Backyard Discovery Endeavor Cedar Wood Swing Set Playset

We ordered this for our grandkids after doing tons of research on the best brands and types of playsets. So far we are extremely pleased with this set. We followed the advice of several reviewers and opened the boxes and organized all of the lumber by item number prior to starting. We set up a table in the garage to lay out the hardware on. We found the instructions easy to follow- just make sure you understand the next step before you start and stay organized. It took 2 of us about a week to complete it- just being able to work a couple of hours here and there.
The set looks attractive in our yard it gets played on practically every day. We have had zero concerns with sturdiness so far, even with 4 kids on it. Hopefully with proper maintenance it will last many years!

I was very skeptical about ordering from Amazon, as you know Amazon can be hit or miss on quality.

Ordered came within 2 weeks. After opening package the wood felt very thin and lightweight, thought about returning it. But decided to build it and I am glad I did! Once all screwed and bolted together it really strengthens up a lot and is very sturdy , I’m 300lbs and I am able to walk up the steps and play on top just fine. Instructions were very good compared to others I have used. Plenty of screws, lots of extra hardware. Took me about 13 hours to assemble by myself including unboxing and laying all the hardware out.

Assembly tips:
Pay close attention to the pictures and read all instructions on the page, including the hints. Leave the pieces in the shipping box until instructions ask for it. I also recommend checking off each piece used from the packing list in each box.

If hesitant about buying, don’t be, it’s worth it.

If this fits your budget, your kids will love it! I did a lot of research before I purchased this one and the value for the money is unmatched. Five stars across the board!!

First, the instructions were incredibly easy to follow step by step. Read the tips, those come in handy. My wife and I matched all the boards and lined them up. This saved so much time!! I would be working one step and she went a step ahead a got all the wood and hardware ready for the next step. We put this together in less than 10 hours. Incredibly sturdy, looks amazing and our little boy loved it when he saw it. It’s not huge so fit in our backyard perfectly.
Hope this helps someone else because I read multiple reviews for other products before making this one the choice. We couldn’t be happier with this play-set!!!!

We could not be happier with the Backyard Discovery Endeavor playset! The ladder, rope wall, rope ladder with bell, rock wall, 40” web swing, two swings, slide, and telescope keep our kids (ages 5.5 and 3) entertained for hours! They play hard AND sleep hard these days!

We unpacked the 3 large boxes and slide the night before we started the building process and organized all of the labeled lumber alphabetically by part numbers. We also reviewed the instructions the night before.

During the building phase, we used the BILT app’s interactive instructions and also followed along on the paper manual instructions. I stayed 1-3 steps ahead of what step my husband was working on and used the paper instructions to lay out the lumber, bolts, washers, screws, etc. that would be needed next so that we could fly through the steps.

It took my husband and I 9.5 hours of building time on day 1, and then we picked back up with the roof installation and the rest of the steps on day 2, which took 4 hours. I especially found it helpful to read each of the next steps at the end of day 1 and prepare screws, bolts, washers, and nuts by finding the specific part numbers for each step and labeling them in bags so we knew which bags of parts we would need for each of the final steps. I also put together the 3 swings so that we could easily hang them up when we got to those steps. That said, you could also do all of that prior to day 1 and probably finish the building process in one day (weather permitting). For us, all of that preparation easily saved us 3+ hours on day 2.

After 2 days and 13.5 total hours of building, we couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product!
