The story behind the Triton
​Do-it-Yourself Swingset Plans

The Triton Fort/ Swingset was my second fort design and not a typical frankenstein fort. After making several of the initial Endeavor designs, the Drozd family comes along and wants a bigger taller play structure than the Endeavor for their country home. The challenge was presented and the first Triton was introduced into the swingset world. Initially it was called the, "big fort". Can you feel the creative flow? This design specifically made for the Drozd family ended up being the fort made to replace the Frankie Swingset I sold from under my son's nose. You can see his smiling face with a group of his neighborhood friend's to the left. I won't lie, I sold this one too.

Don't judge me. He's had about 20 forts and swingsets in his life. The family who bought that first "big fort" sent a friend my way and I made another one and another and each time one was made, the design was refined. Like the Endeavor, word traveled fast and the Triton Wooden Playset became very popular.

Over the years, I'd put together many DIY kits for families and found the instructions to be difficult at times. It occurred to me that knowledge was power! I could utilize my experience to write a plan for a clean, easy to build, easy to move, and inexpensive playset. The Triton plans have ended up being my flapship do-it-yourself fort/ swingset design and have made many families happy around the world.

Designed in my backyard for bigger yards and greater adventures.. The Triton build your own playset was born in Houston, TX. ("Space City USA") While American astronauts and the endeavors they represent inspired me, I named this one after the largest moon of Neptune. When I was a kid, planets didn't have moons. Too cool and what a great name! Once you see your child rocket through the galaxy, 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. This playset plan is the most versatile and provides the best options for add-ons that appeal to older climbers.

Home made wooden playsets and swingsets, while designed and built with the best intentions, are under or over-engineered, made with entrapment areas, exposed bolts, or inferior hardware. Why do more work than you have to? All of my DIY playset plans are refined for simplicity and voluntarily meet or exceed all safety standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
