I bought this KidKraft playset / swing set from COSTCO almost 4 years ago. Lets take a look at how well it is holding up and why I will never buy from this brand ever again. Keep in mind this is just my experience and this many not be the case for all consumers looking for support.

I wish they still had this one. I bought one for the kids and they loved it, left it at the old house when we moved.

@northadore Месяц назад

In hindsight, what do you recommend for a foundation to prevent premature rotting?

@k6outdoors Месяц назад

There are likely several different options but concrete seems like it would be best fitted. Although it seems like a ton of added expense. It's unfortunate the materials used don't seem fit for ground contact applications. Thanks for stopping in!

@matopezuta2050 3 месяца назад

Wonder if they get their wood from Menards? I bought "landscape timbers" from Menards 3 years ago to redo a retaining wall. Last summer I seen the boards were already rotting, in fact one that is above the level of the dirt has completely rotted and is crumbling. I would think landscape timbers should be good for ground contact. Wish I could find some old school treated lumber that might be toxic but, at least last for more than a couple years. Good thing you went with their plastic lumber to do the retaining wall around your shed.

@k6outdoors 3 месяца назад

Somethings definitely are not as good as the used to be! The playset is made in China so there is a good chance that is part of the problem. I bought some landscape timbers from menards a few years ago and I agree, not what you expect for what they cost!

@matopezuta2050 3 месяца назад

@@k6outdoorsYep, If you buy landscape timbers from Menards also make sure you use them fairly quick. Had one that didn't get used and when I went to get it to replace the one that rotted. It was so warped there was no way to ever get it put in place.

@@k6outdoors Landscape timbers, regardless of source, are not pressure treated. Still, the idea about using pressure treated lumber as a base with decking atop is why your post is beneficial. Thanks.

I do want to highlight that on this specific playset the main structure is 1 large assembled unit from the factory. Not that it makes it impossible, but its more difficult to replace the bottom boards

Get what you pay for. A real play set cost 5k + . I’m building one of these as I’m typing this and I can tell it’s a economic solution to a play set. But by the time it breaks down my daughter will be too big for it

@k6outdoors Месяц назад

I get it but at the same time don't offer a warranty if your not going to support it, that's my main gripe with this situation. Thanks for stopping in and happy assembling!

@1GiPhoner Месяц назад

How much warranty was included with the set?

@k6outdoors Месяц назад

5-year structural warranty, everything else 1 year.

For mine, I i built a pressure treated four by four rectangular frame and put deck boards on top. I put the frame in ground bc it is rated for ground contact. These big box cedar sets are NOT rated for ground contact and WILL ROT. I inly know this bc i was gifted a similar set that was just sitting on the owners grass lawn for years and it was rotted terribly.

@k6outdoors 2 месяца назад

Definitely makes sense why you did what you did. Unfortunately, the manufacturer doesn't realize this and provide better installation guidance. Thanks for sharing and stopping in!
