DIY Outdoor Playset with Two Levels, Tarp Roof, Twisty Slide, Rock Wall, and Swings

Our neighbors decided that they wanted to build a backyard DIY playset for their kids. They sourced the hardware, and got the plans from here:
diy-builds.com/diy-playset-plans/
And we helped them put it up! All in all, the project went a lot quicker than I anticipated...

Counter sinking does two things. One is cosmetics. Looks more custom/pro job. Second your child doesn’t constantly snag clothes or skin on exposed bolts. Looks great btw.

LOL so true! And thank you!

[@leeadkins8968]

Where can I find the plans for this? This is pretty awesome

[@rolltidemama7597]

Would love to know where you purchased the plans for this awesome playground?

[@bambatsa1310]

Hi. Love the build. I know it has been a long time but could you please tell me the amount of lumber used?Thanks

[@johndill7380]

That link took me to one of those scam pages about winning something

[@ananieto7181]

Same here 😒

[@pardee4onepardee4one55]

How much did this all cost

[@rooster13436]

I would like to build this. Where did you get the plans from?

[@hkdhrn]

Was the whole system anchored in the ground?

[@kissimmeebarcelona]

Did you use treated lumber? How did it work out for ya?

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

After looking at the cost of swings, slides, etc I think its actually cheaper to buy a cedar kit.

[@mattwal43]

Hi, does anyone have the plans for this? or a completed one that you can take a picture of from all sides with something we can interpolate the size from? Would be willing to recompense you for your effort. Thanks

[@1diyproject]

That link does not work and I don’t see anything on the website to buy the package.

[@d-key1282]

What kind of tarp did you use

[@mattgrimmett6067]

Maybe link the kit?

[@mikeslyla]

I’m interested in the plans but company is sold out until next year. Anyone know where I can source just the plans?

[@JoshMG]

Can I ask where you bought the plans from? I’d love to do this for my daughters 2 yr birthday party next week. The only thing that looks weird to me is the board that goes across at the top of the steps. It seems like it’s too low... could just be me, though! Great job!

[@diybuild]

Hi Josh! We got them from here: diy-builds.com/diy-playset-plans/ . The swingsetmall. They've got tons of kits and plans. I thought that board was also weird but I assume that it was there to dissuade adults from getting up there. Thanks for the comment BTW!

[@leeadkins8968]

DIYbuilds I tried clicking on the link and nothing shows up

[@juliomartinez3994]

Same here link is No Good smh

[@kennethl5886]

Great job. Looks like the website where you bought the plans expired last week. Was going to take a look. Just curious if you'd share your approximate cost of materials to build? And about how long it took you?

[@hannamyers3503]

We built a similar set. We're still finishing it up. The lumber(ground contact pressure treated) $300-$400. The 7' tube slide is around $600. We got one used for $200. The smaller slide will run $100-$200. Might be able to find one cheap used. Amazon has safety handles priced at $7 for a set. Screws and bolts were around $80 for all. Swings are around $20 each if you get them new. Working on our for 8 hours a day it's been about 3 full days of working on it and it's almost done. You save A LOT building it yourself. A similar build people charge $3,000. We're about $750 in total right now and you feel good knowing you built it when you do it yourself. It would've been done sooner but we miscalculated our lumber and hardware. We had to go back to the store a few times.

[@sarahandriaccio7516]

Good evening. With so many manufacturers out of stock with back yard playsets I'm really hoping to find a set like this. Could you please provide a source to purchase this build set.

[@jilliannitz1884]

Not the poster, but this supplier is out off stock as well. There is a link but they are out of everything.

[@starrstroh3578]

I purchased some excellent plans from the woodprix website.

[@srooster4410]

bought this exact kit.. lord willing the price of lumber ever goes back down i might be able to build it someday.

[@alextopiler1065]

Where did you get the kit?
