About Otterworks USAThe true essence of Otterworks is making former dreams and memories into a re-purposed functional reality. Many of our clients are familiar with Jack's Backyard and have admired the unique ideas, products and furniture featured on his site. His DIY fort playset plans have become some of our top-selling items and have been featured by Better Homes and Gardens. Now, Jack has expanded his vision and established the OtterWorks Workshop to produce his custom line of reclaimed wood products and DIY project plans never before available to the general public. So, if you've ever wanted to own one of Jack's wooden creations, or you're just looking for high-quality handmade, one-of-a-kind products, this is your chance!

While our mission is to only sell what we make, some things are beyond our capabilities. We use our experience to provide you with only the best quality parts for building your own DIY playset project. Admittedly, you can probably find lesser playground parts on your own that might save a few dollars, but we have selected the products we sell as the best quality playset parts available.
Our playscape kits and swingset parts are specifically put together for our do-it-yourself playground project plans. Some of our kits will probably work well for projects other than our plan projects. Save time, frustration and energy and have a pre-packed hardware kit shipped directly to your door.

Meet the Otter family: |
THE JACK OTTER:
The patriarch and the Artistic Otter, Jack is the playful one who enjoys nothing more than cranking up his tunes to work on new and unique wood projects in his shop. He’s happiest when he’s using his freshly-sharpened, all wood, unpainted pencils to design the newest DIY playset plan. If he’s not designing (while dancing to his shop tunes), Jack can usually be seen locating the perfect tree for a customer’s custom treehouse site or he could be in the shop building parts for a treehouse in progress. He could be creating custom wood products like jewelry, clip boards, beer flight holders and more. He could be dreaming up his next creative idea. Suffice it to say that Jack is rarely if ever still, quiet or settled in just one place. Often found in the company of either Carly Belle Otter or George Otter, Jack is proud of his wildflower field outside the workshop. On his best day, he’s the playful otter who is laughing, joking, cutting wood and creating new art, all day long. 
THE SPENCER OTTER:
Nearly always found in a tree somewhere, Spencer is the team’s Outdoor Otter. Between building custom treehouses and teaching newbie otters how to swim through builds and installations, Spencer is nearly as busy as Jack Otter and Valerie Otter (we’re sensing a common thread here...). Scaling the branches of huge, stately oaks to build a giant crow’s nest fifteen feet off the ground is all in a days’ work for Spencer. Impersonating a monkey climbing trees, or traveling to far corners of the area to repair a wooden playset, Spencer is always doing something new and different. His schedule is ever changing and he loves it that way. When Spencer takes a break from tree limbs, he likes to spend time outside near a campfire in a country setting or casting a fishing line. He loves to look back at his finished treehouses and playsets, knowing he and his team of worker otters created something unique and beautiful to enhance someone’s outdoor space. 
THE HANNAH OTTER:
The one who keeps the Otter family’s hard work in the public eye, she is the Super Busy Otter. Hannah is the do-it-all problem-solving otter of our group. With her sarcastic wit and determination, Hannah tackles every large and small project with ease. Along with posting on social media, answering emails, assisting with bookkeeping, research and more, you can find her out in the field helping the other otters on a rare occasion. In her spare time, Hannah enjoys hanging out with her family and friends, going to live music concerts and sporting events, and working on puzzles. 
THE PHALEN OTTER:
Along with Spencer Otter, Phalen is usually found in a tree. He is our Climbing Otter. When spaces are tight on a build, Phalen Otter is there to nestle his way through those tough spots. Most often found with Spencer Otter building treehouses and other wooden-built projects, Phalen works hard, appreciates learning new techniques and encourages Spencer’s “bigger is always better in a treehouse” thinking. In Phalen’s free time away from tree’s, he loves spending time with his daughter, hanging out with his family and friends, and listening to music. 
THE CARLY BELLE OTTER:
The otter with the softest fur and the melt-your-heart eyes, Carly Belle is the Fun-Loving Otter. Her time is spent entertaining the rest of the family and trying to cajole them into taking a break from work (any of them, every one of them, all the time, if we’re being honest). When the rest of the team is busy doing that boring working stuff, Carly Belle can usually be found splashing in the nearest creek, pond or mud puddle, if she’s not trying to get grouchy George Otter to play a game with her. Known by many nicknames, (Carly Booper, Bellikins, Carly Belly and more), she’s the sweetheart otter of the team. 
THE GEORGE OTTER:
The Loudest Otter, 17-year-old George is the one who always lets everyone know how he’s feeling-loudly and urgently. On any given day, background noises like“George, get out of the office!” or “George, stop yowling!” can be heard throughout the shop. Fondly known as Captain Death Kitty or George E. Claws, George likes to assert himself into every conversation. 
THE VAUGHN OTTER:
The Most Shy Otter, Vaughn is hardly ever seen. He does his work behind-the-scenes as the first contact for Otterworks customers. If you are lucky, you’ll get to talk to Vaughn and not Jack Otter about your questions, since no lie, Jack can be a little scary when his creative process is interrupted. |
