Each manufacturer will have different reasons why the cost is so much less than ours but, in the end, you will find that you will save time and money with our play sets and services. Some things that affect lower cost are the warranty on the play set, the thickness of the wood, the quality of the slides and swings and cost to have it delivered and installed at your house. Our play sets are top quality and built to last, unlike the big box store units that lack the same quality. When you purchase from us you have the peace of mind that if the set is damaged in the box, we take care of everything for you! You do not have to deal with the manufacturer and try to get the new parts in and get the installer back to finish it. We also offer move set services, repositioning services, maintenance programs and warranty claim filing on your behalf, as well as installation of warranty parts should you need them in the future. In short, buying from us you will get, long-lasting, top-+quality material, less headaches and complete service all around for the life of your play set.
