DIY Wooden Play Set

- In this video, I show you a break down of how my family built our wooden play set. This play set sits about 12' feet high, has a fort deck of 5' x 5', and sits 5' off the ground. I couldn't cover everything in detail and I do not have a detailed cut plan available to share, so by all means please leave a comment below and I'd be happy to answer it! Thanks a lot for stopping by and watching!!

How much did this roughly cost you?
fantastic
Awesome project man.thanks for the video helped me to better my ideas.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck with your project!
Your video helped me greatly.
Love to hear it!
This is amazing. I wish you and your family have had lots of fun and joy in the backyard!
Thank you!!
Bro the way you just throw that 4x6 beam up so easy lol
What are the dimensions for step ladder and rock wall platform? Im attempting to do exact thing already bought all the lumber
Thanks for putting up this video! I just built mine with the similar design. I still didn't get how those bottom pieces got set in the ground and how it held the post . I ended up using those new cement foam!
It’s primarily held up by the weight of the fort. There are some metal stakes but don’t do much other then helping prevent the fort from rocking a little bit. It’s heavy and solid though so I don’t have too much concern.
Just curious about that eyebolt that you put in the ground. What was that screwing into? Just bare soil or was there something like concrete under the soil?
Just down in the dirt. Not perfect but does help provide some anchoring. Using treated lumber like this, the whole fort is very heavy.
Did you plan any of this out on paper or a program before taking it on? also very helpful video.
You bet. It helped to figure out how much wood to buy and the length of cuts. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How did you add the 4x4 on the top deck? Is it enough to support the slide beams?
The shorter 4x4 that attaches to the 2x6 that the swing beam attaches to? Bolted to the horizontal boards (deck base and railing). Those horizontal boards are also bolted to the upright 4x4s. No concerns yet. We’ve had adults swing on it casually and no issues with support. Hope that helps!
Did you use pressure treated lumber? I’m about to build, and making sure that PT lumber is safe for the kids.
@@ClarkdeLeon yep I did
Alguem consegue converter as medidas em CENTÍMETROS por favor?
what was the cost
Can anyone convert the measurements into centimeters please?
Material cost????
How long did it take to assemble?
Quite awhile. :)
Not sure how many hours, but it was several days. That’s a trade off for doing a custom design verse a paid for plan. It was worth it in my opinion.
Hi is the bottom fort 1x8 ? It looks like 1x6
Hi there! When you saw bottom fort, what specifically are you referencing?
The bottom box that structure sits on grass, also do You have a link or model where did You get that slide? Thanks
@@r1lukasz got the slide from Menards.
They are 2x10 treated boards that sit on the group. The upright post are 4x4. I dug it out a bit so the whole structure sits level. It’s on a slight slope so the front part is under the ground a bit.
Hope that helps!
Hey, does anyone here know if your platform height is off by a few inches from 5ft, then can it still work with a slide designed for a 5ft platform?
Doesn’t need to be perfect. Off by a couple inches won’t be a problem.
How did you leakproof the roof?
Hey there - it’s not leak proof. I don’t expect the kids to be out there during the rain too often. I ended up staining it after 6 months or so to protect the wood from the elements.
I’m about to start my project and I’ll likely be replacing the roof. Right now it leaks like a sub by my kid and I love the rain. I’d like 👍🏻 t to be a place he can be without the downpour straight in his head. Any thoughts on how I might be able to do that?? I assume a strip of silicone caulking where wash plank touches isn’t going to be enough.
Where did you use the 2x8?
The horizontals at the base. Little bigger to help support the bottom. Could go bigger if you want to add sand to it.
@@NathanWatne got it, I cement my 4x4 in the ground. Used 2x6 instead
How did the anchors work? Did they hold up over time?
They definitely help with stability for the day-to-day. One exception…We had a derecho come through a few years back (>80 mph wind) and it knocked it over. Don’t think any anchor stood a chance. No issues since then.
@@NathanWatne oh wow! Sorry that happened. If you had to do it again would you put the 4x4’s in the ground?
In Oklahoma sometimes we get 80mph winds though.
@@JaredAlexanderStevenson that’s an option. Not sure what I’d do if I was in your position. We get wind but nothing too crazy. If you put it in the ground, it makes it hard to move if you choose to do so or if someone else moves in and wants to moved. Could be bigger and stronger anchors to look at.
@@NathanWatnethank you!
@@NathanWatne thank you!
Any sanding?
If you want to can. I ended up staining it so next time I have to reapply (few years) I’ll probably need to sand. I did not do any sanding before hand.
