Jack's Backyard

Custom Designed

I do not sell play equipment, however, I do offer consultations on what will be the best for your children, your yard, and your wallet. It’s likely this is just one of many internet stops in your search for a backyard playset. They all sort of blend together and you can’t be sure if what you find will fit in your yard, if it’s rugged enough for a big family, or if you can put it together when it arrives. You can always go to your local big dog playset maker, but remember, a salesman from one of these big play equipment companies works on a commission.(7-10% of the sale)

The Endeavor Redwood Fort/ Swingset

After 10 years and 100's of happy families, I can offer  a wealth of expertise for building a quality made piece of backyard fun. I offer information on custom designs or offer inspections on new or used equipment you are considering buying. Use my experience to avoid buying too much or not enough and to help determine what's best for your family. Whether you decide to use one of my design's or buy another, when my consultation is complete, you'll feel comfortable knowing play equipment wasn't stuffed down your throat while filling my pockets. I will be working for you.

"NEW" The Challenger Redwood Swingset/ Fort  "NEW"

I give you options. My consultation includes, a phone interview, a family interview, and a backyard analysis. If your decision is to use one of my designs,  I’ll provide you with a wood list, parts list, and the necessary contacts to acquire these items. The consultation is $75.00. If I build your swingset, I'll apply your fee to the cost of the build

The Apollo Redwood Swingset/ Fort

I offer my designs this way because wood prices are higher than ever, steel cost are up, freight cost are up. I don't buy in volume, therefore my lumber cost, hardware cost, and shipping cost are the same as yours. By making you do some of the leg work. I am giving you a chance to save some money by removing my markup. It also eases my office time and accounting time. Your time involved in ordering these materials will take less than an hour.

The Triton Redwood Fort/ Swingset

Then it's time to put my skilled hands to work and let me prep and assemble your play system for a fee. I offer graduating levels of work enabling you to save money by altering the amount of detail put into your project. Build time can take about 3-6 weeks depending on my schedule. I build playsets one at a time and most of the time, there is a backlog of swingsets waiting to be made.

The Gemini Redwood Fort/ Swingset

Be prepared. If you would like me to build a sturdy custom redwood system, be prepared to spend a minimum of $2000.  I offer four basic designs to build on. The links will take you to galleries showing how diverse the systems are, how much you can expect to spend, and the level of craftsmanship put into each one.

If you're looking here and thinking, "How does this compare with the wood swing set I saw at Sam's, Toy's R Us, or where ever?" Please keep looking, Adventurer. I'm a good ol' American, of Indian ancestry, prideful of what I do. It doesn't compare!

I assure you, these mainstream companies selling equipment made in China, don't care what you say about them. They want your money. They want you to be happy because it's expected. Then go away.
