We are very pleased with the quality of material and ease of installation. I installed most of the swing myself and it took approximately one day. The most difficult task is pre assemble and then standing the swing set upright into the footer holes. My neighbors helped and four of us stood it up in 5 minutes. I hand dug the holes in hard clay/loam soil which took the most amount of time. I rented an electric mixer and poured concrete in 2 hours.
I arranged with my local lumber yard/home center to receive delivery and then delivery to our house as it isn't accessible by tractor trailer and didn't want the aggregation of coordinating a drop shipment and unloading.
The swing set came in two shipments. Swings, chains and misc. hardware in boxes via UPS. The structure came strapped to a single long pallet. This could have easily been broken down and unloaded piece by piece from the tractor trar with twileo people, eliminating the need for forklift or other lifting device. The pallet weighed close to 600 pounds.
Our daughter, her friends, and we, love the new swing set. Great family time just hanging around.
