7 Wooden Swing Sets Under $500 Review
Searching for a wooden swing set for under $500 is not easy but here you will find on this single page seven wooden swing sets under $500 from the major US brands such as Big Backyard, Adventure Playsets, Swing n Slide,
Based on price alone the cheapest models look to be a great deal but upon closer inspection I find this in the product description and I quote “Kit does not include lumber. Lumber must be purchased seperately” so in reality one would be buying only the hardware…not so great a deal after all! Another factor is the children’s age or weight limit which may preclude the cheaper model from being an economic or a sensible purchase! I know you would want some longevity from your purchase!
The Flexible Flyer Swing n Glide 3 Swing Set is currently sold by Amazon.com for $144.04 with Free Super Saver Shipping which makes it a bargain but Ground Anchors are recommended for the metal frame currently at $14.27 Total $158.31
The suggested age range is two to ten years old with a total weight limit of 525lbs (Swing seat maximum weight 105lbs) for a maximum of 5 players. To read more about the specification and customer reviews visit the Flexible Flyer product page Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Set with Plays
Do it Yourself (DIY) Wooden Swing Sets
Without The Lumber!
The Champion XP Playset by Playstar is a real wooden construction costing $202.35 plus $22.42 with shipping . The lumber is sold separately according to the product description but fortunately it comes with complete illustrated instructions!
So in reality one is buying a hardware kit which is well specified with four design options. Designed for children 2-10 years old it has activities for 9-10 players. If one is a handy man or woman who likes the challenge of a project needing lumber sourced locally and cut to size and a big box of hardware (33lbs) then go for it! Champion XP Playset
The Swing n Slide Titam Swing Set Kit costs $299.99 plus $27.37 with shipping, Total $327.36 but, you guessed right! Kit does not include lumber. Lumber must be purchased seperately So if you can get the lumber locally yourself for less than $172.64 then you will be within your under $500 budget.
On further scrutiny I see that the wave slide is also an extra despite the design accommodating either an 8ft or 10ft coolwave slide! Oh, the 3 in 1 glider is also an extra Swing-N-Slide Titam Swing Set Kit (NE4890)
Wooden Swing Sets Under $500 Including Lumber!
