My younger two children would LOVE a climbing/swing set for our small back yard - are there any that hold more than a bigger weight limit? My 13 yo son is over 100 lbs (not by much - he's a beanpole!) but I know most I've seen have a 100lb weight limit.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I would think that one of those wooden swings sets should be fine. My dh built one from a kit from Home Depot and we all played on it. (I'm thinking I probably weigh more than your ds. )

Cedar Works is a great set that can handle many, many children at once. We've had over 20 kids playing on ours. It's pricy though (thank goodness for general MILs).

We got our playground at http://www.componentplaygrounds.com/
We have been very satisfied with it and the company. There is no real weight limit on the swingset. Dh and I get to play and swing too without any difficulty.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help if I can.

God bless,
Christine
