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!

You may be prepared to buy your lumber locally and stay within your budget of $500 but if not I suggest looking at the Parkside Wooden Swing Set available from both Amazon.com and WillyGoat Inc. It comes complete with lumber and all the necessary hardware. Both suppliers are currently selling at the same price of $299.99 but shipping is extra with Amazon.Com it’s $189.47 so the total cost is $489.47  Parkside Wooden Swing Set from Amazon.com

Shipping costs are added to WillyGoat Inc prices at checkout but at least you can get a price based on your ZIP code depending on where you live Parkside Wood Swing Set from WillyGoat

Andorra Wooden Swing Set by Big Backyard is the same unit price at $348.99 but the shipping costs differ. Amazon.com charges $193.96 making a total $542.95 and WillyGoat Inc charge an estimated $142.75 making a total of $491.74 just under $500!
