Does anyone have a wonderful outdoor playset? We are going to get one for the kids for their b-days (my oldest still loves to play on these lol). I don't know what brand to go with.

We are looking to spend between $500-$800 or so. I want to make sure we are getting a really good quality product for that much money. I saw some out at Lowe's but it seemed kind of complicated (you had to buy a playhouse tower thingy then add on everything else??).

What do you all have? Where did you get it? Thanks.

We got ours on clearance (yeah!!) from Lowes. The set included everything and was pre-cut. It was very easy to put together (we are NOT construction inclined) and the kids love it.

Back at our farm, we had a really heavy-duty one we bought at Menard's. It was a behemoth and took 2 weeks to build by someone with experience. It stayed there when we left. HTH

we bought one at Sam's club about 3 years ago. it was in the 900.00 range. (I think they only offer one per season) Dh wsa able to put it together in mostly one long day, and it is quite sturdy and is holding up well.

Our Sams Club set is wonderful and holding up well also. It was around $800. We bought it 3 years ago. I have stained it twice. It was a bummer to have to do after the first season but now the kids help and it is fun :)   Though, we cheated this year and only did the areas that needed it-shhhhh!
