If you wanted one of the best examples of a cool playset, this my friends is it. Our wooden, 13x23 Monster Truck playset plan is the perfect design for kids who love big trucks and pretend that nothing can get in their way.
The Monster Truck playset is an expanded version of our Rad Off-Roader design. Completely towering over those other small, painfully pathetic things you get at Wal-mart, this 4x4 behemoth will crush the competition and any other collateral if they're foolish enough to encroach upon this majesty.
Lots of little details in this plan really add to the realism and joy that kids can get out of this design. The engine compartment is also open for kids to crawl into and play in as well. Plan details include a trap door, room for a 6' high slide, seats, pedals and other cool truck details. The only downside is that it gets approximately 0 mpg.
