Revamp your backyard into an epic playground fiesta with three distinct style options tailored to fit your family's grand outdoor adventures. The Woodland Cross Swingset Plan is everything kids love about a traditional playground, with 7' elevated decks, charming gable roofs, plenty of places to crawl and climb, plus a swingset extension ready for action. Kid's won't be able to get enough!
Choose the Basecamp for its cozy front porch, petite awning, built-in benches, and five different ways to reach the upper level. The Annex features a handsome dual-gable design, split-level decks, six access points, and an open area underneath that’s perfect for a sandbox. For families who believe more adventure is always better, the Pinecone Pass brings both structures together with a connecting bridge and a gang plank for an extra dose of backyard excitement. Three great designs, each with its own personality, all ready to become the neighborhood's favorite hangout!
Built with DIY strength and versatility in mind, these wooden swingsets offer a substantial upgrade from typical store bought playsets. Each design features an attached swingset, standard elevated deck heights ready for residential playground accessories, and plenty of room for slides, climbing walls, ladders, and other playful additions. With generous layouts, they’re a fantastic fit for families with big backyards, schools, churches, and anywhere kids need room to let loose. Customize your creation, round up the little adventurers, and get ready for a backyard attraction that keeps the fun going season after season!
