Expert opinion

As a parent of two active children, I m always looking for ways to keep them entertained and engaged in physical activity. Having a swing set in the backyard is an ideal way to do both. After thorough research, I decided to purchase the Backyard Discovery Buckley Hill Wooden Swing Set. I was impressed with the features, construction and price of this model.

The Buckley Hill Swing Set is designed for ages 3 6 years old, making it perfect for my kids. It has a covered upper deck so they can stay out of the sun while still being able to see what s going on outside. The mesh panels provide protection from UV rays as well as visibility for parents. There are two belt swings with rope chains, so their hands won t get pinched and there isn t any need for extra padding. And for a challenging climb, there s a rockwall ladder combo that my kids love!

My kids also love the 6 foot super speedy slide and 15 x 15 chalk board that comes with this swing set. It has been great to watch them slide down the slide and draw pictures on the chalkboard when they have some downtime outside. The cedar construction gives it durability and it is naturally resistant to rot and decay. The color may vary depending on the stain it was treated with, but we found ours to be a nice shade of green that blends in nicely with our backyard landscape.

The assembly went smoothly thanks to the step by step interactive BILT app which was very helpful throughout the process. We were even able to finish in 4 hours which was less time than anticipated! Additionally, this swing set comes with a 5 year limited warranty which provides peace of mind knowing it will last for years to come in our backyard.

In conclusion, I am very pleased with my purchase of the Backyard Discovery Buckley Hill Wooden Swing Set. It is perfect for my 3 6 year olds who can enjoy all of its features safely and responsibly under adult supervision from swinging on the belt swings to climbing up the rockwall ladder combo and sliding down the 6 foot super speedy slide! Plus, it is made from cedar wood making it durable enough to withstand outdoor conditions and last for years to come. I highly recommend this swing set if you are looking for an entertaining activity center your kids will love!
