We're considering getting a playset for DS1 (6) and DS2 (almost 2). While Triumph and Cedar Works sets look beautiful, we don't really want to spend that much. So we're looking at some of the Gorilla sets. If you have a Gorilla set, how do you like it and how has it held up over time? Did you get the timbershield option?
We're also debating between the A-frame style with the tire swing underneath and the more fort type structure. I feel the fort-type is a little more enclosed, which might help keep DS2 safer. But DS1 really wants a tire swing. If you have a set with a tire swing under the play deck, does it get a lot of use? Seems like it might be hard to get spinning under there? These are the sets I think we're currently considering, if anyone has any other feedback. Thanks - my head is spinning a little with all the options!
