Do not consider this blog post an endorsement as its just a site I found online randomly. I don’t know much about this site actually nothing. This site has other more cost effective swing-sets as well, as in under $750, but if you have been searching for something special you already realize that these swing-sets are usually above $2K-$4K. I also see some Rainbow swingsets discounted on their page! The above sets can be found on amazon and many with free shipping! This information below is part of an old site that used to sell discount playsets. Or Holy Moly, this Backyard Skyfort, a perfect size for most yards with LOTS of cool stuff, under $1500 and free shipping! While its nice, its not nearly as fun as some of these look.Ĭheck out this Mountaineer, also from Gorilla Playsets, under $2000: To give you some perspective, I paid $1000 + Tax for the one I bought and it has three levels, a rockwall, 2 swings, a slide, and a teeter totter. Had I found this Gorilla Pioneer Peak swingset deal before I purchased, I would have bought this instead. While I ended up purchasing from Sams Club, I did want to share a site that is having a sale from now till June 7th with some pretty much incredible discount deals for swingsets. I was even willing to settle on a used one from Craigslist to get what I wanted with the price I was willing to pay. I pretty much hit every website online, went to Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Sams Club, Toys R Us. When I was looking for a swing set, I looked high, low and all over. Scroll below to see our 2017 choices or read swing set buying tips here. The site listed has since closed, so the links have been updated with other great deals on these playsets, although not all may match original information in the article. All in all we probably went through about 4 1/2 cans of stain.The discount playset information below was originally published in 2010. The boards just drank it in and we ended up applying a second coat the next day. ![]() Once we applied a coat of stain to the entire playset we allowed it to dry overnight. Since we were working with cedar wood we selected a redwood stain color to match. Step 3: FinishĪfter sanding the boards we started to finish them using exterior deck stain we purchased from Sherwin Williams. Word of advice, don’t let this happen to you. It diminishes the quality in the woodwork and the life of your playset won’t last as long. We made sure to sand down deep down so that the boards were really smooth. The boards we had were pretty beaten up because they sat under the sprinkler system that pounded on the playset non-stop. We started by using just plain sand paper and quickly realized we would need something with more power. Once the boards are dry you can sand them down with a hand held sander. You want to make sure to get most of the paint off to make sanding easier. ![]() Start by using a pressure wash to strip the paint off the boards. Now when I look at this playset I can admire all our hard work. It took us about 3 days straight of stripping paint, sanding and staining but it was well worth the effort. Oh how I wish I would have saved a “before” photo so you could see how much it’s changed. ![]() It was however painted brick red and much of the paint was wasting away. We were able to purchase this used Rainbow Playset for a heck of a deal. ![]() We are so excited to have this new addition to our house! It took a ton of sweat equity and a whole lot of love to bring this baby back to life.
