Just finishing my version of this playset. My grandkids are amazed. They always want to be here. Well done Tyler. I'll have my video up shortly! The plans were awesome. This thing will be here 100 years!
This is the best video ever. Filmed well, not boring, good descriptions, and enjoyable to watch. Thanks man. So great. Wish I had this backyard for my kids!
WOW!!! I have to agree with you this is the worlds greatest swing set. Great job Tyler. You and everyone who helped you did a fantastic job. You should be very proud. I'm quite sure that your kids and there friends will have a blast playing with this. Thanks for sharing
I purchased the plans online on an impulse buy. The complete bom was bought at a lumber yard. We have some stuff from our old swing set and are modifying your plans slightly. But it looks really good so far. It's awesome seeing how inadequate everyone else's sets are in the subdivision as this towers over some houses. Thanks for putting this together!
This is the kind of video that I love but I don't have to show to my wife or I'm going to have all the weekends and nights booked to project and build it up :)
Can we get a yard tour? Your property looks absolutely gorgeous this time of year. (My home doesn't have much more than a patio for a backyard, so I've got huge yard envy right now)
Did you consider pouring eight 6" concrete footings for the two tower 4x4 supports? That is a lot of weight and it will move as the ground moisture increases.
If you did that do you think you could eliminate the frame at the bottom? Then no wood would be in contact with the ground extending the life of the set even longer.
As every other... Start building it now. My daughter started to climb on it when she was... 18 months (with my help). I am glad I did a much smaller version when she was only 15 months. (took me 3 months to finalize it by the way)
Great project! I would recommend changing that climbing wall with those holes with some real climbing wall holds. Kids can stuck their feet on those holes in a worst case cenario. But again, great project.
I have to add your an amazing dad and your kids are very lucky. There both adorable. If only mine would help. Make the most of them whilst there still young. They grow up so quickly. Keep up the great work. Your videos are great. Been subscribed for some time now just not very often I comment. Just like to learn but had to say something on this one.
So cool Tyler! Your videos are always well done and your instructions and talk thru are clear and concise. Thanks again and enjoy watching your kids on this set!
Does anybody else have zero plans of ever building this, but are just watching these videos because it's cool. Hell, I don't even want kids! I may build a bigger one for myself in the future 😂
czcams.com/video/rlKtbSJPue4/video.html Short video of my swing set.. We built the whole thing in about two weeks mostly after work and on weekends.. I had a lot of help for putting up the towers and putting the bridge in place, after that it was mostly myself my son and wife..
@@DIYTyler Sorry to message here but I could not do it any other way to do so. I had bought the 14.99 prints for the swing set and it shows on my bank statement that it was taken out and paid for but for some reason I cannot pull it up NO WHERE AT ALL I tried EVERYTHING. PLEASE HELP
Bought the plans built the fort. Took me about 40 hours over a 4 week period but I also had to setup and tear down every time I worked on it. The videos are great when you need a little more clarification. I did bury the slanted support beams into the ground... this ain’t going anywhere.
My kids and I enjoyed watching this build and seeing your children playing and helping alongside you! It doesn't look like you had pre-drilled holes. May I ask why?
Used screws that have a self tapping head on the them and the wood was quite wet. There were a few places that I was close to the edge that I still pre drilled.
In my area, a ton of fence companies put out scrap fence slats for people to take so anyone looking to save some money might want to check your local fence companies.
Fantastic job! My only concern is the rock climbing wall. A foot could easily slip through when climbing and if a child looses their grip it's just bad news.
Is there some way that you can share the work plan that you made out for this project, I would love to be able to do this in my house. Thank you so much
Sweet little helper at 10:28. The "wavy" slide I put in our playhouse actually called for a 2x4 to be hammered into the ground, right under the base/tongue of the slide. Then, you drive a screw through the lip of the slide into that piece of wood. I'm curious, did yours have the same?
Excellent work. Only 1 question. It appeared that some of the decking boards were installed with the end grain showing as a "U" instead of the other way. I was always told to put decking boards with the end grain over, the "U" upside down, so that warping wouldn't raise edges and cause tripping.
Looks Awesome, better than the ones we grew up with in the local parks, are you intending on painting the timbers, the preservatives used in pressure treatment are not friendly to small children especially if they put fingers in mouths after climbing all over it. A bonus is you can get the kids involved in choosing the colors and help with the painting, this would make a good video.
Would it be better to cut the 4x4s for the fort tower before putting the frame together? I noticed you didn't seem to cut them down in the video until you started the railing. The plans don't seem to specify when to cut them, but maybe I just missed it.
Hello Tyler, I'm building the swingset and purchased the plans but I don't see any instructions to put the Rope support on. Do you have a video or plans for that somewhere?
Amigo u.a pergunta qual tratamento você deu pra madeira externa e meus parabéns a criançada vai curtir de montão desde já muito obrigado até mais ver amigão 🇺🇸🇺🇸🖖
Anyway here from Canada who has built this? Wondering how the cost of lumber compares, as well as the structure itself without having been cemented in. Here with the freezing temperatures and permafrost shifts I am wondering if it would hold up here without the cement footings.
Awesome swing set . Looks like you have a big yard too...how long does it take to mow it. I know the feeling. We have an acre and a half. Thanks Tyler.
Awesome! Really great and inspiring (as usual :)) . One thing I failed to see in the comments, but what would be my first concern when building this is moisture from the ground. Won't your studs rott quite quickly when they're in permanent contact with the soil?
Very nice build. I'm sure those plans helped a lot. What made you use screws over nails for the fence boards? Seemed like you spent the extra time & money using screws for a insignificant trade off.
I think anything with nails on a swing set is not a good idea...too many changing forces. Fence boards maybe but screws will help hold everything from warping.
I love the bridge idea. My question is: How do you maintain it? Since it is all made of wood...I'm thinking that it would require a lot of sanding and staining--maybe every year??? I'd like to build a structure in my yard and the swings hanging from the bridge caught my eye and is exactly what I want! I want the bridge to go from a large deck/treehouse area to a small platform with a zipline going across the yard. AND, I want to know what I'm getting myself into for the long term. ;) That's my dream anyway...
Very impressive. Even more impressive that you didn't yell at your kids once out of frustration (at least not on camera ;) lol)
Just finishing my version of this playset. My grandkids are amazed. They always want to be here. Well done Tyler. I'll have my video up shortly! The plans were awesome. This thing will be here 100 years!
It's pretty cool that your kids will have this video to look back on to see how much work went into the swing set.
And see themselves as well!
This is a fantastic build, and as a big as child.. i am jealous of your kids.. man. I WANT A FORT/SWING!
Awesome job Tyler, your children are lucky to have a dad that cares so much, keep on doing what you do
Thanks Michael!
You got a nice family! I am sure you will be dad of the year for sure! I like how the dog came by to supervise. Nice work!
This is the best video ever. Filmed well, not boring, good descriptions, and enjoyable to watch. Thanks man. So great. Wish I had this backyard for my kids!

