O'Connor Swing-Set Plan・3-Sizes

Swing into action with the O'Connor Swing-Set Plan, available in three sizes to fit any backyard. Choose from either standard platforms (5-foot or 7-foot deck height) or go deluxe with a bridge connection between two platforms and room for more adventure. Each version features a gabled roof to keep out sun or rain, sturdy decks, and open play space that accommodates many children at once. This swingset is ideal for active families looking to build something fun and durable that will last as long as the kids do.

The deluxe version takes surprises further with an extra platform connected via a bridge, creating exciting opportunities for slides, cargo climbs, rock walls, ladders, and even a sandbox below. Multiple entrances and exits keep the play dynamic, while the full swing beam invites up to three swings or accessories. Whether it’s one platform or two linked by a bridge, the O'Connor delivers lots of play potential in a straightforward, budget-conscious design that builds with confidence.
