Wooden Swing Set – Construction Begins

By Todd Fratzel on Product Reviews

Tonight I started working on our kids new swing set. The instruction manual says it will take two moderately skilled people 20 to 24 hours. So if I do all the work myself that should be about 40 to 48 hours of labor.

Tonight I managed to get the base frame put together in about 1 hour. My 3 year old helped so maybe we can “deduct” a few minutes that I had to chase him around the yard for parts.

So far the directions are great, the materials are in very good condition and I must say I’m very pleased with the purchase. I had my doubts especially when I ordered it online through Ebay but so far so good. I hope to so quite a few posts following the progress and my overall opinion of this project and product. Stay tuned for more….
