How long does assembly really take?
The manufacturer's manuals give two people 7 to 10 hours for the smaller sets and 18 to 20 hours for the bigger ones, plus about 3 hours for a spiral tube slide. Times vary with experience. Every part is pre-cut, pre-drilled and numbered, and the free 3D BILT app guides you through each step. Prefer not to? Our crew assembles it in a day: add professional assembly above.
What does the 5-year warranty cover?
Wooden parts: 5 years against rot and structural defects, with no maintenance conditions attached. Plastic and metal parts: 2 years. A real person handles claims, not a form.
Is it actually safe?
Every beam is sanded smooth and pre-stained, and the swing chains are coated to protect little fingers from pinching. The set stands on 40 cm steel ground anchors: it doesn't wobble, and it needs no concrete. A grown-up nearby for the small ones. Where a set has passed EN 71 testing, the lab tests are shown further down its page.
Why do your age ranges differ from the maker’s?
The range on each page is our own recommendation, from years of selling and assembling these sets. A twelve-year-old gets bored on a small set within minutes, and a bored child starts playing rough. The big frames are built to take that; the smaller ones are not. So we cap the age where the set stops being interesting, not where the maker’s label does.
How does delivery work for something this big?
By pallet to your kerb or gate, free anywhere in the EU. The driver won't carry it to the back garden, so have a helper or trolley ready. You'll get the delivery date before you pay.
What ground do I need? Do I need to anchor it?
Flat grass, rubber tiles or bark. No concrete, ever: the set stands on 40 cm steel ground anchors, included and required. Leave 2 m clear around the set on every side as a safe play zone.
What if the kids don't love it?
Every Kids Play set includes our 60-Day Guarantee. If your kids aren't outside more, tell us within 60 days of delivery. Take it apart, pack it into the original boxes (so keep them) and we arrange collection. A collection fee and a 15% restocking deduction apply, both stated before we book, and we refund the rest once the set is back with us.

CEDAR OR SPRUCE
What the price difference actually buys
Compared with a standard swing set in pressure-treated spruce. We leave out brand names and list only the differences that matter in year three.

|---|---|---|
| Wood | Solid cedar, naturally rot-resistant | Spruce or pine, pressure-treated with preservative |
| Anchoring | 40 cm steel anchors, no concrete ever | Typically ~70 cm concrete footings |
| If you move house | Anchors pull out; the lawn recovers in weeks | Footings stay in the garden |
| Maintenance | Optional sealant or stain each spring, or let it turn silver grey | Re-treatment needed to keep the preservative working |
| Safety testing | EN 71 & ASTM | EN 71 typically |
| Warranty | 5 years, no maintenance conditions | 2 years typical, often conditional |

Why cedar
19 years, and
no set returned for rot
Cedar’s own oils protect the wood. Since 2007 we have not had a single set returned for rot or decay.
Spruce sets are pressure-treated to resist rot. Cedar does it with its own oils, so staining is for looks, never for protection.
Cedar stays cool in full sun, and its tight knots make the boards less likely to crack and catch small hands.
Our 5-year warranty has no maintenance conditions. Over the years the wood greys and picks up dirt. It needs no treatment, but if you want the set to keep looking new, give it a wash and a coat of sealant or stain each spring.
“Sturdy” is the word parents use in reviews. Every joint is bolted with steel hardware, the swing beam sits in powder-coated brackets, and six ground anchors hold the legs.
And yes, it smells of cedar.
Kids Play safety
You’ll check the slide, and a lab has checked the rest
A lab tries to trap a head, a finger or a hood string in every gap, and to tip the frame over. A set passes EN 71 testing only if each attempt fails.
What the lab did
Three groups of tests, run by independent labs, not by the maker. Every set that passes EN 71 testing goes through all three.
Head, neck and finger probes go into every gap. A toggle on a cord is dragged down the slide. The frame is loaded and pulled with the anchors in place.
A flame is held to the wood, the stain and the plastics. The lab times how fast it spreads and checks that against a limit.
Stain, plastics and wood are tested for heavy metals, softeners and banned wood preservatives. Nothing is above the limits for toys.
- 1Belt swings on plastic-coated chains, so small hands hold smooth plastic, not bare links.
- 2Seats spaced to the standard, so two children in full swing never touch.
- 3Deck rails a child can’t slip between. The gap is set by the standard, not by eye.
- 4Monkey bars held at both ends, the tower on one side, their own A-frame on the other.
- 5Eight anchors screwed into the lawn hold the frame down. No concrete, ever.
STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY
Your phone shows which bolt goes where

