The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about $700 to $1,000, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use. On the other hand, buying a pre-made playset costs $1,000 to $6,500 or more, and if you choose to have it professionally installed, you’ll pay an additional $330 to $700.

Children can become interested in playset activities as young as two years old, and many start to lose interest between ages nine and 12. Backyard playsets can grow and adapt as the children age and playtime interests change.

It’s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It’s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it’s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.

There are many different types of basketball hoops available to choose from. 

• Portable hoops are fully moveable and generally do not require assistance with assembly. 

• Semi-portable in-ground hoops have an anchor cemented in the ground and a removable post.

• In-ground hoops are fully built into the ground as one piece and cannot be relocated after placement. 

• Wall-mounted hoops do not have a post or pole and work well when space is limited.
