where to buy a swingset? are certain ones better than others?

[mtemm]

we had to leave our swingset behind when we moved so are looking to buy a new one. we bought our previous one from owners of the house we bought, so we've never actually shopped for one before. where is the best place to go for one? are certain brands better than others? we looked at one at costco the other day but it was way too large with way too many bells and whistles.

any advice?

I don't know about better than others but, we love ours from Lowe's. You can add to it as you go and order only what you want..

there is a similar post over at the budget board..

we wanted a set by Backyard Adventures - but didn't like the prices. We were able to find one made by them at BJs club last summer. It was, however, a larger one with the treehouse/clubhouse part and swings, and lots of extras - but for much less (around $800 or $900). It went together easily and so far we love it. There is a great deal of info over at the other thread - just waiting for you to check out!!!

We had a Rainbow swingset. I still shudder at the cost but it was one of the BEST purchases I ever made when my kids were little.