So far so good! Thanks Roy!

Tyler I was really hoping to see you go down that slide. That's why I watched it lol. Joking. Great job and looks amazing. Keep it up brother!!
lol! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
That is one kick butt swing set. Your back yard is big, at least a six pack even with the John Deere. Nice job, thanks for the video.
Perfectly done work. The best reward for the work done. This is the smile of the children.
This is the kind of video that I love but I don't have to show to my wife or I'm going to have all the weekends and nights booked to project and build it up :)
You've got that "Dad of the Year" trophy in the bag!
YES!!
I've no kids but I would love to build this, great job Tyler.
Can we get a yard tour? Your property looks absolutely gorgeous this time of year. (My home doesn't have much more than a patio for a backyard, so I've got huge yard envy right now)
denno021 my patio is just a little bit bigger than my grass area
Great build, and I'm sure your children and their friends will have fun for years.
I hope so! Thanks for watching Steve!
Wow! I mean just wow. Thanks for sharing!

My 6yo son has made me watch part one multiple times. Glad part two is here for something new ;)
Great work T!
lol! Now you're gonna have to build one!
Fantastic build! I'll bet your place is the place to be for anyone under 10! Some lucky kids in your neighborhood!
Hammered! Well done man. My daughter just turned one so I have some time but definitely will keep this build in mind.
cencalmatt Two! Sir I'm sorry to say you're already behind she'll be graduating before you know it. Best of luck with the build though.
She'll be ready before you know it! Get on it!!
As every other... Start building it now. My daughter started to climb on it when she was... 18 months (with my help). I am glad I did a much smaller version when she was only 15 months. (took me 3 months to finalize it by the way)
never seen a climbing wall done like that, I do like that better than the rock wall.
Outstanding build, Tyler!! Didn't catch the woodworking bug until after my kids were grown, but my grandkids will definitely benefit!!
This is very useful for children!
Great project! I would recommend changing that climbing wall with those holes with some real climbing wall holds. Kids can stuck their feet on those holes in a worst case cenario. But again, great project.
I really enjoyed watching this video .
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Nice work! I'm sure your kids and neighbors kids will enjoy. Nice set of videos!
Thanks man!!
Thank you so much for this, I bought your plans and built this for my kiddos.. turned out great and the kids love it!!
anyway to see yours? how long did it take you? and how much help did you get.

