Half way through my build (about to start the roof). Spending 2 hours putting everything in alpha-numeric order has been a real time save, thanks for the tip. My only other tip is have it all laid out near to where you are building, my garage is a 100ft from build and I’ve walked a marathon !

My garage was about 75 feet away. You are 100% correct 😂

Can you move the ladder to the other side where the monkey bars are? Beautiful job!
@SolidGroundStaging4 жыл бұрын
Thank you. You should be able to. You would just have to drill a few holes and possibly use different hardware.

I build these for a livin. It takes me about 14-15 hours. It's a pain though. Also here (Melbourne Aus.) the slide comes in pieces... I find it easier to build the crows nest on the ground. Harder to lift ,but maybe it is worth it.
@SolidGroundStaging4 жыл бұрын
I agree 100%. We just moved it to our new house and it wasn’t too terrible to put the crows nest back up and would have been much easier to have built on the ground.

Thanks. Will give it a shot once I can get a helper. It’s the only thing I have left! Also, the slide was quite the puzzle to put together but we used longer bolts to hold the rods in place while we flipped it and worked it into the groove.

Myself and one other guy set up a stage in 20 minutes that is supposed to take three people two hours all the time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZmUiKGJlsiYhrc I’m not sure if it was exactly 16 but it was very close. There is a video of a guy on here building it solo in what looks like less than 8 hours based off the sun. Looks like he had prebuilt the rock wall and crows nest. Wish I would have seen his video before doing this. Also wish I would have stained it first. That took forever.
