It's getting springlike outside, and we never built the play structure last year, so it's getting built this year.

DH has a plan to buy lumber and build from scratch, but I'd just as soon buy a kit that only needs to be put together. It needs to have a fort/cabin aspect, a good sized slide, and we want a climbing wall, but anything that's wood, a complete set, and a good deal is okay by me.

Please LMK if you see anything likely!

eta: I just called Walmart, and the CS people I spoke to (3 of them) didn't even know what a "swingset" was. You must be kidding me...

Costco had them in previous years. They were really nice ones -- but only one design in the warehouse (I think the website has others).

You could also check Sunbury cedar in North Delta. They have a lot of different styles.

Thank you! We're going to check it out hopefully this weekend...after I call to make sure the prices aren't insane...

The Costco set is way out of the budget, given that our initial plan was to DIY...

This is a good deal. I'd get it if I was sure DH could assmeble it...

We've decided on this one, listed in this week's TRU flyer:
http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=3027595&cp=2582841.2582854.2582854&parentPage=family

If we had a smaller yard, we'd go for the Canadian Tire one, but we have a huge area to fill and everyone tends to come to our house because there's so much outdoor space for the kids (usually 4-6 or more) to run around outside.