THE TECHNICAL DETAILS
Check it fits your garden
The Montpelier is the most house-like set in the range: a peaked roof, a full-height door and bay windows make the upper fort feel like a building rather than a platform. It suits medium gardens, and children who would rather play inside the fort than climb all the time.
What’s included
- Upper fort with peaked roof, full-height door and bay windows
- Front balcony, doubling as the slide deck
- 2.4 m speedy slide
- Monkey bars and a flat-step ladder
- Swing beam with two belt swings and a trapeze bar
- Snack stand with a built-in bench beneath the fort
Will it fit your garden?
- Assembled size: 4.9 × 4.7 m, 2.85 m high
- Safe play zone: 8.9 × 8.7 m
- Swing beam height: 1.92 m
- Weight: 146 kg
The Montpelier needs 2 m of clear ground on each side: plan for 8.9 × 8.7 m of level garden free of fences, walls and trees.
The wood
Built from cedar with no chemical pressure treatment: the natural oils in the wood do the protecting. At 146 kg, two people can manage it during the build, and it is still heavy enough to stand firm through a Baltic winter.
Assembly
Two people, around 10 hours, times vary with experience. Two boxes, both pre-drilled, with 3D guidance in the BILT app. Our crew assembles it in a day for €690.
Delivery and warranty
Delivery is free anywhere in the EU, from our warehouse in Poland. It arrives as two boxes, 146 kg in total. The 5-year warranty applies in a home garden. Public or commercial installation voids it.
The wood in this swing set is 100% cedar. Its knots are small and tight, so the boards are less likely to develop small cracks around them. Cedar resists rot and decay. All boards come pre-stained for a smooth, clear finish. Each one is pre-cut and stamped with its part number to help speed up assembly. Almost every hole is pre-drilled, and a Kids Play set needs around 10 holes drilled during assembly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Still can't decide? Read these answers
What age group are Kids Play sets best suited for?
Ages 2 to 12. Each set's page gives the range we recommend for that model. Deck heights are generally 1.2 to 1.5 m, and up to 1.8 m on some models such as the Woodridge. Rock walls challenge the older children, and flat-step ladders suit the younger ones.
Will these swing sets fit in a smaller or urban garden?
Yes, if you have 7.7 × 6.9 m of clear, level ground. That is the safe play zone of the Sunnydale, the smallest set we sell. Compact models like the Sunnydale still carry a snack stand, a 2.4 m slide and space for a sandpit, and leave more of your lawn free.
Do I need to treat the wood with sealants to prevent rot?
No. The wood in Kids Play sets is 100% cedar, with tight knots. Its natural oils resist decay, moisture and insects without chemical pressure treatment. It arrives pre-stained with a smooth finish. A coat of sealant or stain each spring is optional and keeps the set looking new. Left alone, the wood weathers to a silver grey.
Do I need carpentry skills to assemble the swing set?
No. Each board is pre-cut and stamped with its part number, and almost every hole is pre-drilled: a Kids Play set needs around 10 holes drilled during assembly. The 3D BILT® app guides you step by step and shows which bolt goes where.
How does the 60-Day Guarantee work?
If your kids aren't outside more, we'll take it back. You have 60 days from delivery to decide. Keep the original boxes until you're sure. To return the set, take it apart and pack it into those boxes, then we arrange collection from your home. A collection fee and a 15% restocking deduction apply, both stated before we book, and we refund the rest once the set is back with us. The guarantee covers every Kids Play set.
What kind of activities are included beyond standard swings?
That depends on the model. Your kids can serve food from a lower-level café with a toy barbecue and sink, cross an elevated tunnel, race down a 3 m wave or tube slide, or keep watch from a crow's nest with a telescope.
