Building the Ainsley KidKraft Playset

- School’s out, daycare is on a modified schedule, the parks are no fun with everyone having to social distance so what do parents do?
Well, I don’t know about you but we caved and bought a backyard playset from KidKraft.
The Ainsley Kidkraft Playset is a cedar set with two swings, a “rock climbing” wall, slide, and a fun little fort area. Great for our 2 and a half year old!
Check out the build and if you’re so inclined to pick one up for yourself, here’s the link:

This video saved my marriage
Whew. I’m so glad!
@@MADEbyAP Hey man, the skinny piece that you put in right before the floorboards (because it supports the floorboards).. ours is coming up like 1/2 inch short to reach the other side to screw in. We tried to force the sides together while drilling and the wood started to split. Any advice???
Hey there sorry I’m just now seeing this (silly CZcams didn’t notify me). I just took some pics of the underside. Not sure if these will help (or if you solved the problem already). share.icloud.com/photos/072uqJ-qQEH5OPKsyAz8jXiPw
😂😂😂
Appreciate you posting such a detailed video. I built this set a few days ago, and turned to your video whenever I was unsure of something. For anyone considering buying this, the directions were VERY user friendly, and easy to read. Thanks again for the video! 👍
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Hope the fam enjoys the set!
I practically built this on my own with my husband only helping hold a few pieces in place for me and it took me about 10 hours with breaks as long as you pay attention and follow the instructions this is a pretty simple playset to put together definitely not as bad as all the reviews made it out to be and I was worried at first lol now the wood is t the best in my opinion but for a cheap playset it’s definitely not too shabby!
That’s awesome! Go you!! 🙌🙌 Ours is still standing. Just needs a restain. Although we may need to upgrade in a few years when the kids are bigger. 😬
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Using this to mentally plan and prepare myself to build this EXACT playground for our son.
- wish me luck!!!
The force is with you!
I just ordered this the other day and I should get it tomorrow. I didn’t know that there were not pre drilled holes for every bolt and screw. Seems like they give you the parts and you pretty much gotta measure everything and build it yourself based on your own measurements. This is gonna be a fun 😂
Mine is a different one, but this still helps a lot. I’m gonna need something stronger than a beer.
Haha! I went for tequila shots lol.
LOL I hope you found those 3D directions on blit they are awesome it is the best instructions I ever found in my life bro if somebody ask you something just refer them to that blit app I'm telling you they will love you forever
Just bought one for the kids. Thanks for the heads up 🥃 😂😂
I'm on step 12. I've been working on this since August 8th lol it's so hard doing it by myself 😭
I do a step every 3 days 😂
I plan on dedicating the whole day to finish it tomorrow🤞
Stephany López I believe in you!
Bless your heart, I'm starting it's by myself as well and I'm struggling pretty hard 😭
Go on blit it is an app it has 3D Illustrated instructions you can thank me and send me all kind of money and prayers after your done LMAO
Seriously go check blit app it is awesome 3D Illustrated directions best I've ever seen in my entire life and I built buildings
I realized at the bottom of each of the pages there is a list of sizes of each part needed
By the time I finish this, my daughter will be a teen😭
I'm on step 3🥴
Thank you for your helpful video!
Haha, it does take a while to put together but it'll be worth it! Good luck!
This video helped me appreciate you taking your time out to make this video.
Thank you for that. I was hoping I could help some folks with this by sharing my own journey. Glad it’s working! Thanks for watching and the comment!!
Thank you, it took me 1.5 days, my instillation guide shows revision dates 9/17/21, I did notice that some of your steps are different in my guide. Now on to the forestview playhouse assembly.
Glad they made some changes. Hopefully for the better!
Yeah I’m gonna need a case of beer for this one 😂😂
Haha, just be careful with the power tools!
Hahahaha, I love your comment after Step 12, which is where we are. We laugh at the 4-8 hr construction!! Your video is very helpful but that comment just made us crack up. We are older, this is for our grandchildren so its perfect size for their visits to the farm.
Haha thank you! And that’s great. Your grand kids are gonna love it!!
Do you think it would work to have the slide come out of the end and put the end slats in place of the slide? For a long, narrow play structure.
Hi there sorry for the late reply. I don't see why you couldn't do that. You'd just need to put the railings where the slide originally went, and then move the slide over. The slide itself really just screws to the platform. Enjoy!
Cracked a few beers and got this done in 2 days with some help.
Rock on man! That’s how you get it done haha.
Kudos man. I tried doing it today for the kids Christmas present. I should have know better. Shame on myself for not doing this sooner and waiting until the last minute. I worked with it for an hour until I felt like ripping the hair out my scrotum.
