[@He-Him373]

Exceptional work bud! Your daughter will cherish this forever.

[@onisiforosonisiforou]

Well done my friend , acts like this are a proof of the quality of the person / you are a very strong example how fathers and husbands should be !! i am sure by the time you uploaded this video you had a second child . However one thing is for sure . children that are born to parents like you they grow up happy , healthy in mind and become good members of the society !! Again well done !!

[@CHUKDEPHATTE]

you made an absolutely amazing play frame. one of the best videos on youtube.

[@jkp]

Wow, thanks!

[@shrimpinpat]

Gotta have playground envy tho with that castle back there! Wowzers! Great build I’m going to follow your concepts and do this for my daughter. The cheap playgrounds all look like they will fall apart in a year.

[@1966scoutcheif]

This is a very good idea I will be using Same design on the playground I am building right now for my grandchildren Thank you very much for this video and your design ideas big thanks from Apopka Florida 👍FINS UP 👍💪💯👋

[@1966scoutcheif]

Did you ever say what type of wood you used 🤔

[@jkp]

Hi- I don´t know exactly what type of wood but it is something like spruce or pine wood.

[@jakk-on8ns]

Excellent. Very well presented

[@christianmichels7105]

Wow, thanks for sharing your build! Very cool!

[@factorx1955]

Nice job. Hope I do mine soon for my grand children

[@jeffjohnstone4506]

Very inpresive doing on your own

[@colinobrien3394]

Great job, and proving you don't need any fancy expensive tools to do a great job. I will be making a similar one soon, the only difference I will make is that I will be digging holes and putting the posts into the ground. I plan on making the section above the slide into a sort of house with a roof though. Well done.

[@jkp]

Cool, thanks - Good luck.

[@angelrueda2848]

Very beautiful and nice i really like it and thank you for your sharing your talent

[@donnieray1734]

👍 nice

[@itsjustpractice]

My family is building this very soon! Love it! What kind of trees are those just behind the play structure (with the large leaves)?

[@jkp]

Hello. it is paulownia tree. This tree is fast growing with big leaves from the begining and later leaves will be smaller but tree should have nice flowers. There are few different kinds of paulownia so you can google it. Have a nice day.

[@mrfortycuarenta6160]

Awesome video man, good job.

[@Rebel1280]

Thanks so much for the very informative and motivating video! Going to try and build this for my soon to be 3 year old! Hello from South Carolina :)

[@thamarvaldespino1734]

Me gusto mucho y esta muy practico

[@jkp]

Thank you

[@ramanmonga3409]

Its looking good. How did you secure this structure with ground? Do we not need any anchors/cement etc? Will this survive wind gust? Thanks

[@jkp]

Hello. I didnt secure it to the ground. Structure is sitting only on metal plates and plates are there just to prevent from ground moisture to get into construction. Structure by itself is quite heavy and there is not any large area for wind to push. We had here few times wind gusts about 90 km/hour and it is not moving at all. I guess that maybe in areas with tornadoes and huricanes anchoring to the ground is necessary, but in my country we do not have wind stronger than 120km/hour. My friend was building something similar and he used earth screws which is also good because you can adjust height and it is literally screwed to the ground, but in my build I didnt use anything. If it is necessary probably depend on your location. Have a nice day.

[@lanky8804]

Very nice, just about to build mine

[@jkp]

Great. Thank you for comment and good luck with your build.

[@petrcikner3152]

Ahoj, pěkná práce 👍 Chystám se stavět něco podobného. Jak vysoko máš prosim tě ten trám na houpačky od země? Díky

[@jkp]

Zdravím Trám na houpačky mám 2,6 metra vysoko. 😊

[@drnsalameh]

Excellent work and inspiring. Is there any chance you can make a list of the materials and quantities you used please?

[@jkp]

Hello. I will do some quick list of material next week - I will let you know.

[@jkp]

Hello- some description is now under the video in the description. Have a nice day.

[@mamoonaimran9547]

Neat and clean work👍👍👍👍👍

[@jkp]

Thanks 👍

[@osg124]

I was looking for a playhouse from OBI but everything is so expensive 600€ for little houses. So thank you for the good idea!

[@osg124]

Also where is the circular swing from?

