DIY Endeavor Wood Fort/ Swingset Plans
Use my do-it-yourself plans to make this cool
fort/ swingset and beyond!
My
Endeavor do-it-yourself wood fort/ swingset plan
is featured in a Better Homes and Garden DIY book called, "Playsets". This
design is also featured on the cover of the book. In the book, they refer to
it as "Fort Frolic". I would have never come up with frolic!
I have to admit, it sounds fun! In your search for a good set of plans, keep in mind, you won't find another set of swingset plans endorsed by Better Homes and Garden.
Designed
in my backyard for smaller yards.. The Endeavor was born in Houston, TX.
("Space City USA") It was named in honor of our American astronauts and the
endeavors they represent in America. Once you see your child rocket to the
moon, swing through the jungles of the Amazon, or find treasure in the
sandbox, it will be easy to see how a playset can help your children develop
imagination skills, confidence, coordination, and physical agility.
