    The Fort

    Fort, deck, roof and slide

    A single cedar fort with a covered deck, a slide and a ladder or rock wall to climb up. The simplest way to start, and it can grow later.

    Best for: Smaller yards and younger kids, or a starter set you'll add to.

    Fort + Swings

    Adds a 3-position swing beam

    Everything in Design 1 plus a heavy cedar A-frame swing beam with three swing positions, usually two belt swings and a trapeze or ring set.

    Best for: Families with two or more kids who want the classic swing set.
