still looks new.

 We usually go to the park. Toddler sized stuff is in our basement/play area. I didn't want a playground set in our yard. 

[disneyaddict1]

yalllow why not?

Firstly - it should be known I'm a little:



and in 13 years I can see this:





but in all honesty... we have a small lot and we park our camper in the winter in the back yard. It'd feel like this:

Awesome!

We got this set for DS1 last year:

It's a little more elaborate than what we were initially looking for but DH was really fussy about the aesthetics of what went into our backyard. I really love it. The pieces were all labeled well and the instructions were clear. DS1 plays on it all the time. We plan to buy a toddler swing so the babies can use it this summer too.

We can't afford to be picky. I have a whole wish list of stuff I want and a list of the stuff I actually get. I can't wait for my H to be done training so we aren't poor anymore!

Poor is my middle name.

We were actually given our playground set by our neighbor whose grandchildren grew out of it. I don't know the brand or anything...I would recommend something with adjustable swing heights though...ours is only designed for 1 chain length, and my 7year old SD is starting to get too tall for it :/