Oh no! Yeah give yourself a couple weekends next time. I find that projects they should take a day or two now take a week because of the kids haha. So how did it come out??
@@MADEbyAP I had my brother came and helped me. It was a piece of cake once we got that hang of it. Lol. The kids love it.
Thanks man really helped out alot 😁👍
Yay! You’re welcome!! Enjoy!
Great video, I have the box sitting in my backyard waiting for me to get the motivation (and time) to put it together. I'll admit I'm not the most handy but I can follow directions. I'll have it done by end of summer ha ha. Ah yes going to try to beat the heat here in south jersey.
Nice man! Good luck with the build. I’m with you on the Jersey muggy heat. Central Jersey here haha. Stay cool!
Took advantage of yesterday's beautiful weather to attempt to put it together. I had some difficulty interpreting the directions. When I got to step 6 of assembling the other side I got totally stumped as to where board has to go and ended up throwing up a white flag for the day. Ugh. I went back and looked at instructions today. Still not positive where it attaches.
Got it done on 4th and my daughter loves it. Thanks again for the great Video!
I see your storms and raise you 40+ degree Celsius Australian summer heat. We are on step 4 and now just putting it off 🙈🤣
Your comment about "insect resistance" (around 13:20) is an incorrect interpretation of the phrase. Insect resistance refers to wood boring/consumption insects (i.e. termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, etc). Cedar will deter (not entirely) but substantially more than other woods when it comes to insects destroying your wood. It will not deter spiders from using the sealed surface corners to make a home in. Just FYI. Nice job though!
Ah good call! And yes about the spiders. We’ve had a couple take up residence (and subsequently we’re immediately evicted) since putting this up haha.
You are my hero 😂
Haha thanks!
6 hours nonstop and I got it done minus the canopy. I’ll do that the next day. I’m wore out 😂
Wow! Marathon build!!! You got this. Was it as bad as you originally thought?
@@MADEbyAP It’s not as squared as it could be because my back porch isn’t exactly flat but our yard isn’t flat either. But it’s pretty dang solid even before putting the stakes in. I made a time lapse on my channel from my security camera.

Thanks !! Mine is coming in a couple days so really helpful to prep!
Good luck!!
How much?
Where did you get it?
Currently is not available in amazon
@@googleuser4156 i found mine through tractor supply co. Total was $645 and that included the delivery charge of $135. So far so good, on step 8
@@russa2719
Thanks
Almost finished mine today.
Nice! Home stretch. Kids will be enjoying soon!
When the instructions say "flushed" does that mean drilled? For example step 7 " Top of (1765) Rock Rail angled edge should be flush to the top of (1764) Floor
Front." Thank you in advance!
Hi there sorry for the delay. Was traveling this week! So that means that the angled piece should line up flat with the top of the floor. Here's a screenshot that might show it better. See how the sharp edge of the angle is lined up with the top of the floor? I hope that helps. No additional drilling needed for that piece!
Great video, thank you for sharing. Took me a few days also and there's no way anyone can finish this in 5-8 hours. I would recommend adding two more wooden stakes (6 total) inside the sand box for additional support.
Good tip!!
just did it today. 3 hrs, 30 mins
Build it today in 5 hours and half 💯
Niiice! Go you!!
I tried to put it together and got frustrated. Thank you for this video! I’ll try again tomorrow.
Hang in there, you can do it!
Could you tell me all the tools you used to put this together? I don’t have many tools at this point, so would like to be prepared before our swing set arrives and we have to start putting it together. Thank you!
Awesome congrats on picking one up. Check out page 6 of the instruction manual. That has all the tools that you’ll need. www.kidkraft.com/media/wysiwyg/assembly-instructions/00400_AI_2018.pdf
@@MADEbyAP Awesome! Thank you so much.
Just now came across your video! Thank you! Excellent job explaining and show us newbie how to not be so intimidated!
Have you sprayed/applied any protection sealant on the play set?
Thank you! Glad it helped. I didn’t put on a protector however I think after this winter I may refinish it with a coat of stain or something as it has faded over the last couple of years. Enjoy the memories!
Did you have to put a hole on step 4 with the diagonal? Mine doesn’t line up with the available hole
I don't recall having to make a modification like that! Sorry it took so long to get back to you!
We are putting one together tomorrow. Wish us luck 😆
Carole Shaffer rock on! May the force be with you!
Do you know the weight limit for the product? Like for the swings, the second floor and slide?