[@jkp]

@@osg124 Hello. I have wrote big swing in my language to the google and there was few options to buy in online shop in my country.

[@nikolicvladimir]

IT would be great to make a list of materials you used. Like at the beginning you said 10x10cm, but would be great to know the other materials too. Fantastic job, respect!

[@jkp]

Hello. I will do some quick list of material next week - I will let you know.

[@jkp]

Hello- some description is now under the video in the description. Have a nice day.

[@JaredAlexanderStevenson]

What did you use for Net climbing wall?

[@jkp]

Hi. I used a cargo lashing strap which is a heavy-duty strap used to secure cargo during transport. I don´t know how it is exactly called in english, just put to google cargo lashing strap or cargo ratchet strap. They are available in hardware stores.

[@JaredAlexanderStevenson]

@@jkp thank you

[@michaellopez-nh9yo]

How long and what sizes are the supports to make it less wabbley?

[@jkp]

Hello. I think supports are about 40centimeters long cutted to the angle. I didn´t want them to be too long as kids would hit them with heads so I did them this small. They are from leftover pieces of 8x8cm = 3,14x3,14inch. Basically it doesn't matter too much on size because even 5x5 centimeters thick supports would be enough. Important is that you need some sort of supports and more supports = better. My friend created something similar an he was using for swing A structure thick wooden boards of 4x12cm and for supports used whatever he has left. Just depend what material you have in your country and what is better for your availability of materials. Have a nice day.

[@UGCshakinahstouch]

YAAAAAAAAA

[@costinmanga9684]

It is interesting that you did not have to dig any holes

[@jkp]

Hi. No I didn´t dig anything. It is sitting by its own weight on the lawn and steel plates with benden corners are just to prevent from water going to the costruction from the ground. It is quite heavy and because there is no any roof or bigger area for wind to push it- it is fine. We do not have any tornadoes here and max speed of wind during storm is about 100km/h so this kind of wind is not strong enough to blow it away. Have a nice day.

[@RonaldBVega]

Hello sir, I have a quick question. I too have the same idea but im afraid the wood may tend to warp over time. Have you experienced this issue? thanks

[@jkp]

Hello. Of course wood is natural material and it can bend and twist over time- but it is simply character of natural material. I focus on good quality oil based coating which can penetrate into the wood so it will protect structure from rain.... . I am going to coat it every year to make sure that this playground can survive at least 10 years outside an I am quite confident that it will be ok. If there will be some problem - I will repair it as soon as possible and if there will be problem with main beam for swings- I can simply replace it with new one. So simply said- I am not worried about any problems, because if there will be some problem- I will simply replace or repair what is needed. Have a nice day.

[@toigalbg]

Hello. Can you give an exactly wood needed if you have it? Thank you

[@jkp]

Hello. I don´t have exact list of material- anyway you can read description under video to see some of used material. Have a nice day.

[@juanr.3314]

What type of oil did you usted ?

[@jkp]

Hello. It is oil for wood which will penetrate and than dry so it is not oily afterwards. I wanted oil because I think that it will be better for long time protection ang hopefully it will not peel off the wood in future. I can send here link but it is in Czech language. Basically you can go to your local hardware shop and ask for oil for wood. Something similar is TEAK OIL, but teak oil is too expensive for me. here is the link www.hornbach.cz/shop/Olej-na-drevo-Hornbach-750-ml-modrin/5509665/artikl.html

650 not bad regular place will charge u 3k easy

[@RIJSA]

Price?

[@jkp]

Hello. 640 USD at the time of making this playground including almost everything. Have a nice day.

[@RIJSA]

@@jkp thanks for the info!

[@Samseeker74]

Screws shear … nails is better … that’s why roof carpenters use nail gun

[@jkp]

Hello- It depends. I think that for standard people without air nail gun are screws much better because after using screws your joints are much more stable and screws are not going to unscrew themselves. Joints with nails are worst because when are children playing there is lots of movement of construction and nails are simply not going to hold the joints together. On the other side- if you are going to make roof- nails are good because there is almost no movement and with air gun it is much faster to shoot nails and also on the roof there are needed a lots of nails so they are cheaper. You can´t compare roof and playground and if you were working with nails and screws you will clearly see the difference. Thank you for your comment and have a nice day.