DUDE! this, you, your family...... are awesome!
Thank you sir!

You have some lucky kids. Looks great.
Thanks Dale!
Very Nice. lots of work. Looks great.
Great job on this one, bud - beautiful family as well. Have one that arrived in July so I’ll be bookmarking this to build soon. Nice work!
You are rich man! Thank you for video.
great job you must be an awesome cool dad
Thumbs up hammered! Thanks for another fun video.
Love ur projects and most importantly, ur cute little helpers..
Man you killed it. Also looked like fun putting it together
Thanks Steve....it was a good time!
Wow wee wowzeers! That is awesome! Great job Sir!!!!
Thanks Daniel!
Awsome.
Can't say I have anything near the space I would need to build this monster. But I may use the climb wall idea
Go for it! Thanks for watching.
I would agree; it is the greatest!
Awesome built Tyler! (y)
Your kids are awesome real good jop
that routers great
Awesome stuff!
Now I just have to go get a house with a giant property so I can build it.
Do it!!
awesome job man
Great project Tyler!!
I don' have enough space to build this swing set.
But I want to build small one someday.
Awesome job, Tyler!
amazing. And what a house!

Muito bom. Bonito e bem funcional para a criançada.
Great job T!!!!!
Thanks Dave!

Good tip Tom!
Awesome video Tyler!
Fantastic job! My only concern is the rock climbing wall. A foot could easily slip through when climbing and if a child looses their grip it's just bad news.
Really awesome build Tyler! 👍👊
Thanks Fred!
That's a pretty nice swing set. I have a couple of questions... Where's the water cannons and where's the mud pit? lol
Great job, Tyler!
Mud pit....that would go over great with the wife!
Outstanding!!
Is there some way that you can share the work plan that you made out for this project, I would love to be able to do this in my house. Thank you so much
wouldn't it have been better to put cement footers under the tube slide tower? So the soil doesnt compct under it and cause issues later?
Hello, i love this and purchased your plans. Im in progress now. For the railing at 147inch, can I use 2 smaller cuts?
Great job.....I always love your "supplemental work force" in your videos; as my father used to say........"all for the want of an extra hand!"
Oh yeah!
very awesome 😍
Could you use pallet wood for this?
Sweet little helper at 10:28. The "wavy" slide I put in our playhouse actually called for a 2x4 to be hammered into the ground, right under the base/tongue of the slide. Then, you drive a screw through the lip of the slide into that piece of wood. I'm curious, did yours have the same?

Will seal the lumber after it dries sufficiently.
But if I watch this one now what will I watch next week when it's released!? lol
Watch them both again!!
Excellent.
Thanks David!!
How did you hang the climbing rope?
Would it be better to cut the 4x4s for the fort tower before putting the frame together? I noticed you didn't seem to cut them down in the video until you started the railing. The plans don't seem to specify when to cut them, but maybe I just missed it.
What was est cost. I know lumber prices change but it will give me start
Hello Tyler,
I'm building the swingset and purchased the plans but I don't see any instructions to put the Rope support on. Do you have a video or plans for that somewhere?
Tyler what is the angle you used for the 4x4 a frame supports??
2020 COVID-19!!! Good idea for this time!!!
that is so cool

I am interested to know how much yard space I will need to construct from your plan? Cheers.
Bonito.
So awesome!! Looking to purchase the plans but I'm curious what is the overall footprint/dimensions of the entire set?
How much roughly were the supplies for this sweet thing?
Awesome swing set . Looks like you have a big yard too...how long does it take to mow it. I know the feeling. We have an acre and a half. Thanks Tyler.
Thanks man! Takes me just under two hours, trimming and clean up included.
Awesome! Really great and inspiring (as usual :)) . One thing I failed to see in the comments, but what would be my first concern when building this is moisture from the ground. Won't your studs rott quite quickly when they're in permanent contact with the soil?

Thanks Tyler. Your plans are great as well! How has the marine plywood held up? Is it splintering very badly in the weather?
Do you have a walktbrough video of this set.? I love it but wanna see what the insides look like
I will have one soon. I built one from his plans.
How did you protect it from the weather?
Once it has dried sufficiently I will seal it with a clear deck sealer.
Tyler G Thanks
Do you have any concerns/worries about the plywood used for the climbing wall holding up against the weather over time?
It may degrade in 10 years but I can replace it! My dad has had the same for over 13 years and my kids play on it still.
Perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Marcus!
