I know there are a bunch of threads here on this subject (I've read those that I can find) We are looking at getting a playset. It is so overwhelming comparing all the options. We love the no-maintenance wood & look of Cedarworks. But they are so expensive, and we've never seen one in-person. (Lots of Rainbow here)
We have a 3 yr old & an infant. I am interested in opinions of the sure-step vs. just getting a ramp with rails as DH really wants a picnic table underneath. We are leaning toward a gazebo or jungle, not sure if we should do a swing ladder or just the beam for the swings. I'm not a big fan of monkey bars due to injury risk and we have low hanging utility wires above where the set will go so climbing on top of a swing ladder (when they are older) would be dangerous. But I like that we could put a climber on the other side of the swing ladder for future accessories, where with just the beam that isn't an option.
We also are considering the Playaround Trading Post, although it may be more "stuff" than we need & may not be as sturdy.
If anyone has advice on how they decided, or can share photos, I really appreciate it!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
