Play at Home
Awesome. Now you can put the playground in your backyard without breaking the bank. Affordable, easy to assemble and great quality. Also big enough for older kids too!

Great quality!
It is very sturdy! My son loves it. The quality is great and it's easy to assemble. We cemented it into the ground for extra stability.

Autism mom approved ✅
We needed a swing-set that would be strong enough to support my two boys—ages 8 and 10–for years to come. I spent weeks reading reviews and landed on Big Brutus. It arrived quickly and I was able to put the whole thing together by myself except for my husband helping me stand it up and put it in place. My son is autistic and swinging is the only way he self-regulates. He spends hours on his new swing everyday and swings HIGH. It doesn’t budge, even with both boys swinging at the same time. The sturdy construction and support anchors are incredible. I highly recommend this swing, especially if you’re looking for a set that will grow with your kids. 10/10 best purchase I’ve ever made.

Great swing
Got this on the hottest day of the year and put it this together in my shop. Grandson loved it. Had to take apart to get it out but live and learn. Excellent swing set definitely heavy duty and well built.

Great purchase
My kids love this! Finally a swing set that is tall enough to get good swing motion. It's solid construction. I have no concerns about my 3 kids being on it at the same time. And the ground anchors are very secure - it's not going anywhere. Great for big kids and kids-at-heart.

Fits my kids
My kids had a small wooden swing set that lasted for 11 years. Because it was wood, it was starting to really weather and had some bees interesting in it. We needed to upgrade for my 11 year old to be able to still swing. This new set fits the bill. It can hold both of my kids well and they have plenty of space. The swing is sturdy and my kids both love it. Everyone comments on how big it is, but it doesn't take up much more space than our old one did, and it is taller, giving the kids more height definitely worth the purchase. Easy to assemble

Sturdy & Easy to Put Together
Bought for my two growing kids and I have been impressed with how sturdy it is, looks great and feels safe. Only took about 2-3 hours to build with one other person and didn't find any piece of install too difficult. Very pleased with our purchase.

Best addition to our backyard!
We added Big Brutus to our backyard about a month ago and are extremely happy with our purchase. The kids use the set 5-7 days a week. It took two adults about 2 hours to set it up and the instructions were very straightforward. We love the swings and trapeze bar. We have also purchase come cocoon swings and ninja twisters that have quick change abilities. You can tell the quality is top notch and since it was so simple to assemble, we already know if we moved we would take it with us. Highly recommend! Oh also, we received it within 2 days of purchase which was super exciting.

Big Brutus
I am very pleased with this swingset. The price was good and it’s quite attractive. We have placed it at the edge of the woods. It was a little bit difficult to install because the woods is on an incline. But the children love it, and it is very sturdy! I highly recommend this for a tall swingset. That will be fun even as my grandchildren get a little older. I will try to attach a photo. we are able to easily attach and remove the baby swing when needed. We just hook it onto the chain. The babies enjoy holding onto the rings while they swing.

Just buy it
Just buy it! This is a solid swing set. My 11 and 8 year old love it, both swing at the same time and it doesn’t budge. Super easy to put together, my husband is not handy at all and had no complaints while putting it together. I wish I found it sooner and saved money from all the crappy ones I purchased in the past.

Perfect swingset for older kids!
I was nervous buying a swingset since most are for younger kids. I have a pretty big 10 year old and an average 7 year old. This swingset is perfect for them. My 16 year old has fun on it as well. Feels very sturdy. My husband ended up anchoring it some other way because the anchors didn’t make sense. Plenty big for adult swinging. Very happy we purchased this!

Perfect to grow with if you don’t want a slide
Debated between this and Lifetime Monkey Bars units because I wanted metal (I would never ever refinish the wood) and a high climbing bar. Ultimately, hemmed and hawed for a while because I didn’t care for the slide so Voila! This plus a climbing dome gave me exactly what I wanted. Free of maintenance and will have many years of use before it’s outgrown. 4 stars instead of 5 because the anchors were a pain to install in our rocky, clay yard.

Impressive Quality!
Bought this for my daughter's birthday. Took only a couple hours to setup, straightforward and easy. I used cement to secure the footings, out of an abundance of caution. Used horse stall mats for padding underneath. I ended up buying some 3rd party toddler seats, for no problem. I tested myself, and I'm 6' tall 210 lb. I really got some air, and had to stop from going too high! This thing is a beast!

Great design
This was for the grandkids but the adults sure are enjoying it! Built very sturdy and worth every penny if “big” people are going to use it too. Easy to assemble using 2 people and done in about an hour.

Big strong swing set!
I bought this for my 10-year-old grandson who has autism. He loves to climb and swing. This swing set provides the size and stability he needs for rough and daring play!! I am a 69-year old woman and was able to pre-assemble the whole thing - just needing help from my son to tip it up, place it, and anchor it. The instructions were great! I am VERY happy with this purchase and expect my grandson will be using it well into his teen years and maybe beyond. To be honest, I’ve done some high swinging on it myself. This purchase is well worth the money!!

Fix the anchors!
Installation was a breeze... right up until the end. Connecting the anchors to the feet before you put them in the ground (as indicated in the directions) makes it literally impossible to get the anchors into the ground (a difficult enough task in a vacuum!). The anchors are designed to essentially be screwed into the ground, which you can't do if they're already bolted to the feet. It's absolutely crazy that an otherwise good product has such a fatal flaw. We've been praying for rain and then trying to some get the anchors in the ground to such a perfect degree that we can then bolt them to the feet. Needless to say, not a reasonable situation. The only reason we didn't return it is because we constructed the entire set before realizing the flaw, and who wants to disassemble the whole thing right after putting it together. What a nightmare.
