We got ours from Costco online. Yardline brand I believe. We paid for installation too which wasn't much. Glad we did because I couldn't imagine building that thing.
Four year old girl. Would like to keep it under $1000, but I'm eyeballing up to $1500 sets. Any wisdom here? Are there brands known for good work?
exactlyI'd hit up Craigslist and search for playground sets trying to be sold by parents who's kids that have outgrown them.
Wouldn't be surprised if you found something similar to that $1500 set, for $200.
Spoilt bratWhen I was a boy all we had was an empty oil drum and some rope and old bicycle wheels to play with
Check Costco
A friend of mine got one for free. All he had to do was come take it apart and take it home. I’m sure you can find a similar one.
I would since I don’t mind spending the money to avoid the trouble and have better things to do with my time. Some people are cheap though.Wouldn’t that arrangement just make you wanna pay full price then pay any extra money to have someone from the store build it for you.

First off, it's embarrassing how many here just say "hire someone". It's horrible how so many people are too lazy or dumb to do shit for themselves.
My advice, don't spend too much. Kids grow out of them faster than you think, and they really only use the swing and slide. All the other shit just adds price but doesn't increase the fun they get out of it. This is what I got my boys. I had to buy the 4x4s and I already had the slide. I made a sand box under the slide frame. They never played in it, they preferred their pile of dirt they dug out of the yard. Total price was under $350. Good thing too, because by the time they were 5-6 they were done with it other than the occasional swing. Now they're 8 and 9 and the only time they use it is to put a hose on the slide and a piece of plastic at the bottom and use it as a slip n slide.
I agree, but have you bothered to price components? The slide itself is $100. Lumber and swings were a bit over $200. That's just what things cost.That's a pretty bare bones swing set. I wouldn't feel too great about spending $350 on that without install. I'm not surprised they didn't use it that much.
