It took me a few hours to build this and fix it in the ground, but I managed it single-handed. All the parts were present, and it went together pretty easily. The main crossbar has a slight bend in it, but it's too minor to worry about, and isn't even noticeable now that it's erected. A socket set is required in order to tighten some of the recessed bolts, in addition to a set of spanners.The one thing I departed from the instructions on is the ground fixing. The swing comes with four metal bars, that are meant to be set in concrete then screwed to the base of each leg. However, there is no indication of how you are supposed to get the bars in exactly the right positions,

This is an excellent swing. It's well engineered and sturdy and even after a lot of use and exposure to the elements, it's still as good as new. Construction is pretty straightforward if you have some basic DIY expertise (the wooden poles have no pre-drilled holes so you need to drill and mount all the fixings). Like many swings, the instructions said that it should be attached to fixings mounted in buried blocks of concrete. We didn't want to do that, so instead bought some long corkscrew-type ground anchors specifically for holding swings down and bolted it to them. Once assembled the swing feels sturdy and there's no movement even when all 3 swings are in use.

Really high-quality materials - the top is essentially a large tree-trunk! All tanalized with the green staining and long cracks, but that's how it is supposed to be to survive outdoor weather. Quite a job to put together (you need a socket set and a lot of space to lay out the parts) - probably about 3-hrs work in all. We've no anchored it in concrete, just in the lawn which seems fine. Make sure you splay the legs out as far as they will go when building it to give a wide base, otherwise you get lots of lateral movement.

Definately a two person job to set up and make sure that the legs are spread out as far as they will go sideways otherwise there will be some sideways movement, the grandkids loved it, the brochure did say that the crossbeam and upright supports were prone to showing some splitting but does state that these will close after the wood becomes accastomed to the climate, will have to wait and see, good quality and looks good, should last for years and years.

After some looking around I chose this set as it was 3m wide, all the others were too wide for the space. This one sits well, was reasonable to build if following the instructions, you do need to drill the holes yourself and use a socket set. it is very sturdy, there is some small side to side movement but we didn't concrete it in, we just hammered the pegs into the ground and it is stable. We didn't put the glider on instead buying a

Product is great, grandchildren are loving it, delivery however was a bit of a nightmare, the structure came on day stated with no problem, the fixing and seats however took 3 days extra with numerous texts and tracking, yodel said they had tried to deliver twice, but as we were here both days and have cctv we know this is not the case, the swing is up and running, but this could have been easier with a different delivery company

My daughter plays on this every day. She is 6 and loves it. It was simple to set up and does not take up too much room in the garden. The quality is good and sturdy. We do not have it concreted into the ground but it still is secure and safe. Was a great purchase to entertain over the summer!

Bought this swing set for my Granddaughters birthday present. Haven't concreted it in yet - not sure if it will be any sturdier as it has a bit of movement in atm.Looks lovely though & will last her years.Bought the baby seat to go with it as she is only 2 so can grow with her.
