I bought this top of the line Lifetime swing set approximately 5 years ago. And even though I do believe it a superior product, within approx 3 years it started to rust and the plastic on the roof begin to crack.  It was also severely sun bleached within first 2 years. I live in California. We don’t have a lot of rain or extreme weather conditions. I love the swing set and my kids love it, I just wish it would have lasted longer. I’m thinking of replacing it entirely with a brand new lifetime 
and put it under a awning.
