I wanted to let you know how much I love the Apollo playset I built for my granddaughter. While it took me a while, I purchased the plans and hardware in May and I finished in October. The sanding and routing just took time and there were so many other things to do. :( The material and cut list were excellent and accurate. The plans were good, I likely read them a dozen times and as I progressed the next step became very clear. At the end of the day I spent $1250, all in: plans, hardware, wood, slide and some tools. (I needed 1/2" long drill bit and 2 forstner bits)
It is just gorgeous, very solid, I think it would take a hurricane to move it. I still have to do the sandbox under the fort. I am thinking I'll add a 2x6 and have sand in 1/2 of the lower frame. Again the playset is awesome, and my granddaughter loves it Thank you! |

My Daughter and her friends had a ball at her 3rd birthday party and I received many praises for on it. I even had a go on the swing and gave it a workout and it didn’t budge an inch.
I was very happy with your plans and I was able to put this together for around $2000 AU including all accessories, to buy something like this pre-fabricated would have been twice as much. Thank you. Adam |
If anyone wants to know, it cost about $1200 for the lumber and hardware for main structure, four position swing, picnic table, and adding two swings to the main structure with the accessories arm or whatever y'all called it. It took three of us about 5-6 hours to get to what you see in the pictures. I will send more pictures once we get it finished and try to write up a better testimony when I have some more time.

We spent the Fourth of July (100 degree heat) building your Gemini Playset for my 2 year old son. It took one full day to cut and label the wood. Then it took two more days to put it all together. But as you can see, it's sturdy enough to hold THREE GROWN MEN! This thing ain't going nowhere! Your plans were very easy to follow and we appreciated the shopping list. We look forward to years of fun on this swing set! THANKS! Gina <>< |
