Hey Guys, This week I built a play set for my kids.
My Brothers Kids out grew there play set, so my brother gave it to my kids. some of the wood was rotten so I decided to build an entire new structure and use some of the parts from the old one, Like the ladder, slide, X&O game, etc.
Please give this video a like and subscribe to my channel. Like always, we will see you in the next video.

Thanks. I worked hard for this. best tip I can give. Don't waste money on college, Pick up a trade and get good at it. also, find what people don't like doing and do it and charge a lot for it. works for me.

Hi Wes thank you for sharing this lovely video which you’ve made a hard job look very easy! You’ve inspired me to replicate your model for my own children in our house in the UK. I was wondering if it was possible for you to list the material used and measurements! A big ask I know but would really appreciate it and I’ll post you my final completed piece. Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

I'm thinking about building one for my kids. My wife showed me a big one at Best Buy and I really am not interested I'm paying $1500 for one. I told her even with the material cost the way it is I believe I could build one cheaper than that. I like woodworking I'm just not sure if I could but I would like to give it a shot. I've been anxious to build something lately anyway.

This playground looks pretty awesome and design is quite affordable DIY! I saw many comments asking for measurements but I could not find if you shared it somewhere. At least some rough sketches? Also, what are the bolts you used with hammering into the wood nut? Where can I get it in Canada? Would appreciate the info, with all COVID lockdowns we just have no choice but build our own playgrounds :/

@kennethl5886 4 жыл бұрын

www.jacksfurnitureplans.com/ $1.95 for his playground plans. I'm in the middle of building his playground set now and the plans are perfect and nearly free. A little bigger (so more expensive) than this but it's a great build and only a couple tricky parts. I spent around $600 in lumber but got all the accessories for free but taking down an old beat up set for someone.

@hannamyers3503 4 жыл бұрын

I saw in another comment $500 for lumber. We're building a swingset twice this size and the lumber for all the ground contact pressure treated wood is about $250-$300(home Depot). A box of 25 4" bolts is about $35. Accessories are about $20 each. I got a pack of monkey bars on Amazon for about $20, a pack of 10 rock wall plastic climbing rocks on Amazon for $20. Grab bars were $7 on Amazon. A swingset tarp on Amazon was about $30. We got swings and one slide free from a neighbor and bought a 7 foot tube slide used for $200. Way cheaper than swingset stores charge. Most seem to want at least $1,000 for a set that might have cost $200-$300 to make.

Honestly $1500 is a good deal. Once you start adding up the cost of the slide, swings, all the hardware you will be paying more. At least in Canada where I live.
