"WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!! I ordered a shed in early 2021. I paid half up front. The shed wasn't delivered until June 2022. To be fair, the weather was a problem at times, and they also had many supply chain issues so I waited and waited. In the end, they delivered a gorgeous shed BUT the owner, Brett, installed it improperly by dragging the shed over level gravel so it was left with floating beams on either side. Under the shed there are big gouges and no support in many parts. He claimed that the pad was improperly built and not level, but he did not call me to say so - he just put the shed down unsupported and left. An experienced contractor built the shed platform with at least 5" of 57 gravel surrounded by 6x6 pressure-treated wood beams rooted into the ground. The pad was absolutely level. All 4- Outdoor had to do was put the shed on top of the pad. However, they put the shed on crookedly, then dragged it into place. When I called to resolve the issue on June 5th, I got no answer until 7 July when I found out that he was, unfortunately, hospitalized. I contacted them again in August, then September, then finally got a response in October. Brett wants me to PAY to move the shed, level the gravel, and then replace the shed. He should have done this to begin with!!! Through 1.5 years of correspondance I had to deal with his front desk person who tried her best. When I finally asked to speak directly to him, I was stunned at how incredibly rude he was. I got in half a sentence to begin to explain the issue and he went on and on and on for more than 5 minutes whining about not working for free, that my pad was not right, that it wasn't his fault, and more. Stay away from this company. The owner is rude, doesn't care, did an improper install, won't warranty the work by fixing it, and wants to charge me for something he should have done right to begin with. I see I am not the only one who has left such bad review. Terrible company. Stay away."

Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

Choosing a suitable backyard playset that’s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won’t substantially increase your home’s value, it won’t negatively affect it either.

Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.

Wood, metal, and plastic are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.

Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.
