Timelapse of me building a new playhouse for the family, with the help of my son and wife.
Originally we were going to get a Spimbey, but the shipping was taking forever and the reviews were even worse. I listened to my wife and we cancelled, opting for the Costco deal instead. She was right and the kids love it as you can see in the Timelapse. My goal was to do it in 8 hours cutting the estimated build time in half. I got close but only able to do it in 10 hours.
It was tough at times, but honestly once you start projects like this it can be a fun experience.
Technically this is outside so it fits the channel ;).
I can't speak to SPIMBEY's quality, only our experience. Surprise it wasn't great, but they gave us a full refund so no harm done.

That was pretty good to know you can easily switch the straight slide to the other side. By default, both of the slides end up going to the same side (where the fence is in your video). Being able to swap it means I can rotate the entire thing to have the swing-set on the side closer to the house and even maybe use the straight slide to go into a pool or something in the open area for this summer. Thanks for the tip! Also even though your grass has some brown spots, I'm jealous of how soft it looks. My grass here in central texas is just clumps of weeds. Even though we put grass seed, it still turns back to dirt eventually. Thinking about tilling the entire backyard to start over and spread lots of grass seed mixed into the dirt (not just on top)

We got new puppies just before winter last year, I am in North Texas and between them and the snow the lawn is nothing like it was in this video sadly. If you can I would look into Zoysia grass and see if it works in your area. That is the grass in the video, the best description I have for it would be a cross between st. Augustine and Bermuda. It also does reasonably well in the shade. To combat the winter this year I think I am going to overseed with Kentucky bluegrass. The main issue I ran into was the puppies playing in the yard (which is what they do...) and all the rainfall/snow we had that just created a mud-pit. When the zoysia is in season it chokes out all the weeds, it was really nice at the peak. Hope that helps and glad you liked the video!

I just bought a similar set from Costco, and was searching for helpful tips from previous owners. and guess what this's the only and the best! Good job!

Of course! I would say what helped me the most was laying it out, setting up a card table for all the hardware (there was a lot), and trying to knock it out in 2 days. Trying to come back to this after a few days or week later to pick back up would be a pain. Good luck and thanks for watching!

I've been working on this on and off for about 4 days now, maybe a total of 10 hours. I'm only at the part where the two main towers are built and you hang the bridge between them. There's still so much more to go. But it's been me and only me. The road forward will be an interesting one...

Awesome build. Just got myself one to set up. Looks like a pretty epic play set. Curious how tall would you say the catwalk is off the ground? The wife and I are having a discussion of whether it needs to have a softer landing for if they fall sort of thing. What's your experience with this set like?
@bashoutdoors
@bashoutdoors 2 года назад
Glad you enjoyed it! To answer your question the catwalk (bridge) sits about 41" off the ground and the floor where the fire pole is at 47-48". As far as the softer landing goes, our 4 year old has no issues doing the fire pole etc. Our 2 year old is very cautious on the bridge as it moves so she goes slow on it. So in our experience there have been zero issues. The other factor is that they are not overly adventurous so we luckily haven't had to worry as much. Knock on wood, hopefully that answers your question. For reference my wife is the cautious one and she loves this thing.

Hey, what would you say the distance between the center beam for the swing and the fence is? I bought the same one, and am trying to figure out spacing. Thanks for the great setup video
@bashoutdoors
@bashoutdoors 2 года назад
Sorry for the delayed response. The distance I have from the center beam to the fence is 10', the bottom of the swing will go back 5'. I would say you need a min. of 8' between the beam and the fence to comfortably push a child in the swing. If you can do 10' that is better though as then someone can easily walk behind without getting hit. Thanks for watching!

How is the playset holding up? Ive read some reviews that they dont last.
@bashoutdoors
@bashoutdoors Год назад
It's holding up better than I had imagined. My hope is that it lasts 3-4 years. I am in North Texas, so I assume it is relative to the climate it is in. The only issues I have had are a board on the little table splintered and the plastic stuff is well plastic. I would suggest drilling a hole or 2 in the little sink to let rain water just drain out. The stain on the wood has held up surprisingly nice. Hope that helps.

Where did you find the bucket infant swing? Just ordered this set and also need a bucket swing like your blue one.

@bashoutdoors Год назад
Wife bought it off of amazon. The one we bought is super cheap right now, but they only have 1 pink left so if you have a girl great. Its on Amazon - if you search "joymor toddler swing extra long chain" it should pop up. It's $41.99 vs $57-$70 ones, otherwise search "Toddler swing bucket seat". You can also buy one without the chains etc. if that will save you money as you can re-use the ones that come with it. That's a lot of info, but I wanted to let you know you have options. Hope that helps!

The KidKraft swing set broke under a year. I contacted customer service and sent all required paperwork and photos and haven't heard back from "Sarah". It started falling apart 6 months after I bought it then completely at 10 months. My daughter was swinging on it and it cracked and off she flew. Terrible customer service. I will not be letting this go simply because the children don't need to be hurt. If they cared they would have contacted me back!

Sorry to hear that, sadly that is most customer service now days and things just are not built to last anymore. I hope your daughter is ok and I hope KidKraft comes through for you!
