Kid's Outdoor Playsets

Choosing Wooden Play Equipment and Forts

If you're considering buying your kids an outdoor playset, then you've got some big choices to make! There are loads of outdoor wooden playsets to choose from and here are the main criteria-

  • Trying to get what your kids actually want on the playset- fort, climbing wall, slide etc. Don't stress about this- many playsets can be added to over time.

  • Selecting the timber/wood for your play equipment

    -Pine is the cheapest but does require ongoing maintenance
    See the price points below
    - $400-$700
    - $800-$1200
    - $1300+

    All of the listed playsets below include- same day shipping, and ALL items are in stock. So whichever item you choose, it will be on its way to you by the end of the day!

    -Cedar is a good mid-range option, the timber is naturally hard wearing and splinter free

    -Redwood is the most expensive option but also the longest lasting.

  • Keeping everything within your budget! Believe me, this is the hardest criteria to meet!
