Eastern Jungle Gym DIY Swing Set Hardware Kit with Easy 1-2-3 A-Frame Brackets, Swing Seats, Ring Trapeze Bar and All Assembly Hardware and Instructions - Wood Not Included

Be prepared to sand every single post that is supposed to fit into these “easy” brackets. It’s an absolute joke that it takes so much personal labor to get these to work. I have an idea, make the bracket openings a little larger and provide a pack of shims. Dang.

I cannot say enough about this kit. It resembles commerical grade sets. It was easy to assemble and was up in no time. We used 4x4x8s and 4x4x12, no problem with putting the wood into the brackets. The grandkids (I have 5) absolutely LOVE it. It is very sturdy.

Arrived on time, all parts as described. Made erecting a swing set for my Granddaughter possible by myself. Does require some tools, knowledge and patience to drill the mounting holes straight through the 4X6 top beam. Buy dry wood if possible or let the wood dry in a warm garage for several weeks for best results. Use shims to level the beam before drilling each hole, (if it is at all even slightly twisted) and clamps to hold it stationary before drilling. A drill press will make drilling straight holes much easier. Once it was all drilled and the hardware mounted I placed all the parts on site and built it there. Once totally built and the swing was laying on its side I lifted the top beam of the A frame up and placed it on a 5 foot ladder then used a rope attached to the top beam and a small tractor to slowly pull the swing upright. To keep the swing from tipping too far I had a friend use a rope to counter the pull from the tractor and let the swing settle slowly to the ground. Tie down stakes placed, all set up and ready to swing

Nice and easy set up. However I need to figure out something else with the bolts. Might have to drill completely through and use nuts and bolts. The screws/bolts that come with it keep coming loose. Not very happy with that. I know it’s probably too much. But I think instead of using a 4x6 they could have made the brackets to hold something a little bigger. Just for added stability. Watching my 12 year old daughter swing and watching the 4x6 twist as she’s swinging kind of nerve-racking

My boys swing high, and my previous swing set moved so much that I was worried it would fall apart while they were swinging. This is a really sturdy, heavy-duty swing set. The wood required to build this is twice as thick as the wood that came with my previous swing set kit, and the hardware is no joke. I love the fact that adults can swing on this now. When I read the reviews, I was worried about my brackets not going on easily. But after a little sanding, they went on without any problems using a rubber mallet and wood block to hammer it in. The hardest part for me was drilling 12 holes straight through the 4x6 beam since I dont have a drill press. I had to buy an extra long drill bit and watch a youtube video to figure out how to do that! But everything else was fairly easy. Im definitely glad I upgraded with this kit.

Turned out great! Had our handyman put it together and he said it was pretty easy to assemble once you get the lumber you need. Very sturdy and kids love it! Strong enough for adults to swing! Love that the chain has a coating to prevent rust and not get hot for little hands in the summer. Materials are good quality. Totally worth buying it this way...saved about $300 to do it this way vs. buying from local hardware stores.

This kit was an excellent value and what a great way to cut the cost of a solid swing set at least by half!! You get everything that you need except for the lumber. Really simple to put together.

We are 2 months into using the Eastern Jungle Gym Classic Swing Set and love it. We replaced the trapeze for a toddler bucket seat (also Eastern Jungle Gym) for our almost 2 year old. He loves the swing & asks to swing often. I also love it and will swing for hours on end into the night. Assembly was relatively straightforward, but here are some notes: - Check the bolts & nuts. We had a bolt that was bent and went to the big orange store to get a new one. - I personally did not use pretreated wood, because Id read about the dangers of getting a splinter from the treated wood. Instead I used a standard deck stain - That same big orange store cut my 4x4s & 4x6s for me so no need to break out the circular saw. - Make sure to get a long enough drill bit to go through the 4x6. Trying to meet from either end would take a level of skill I didnt even want to attempt. - I was able to assemble the entire swing set by myself, but needed help flipping it over into place

The kit was all there with heavy duty hardware. Lag bolts were enough with extras. Took two people two hours to assemble.

Brackets worked exactly as I hoped they would. Great quality and theyre very sturdy. The swings are great too!
