   I was really inpressed with the workmanship of this swingset. Not an easy task to assemble but all parts were there and fit  good. Instruction were very good and only came in english.  Kit was manufacture in Arkansas. The granddaughter was checking it out as we were building it for two days.  http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=2&item=425046

Nice.
Nothing like a good swing set. My neighbors had some of the tube frame yard swing sets when I was a kid. That was fun. Dad built me a complete frame. He started with four 4x6s in the ground for posts, and a top rail to hang swings and things off of. He did build a platform with a bar ladder going up and a rope ladder coming down (he made both). He picked up a set of rings and a couple store bought swings to hang on it. Then he just tied a rope around the top to dangle and told me I could figure out ofr myself what to do with it.   
Nothing like a good yard swing to climb and play on.
When the neighbors tube frame bit the dust Dad salvaged their metal slide (half rusted) and put it on one side. Man I was in heaven then!
I had lots of good times on that swingset.
There is nothing like a good swingset.

I think, or maybe hope, that my grandson is a little young for one of those right now but probably next year they will get hime one. With the Son-in-law's job keeping him on the road 5 days a week me thinks the daughter will call up and say .... "You did such a great job putting one together for me when I was 5 ... how about helping out and and putting one together for Erik?" And when she puts it that ... who could say no .... especially a cute little guy like this.



Otherwise he may haul my A$$ off to the Big House!
