Since schools closed early and going out to parks and playgrounds was out of the question, we decided to finally get a playground for our backyard. My husband and I assembled it ourselves and because we could only work on it a few hours a day after work, it did take us several days to finish. Hardest part wasn't the actual assembly, but finding the right pieces and all the hardware that goes with it. It sure had a lot of hardware! Instructions were fairly easy to follow otherwise. It looks great, much better than ones made with plastic, and I can see our boys enjoying it for many years.
