Love my deck swing!! I was able to put it together almost entirely on my own. I had my pre-teen hold the larger beams together while I attached them with screws. That and raising the seat to hook onto the bar from which it swings, would be difficult to do without assistance. Purchased the red and was initially worried as I thought it would be too bold. It isn’t. I love it!  There is an assembly video online which was very helpful during the set up.
