Description Oakmont All Cedar Swing Set by Backyard Discovery
The Oakmont has some really neat features that make it great for smaller yards but keep the kids playing all day long. First, the raised fort has a colorful awning and front wall with a white trimmed window to make a cool clubhouse-like area up top. Down below there is another fort, with a front wall, window, and real door! And the side snack window has a built-in bench just outside. Out on the swing beam, there are two belt swings and an acrobat bar for plenty of swinging and clowning around. A standard step ladder gets the kids to the upper fort and their 8' speedy slide zips them back down again.

We love this swing set! Really easy to put together. Great quality. Took about 5 hours to put up. Looks beautiful!! Highly recommend this for the price!
I was a little overwhelmed at first but after I actually got into the box, started to separate and identify the parts it went together very easily. I'm a 56 year old grandpa with pretty good mechanical skills and it probably didn't take me more than 12 hours (by myself) to completely finish the project. I built the majority of everything in my garage and only had to enlist the help of my son when we carried it out to the backyard for final placement and to attach the swing portion. Parts were well marked and really only have a couple of suggestions on using different hardware in certain areas to help protect against splitting the wood, and pre drilling some holes to help as well.
Received within a couple days from order Date and they called us to make sure we were home and came within the hour to drop off in our garage. Took my husband almost 10 Hours to put together but he had no help so it probably took longer than most since he did it alone. My 2 and 4 year old LOVE it and it's the perfect size for them. Pieces are quality and would definitely recommend.
Love it! Took 2 days during the weekend to assemble. 2 hours one day 7 hours the next. Would definitely recommend very sturdy and directions are easy if you download the Built App.
It took about a week to put together by myself, only having a few hours each day to assemble it, so if you had two people working on it you could probably finish it within 8 hours or two days max. The wood itself is not super thick but it’s not flimsy either. It does creek a lot when the kids play on it so that’s kind of discomforting but otherwise it’s not a bad play-set for the price. Don’t expect to get thick oak wood because you won’t, but you will get wood that is pretreated, holds well with 3 kids playing on it (2 year old, 4 year old, and 3 year old). The swing-set is also durable and hasn’t had any issues. My only complaint with this set would be the door and the lack of sanding. The door is an issue because you can’t attach the plastic hinge completely to the playhouse otherwise the door won’t shut and it starts to rip the nails out if you try. So you’re left with the door hinge (on the inside of the door) having nails that are not completely drilled into the wood. The lack of sanding is an issue because some of the wood will rip easily and stand up, and since I do not want to deal with splinters, it provides another step that can be potentially lengthy. All in all, it’s a great play-set, it really is. Especially for the price, it’s a great starter set. The entire play-set is probably 25 feet long and about 4 feet wide, if not a little more. It has plenty of room for more than 3 kids. ofsandingdone.