Oh wow, sorry for not getting back to you! Hopefully you found the answer. I believe it's 100lbs per child with a max of like 4 or 5. The swings, no more than 100lbs, maybe 120lbs. Hope that helps!
Awesome video about to start putting ours together right now so wish me luck lol but gotta ask were to get the this old house shirt 😆 that is awesome
Haha my brother makes them. You can check them out here www.etsy.com/listing/895148579/mens-thisoldmuthafunkinhouse-tri-blend?ref=shop_home_active_10
I’m building this now. What specific screws around the structure did you have to loosen to get the floorboards to fit properly?
How big did you make the section around the play set? Want to buy one but the ultimate decider is if we have enough space in the back yard to fit the boarded and not so much the play set!
Hi there! The plot size is about 20x16. Here’s a pic good luck with your build! @t
Where do you find the labels nothing is labeled
Mine were labeled with stamps on the ends of the wood. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! For some reason I'm not getting notifications for comments these days argh!
I’ve looked over these directions 18 times to make sure I have the green plates in correctly. When I go to my block in between the hole doesn’t line up. If I flip a board so thst it lines up then. The green plates don’t line up. I have one overlapping and the adjacent not overlapping
Sorry it took me a minute to get back to you. Sorry you're having this issue! That sounds strange! I don't recall having that issue. Did you end up figuring it out??
How much space around the swing set did you put the mulch or sand?
I did mulch, and the plot size is about 20x16. Here’s a pic good luck with your build! instagram.com/p/CENOIKYp_4f/?igshid=str490twczuf
Can someone please help me with the triangles on step one? What’s the deal with the overlaps?
Hi there. I think the overlaps of the triangles will make sense when you get to step 3 when you attach the swing beam to the swing end. The overlap is to accommodate the angle the end sits at. Let me know if that helps!
Does the wood come waterproofed?
Hi there. It came pre stained and I haven’t had any rot issues through two winters so far. This spring I may pressure wash it and give it a coat of stain/sealer since it’s fading a bit.
Thanks! I legit worked on this playset for a month after work at once a week. Finally this weekend had a few hours to finish up putting it together. It was nightmare, but worth seeing my kid happy. Thanks for the video!
did you have loads of screws left over?
Not loads of screws but I had some! And it was random ones too. I think they just grabbed handfuls and threw them into the bags haha.
@MADE by AP No problem, thanks, there was 1 or 2 extra in each bag alright.
Hey buddy thank you so much for doing this video. I'm still having a little difficulty cuz I'm doing it by myself also and I'm not used to doing this stuff ever LOL do you have another video that would be more detailed or like for dummies I'm serious though. I'm trying to put one together right now
On Facebook my name is Donivan Murphy if u wanna send a message on messenger. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks again
@@TheNiceBusiness I'll shoot you a DM now!
@@TheNiceBusiness There are a few of you! Head on over to my page and message me from there so I can be sure I have the right person: facebook.com/madebyap
There's a list of parts for each step at the bottom of each page it makes it go a lot faster
Hmmm my son is 4 years old and 37 inches tall. Will this be too small. It says the slide is only 40 inches...
I should know this but when my daughter gets home I’ll measure her! She’s pretty tall and still slides down the slide just fine. Stay tuned!
So my daughter is 36” tall. I will say that she still gets some good sliding out of it. She will certainly outgrow it in a year or so. You may want to find something a bit bigger so you can get some mileage out of it!
How is it holding up? We just bought it and plan to put it together
We’re going into our second winter with it now and she’s holding up. The color is fading a bit. I may restain this spring. Other than that no issues!
@@MADEbyAP awesome ! Did you use any anchors to hold it down incase of strong winds? I was wondering if i should order some or not...?
It comes with some ground stakes and they seem to hold it in nicely. Although now that you mention it one has come dislodged from the ground because my daughter likes to swing with hurricane force haha. I may cut a longer one to replace it with. You should be able to pick up some ground stakes at the local home center.
Your a good ball
Thank you? Haha.
Do you think the ladder and slide would be able to be flipped? So ladder on the right and slide on the left? Trying to plan ahead for when we set it up this weekend.
I just went outside to look and nothing immediately jumps out at me that would indicate you COULDN'T do that. My only call out is that having the slide right next to the swing may cause some accidental bumps and bruises (which is probably why they broke up the action with the rock wall). Technically though, like I said, nothing jumped out structurally in my eye that would prevent you from doing one side or the other. Good luck with the build!!
@@MADEbyAP so kind of the same question. Do you know if it is possible to put the slide and the ladder on the other side? In other words basically “Flip” the tower around? ALSO, what size sockets did you have to use, cause I may need to buy a set to put mine together. Thanks!
how is it holding up?
Still holding strong!! Survived the winter. Kids are already playing on it.
How much would you charge someone to install this ?
Great question. If you charged, say $20 an hour and it takes roughly 8 hours solo I’d charge anywhere between $160-$200 for labor. I hope that helps!
Thanks for putting this video together. I got this from a consignment store and, while they're good people, I shouldn't have fully trusted them haha. "Oh yeah, all the pieces are in there sir".......Anyways, during the "inventory check" I noticed all of the pieces of wood that the climbing pieces attach to are not there as well as the rail block are not there. Luckily, I think I can actually just cut them myself. Originally I was thinking I could just call kidkraft and purchase these pieces but doubt it because I purchased from a consignment store not a retailer. Has anyone gone through this issue before? Will kidkraft send me onesy-twosy pieces?
Oh no! What a pain! I personally haven't had experience working with KidKraft to get replacement pieces but may be worth a shot. If you have the instructions and the item numbers and are willing to pay that shouldn't be a problem (but what do I know haha). Good luck!
@@MADEbyAP It's all good. I just went to HD and bought some wood and cut to size :) Nice little project to the project
cant get the bolts to go thru the support beam for the swings
Sorry I missed this! I hope you were able to get it to work!
What tools are needed for this install?
I used a hammer, drill with various bits, ratchet, screwdriver and a tape measure. Oh and a level. The full instructions are here and they have more details for the tools required. www.kidkraft.com/media/wysiwyg/assembly-instructions/00400_AI_2018.pdf
What does it mean when it shows flush
Hi there! Not sure I’m understanding the question. Flush means when two things are even with each other. Is there a particular section that you’re working on right now?
Hi, do I need a drill bit for the job? Cheers.
Hey there. Double check the instructions but you may need a 1/8” drill bit.
Great job. Now its my turn. F#$&*!
Haha you got this!! The force is with you.
There is a 57900007bsimple playset add on bag p0110 136309 that came in my box what does it go to what is it more importantly how do I get it
Wow! I have no idea! Maybe check with KidKraft? I hope it’s something cool!
I'm on step 4 and one of the boards aren't long enough
Oh no. You sure you have all the parts? If you’re missing something reach out to KidKraft (their info is in the instructions) and they can help you out. If you’re in a rush, a 1x3 or 4 (or whatever you need) could be used as a temporary replacement. Good luck!
Thanks for the video man; my turn
You’re welcome and good luck!!
The KidKraft swing set broke under a year. I contacted customer service and sent all required paperwork and photos and haven't heard back from "Sarah". It started falling apart 6 months after I bought it then completely at 10 months. My daughter was swinging on it and it cracked and off she flew. Terrible customer service. I will not be letting this go simply because the children don't need to be hurt. If they cared they would have contacted me back!
Oh my god I’m so sorry that happened. Yes I hope they get back to you! We’ve had ours up for a couple years at this point and so far so good. Needs to be restained at this point but that’s about it. I’ve never had to deal with their customer service. I hope your daughter is okay!
@MADE by AP Thank you so so much. They won't return any correspondence and I've een talking to people on FB whom they did it too as well. Just be careful with your babies.
STEP 12 ATTACHING THE PARALLEL BARS TO THE BOTTOM AND THE TNUT IS IN THE WAY OF SECURING THE PARALLEL BARS...WHAT DO I DO?! DID THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE? DO I NEED TO DRILL A HOLE FURTHER AWAY?!
Hi there. You shouldn’t have to drill a new hole. What part of step 12 are you on? Feel free to email me a picture at admin@madebyap.com and I can try and help you troubleshoot.
Great to see it. I did it too. The plans from Woodglut helped me a lot :)
Too long of a project where I waited too long and the wind destroyed half of it 😢
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. Not sure what broke but if it’s some of the wood pieces I bet you could pick up some pressure treated pine or cedar to make some replacement parts?
@@MADEbyAP nails ripped from the wood. Not sure if it’s fixable. It was more than 1 piece at that.
not long enough
Oh no. Are you 100% sure you’re using the correct ones per the instructions? I found the number of different sized bolts a little overwhelming ha. If the correct size is missing reach out to their customer service number. I never had to use it but I did read in various forums that their customer service was pretty responsive and quick to resolve issues.
This video is good. But not really detailed
Thanks and thanks for the feedback. As I make more tutorial type videos I’d love to hear what you think I could have done better!
You did good, and I understand you don't definitely want to make a long video. But it seems like it's just to fast pace to really see some of the details, I am currently working on mine right now. And the pro tip you talked about at the beginning does help a lot
