Editorial Review: Product Description: Detailed Plans & Step-By-Step Instructions For Building Swing Set, Monkey Bars, Balance Beam, Playhouse, Teeter-Totter, Sandboxes, Kid-Sized Picnic Table & A Play Tower That Supports A Slide, 200 Color Photos & Illustrations. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Get Ready for a lot of work (It's worth it)With my 10% off at the lumber yard I purchased material to build everything in this book for $1100 and $125 on bolts. Yes it's only one plan but it's as strong as a house. The book includes a nice three level tower, a swing beam that will probably support my truck, a 10' tall doll house, sand box, sea-saw, balance beam, oh and a monkey bar. Following all the advise on sanding, routering the timber, pre-staining will result in a beautiful play ground. Why i did not give it 5 stars. Well you do ... Read More Rating:  - A good book, but......it only has one design for each component. We were hoping for a book that had several designs in it (at least for a play yard). The play yard plan included is the one you see on the front of the book. It also includes one plan each for a playhouse, covered sandbox, balance beam, picnic table, and teeter-totter. The book is still VERY helpful on tools needed, wood to choose and other basics, but the materials lists and such won't work if you aren't going to build exactly what's in the book. Rating:  - Good How-to for Beginner Backyard BuildersWe were originally interested in this book for an easy, sturdy way to build a seesaw, but the plans for a complete gym set and surrounding equipment were easy to follow, also. The materials list and cutting guides are excellent and we had little to no waste. There were plenty of illustrations and our projects came out super! More advanced builders might find the simplicity tedious and the projects limited, but for a beginner trying to save a few bucks by doing-it-yourself, it was great. Rating: - Good in some aspects, but lacking in others.If you are looking for a book which features plans for multiple types of play yards, then this is not the book for you. The book does have some redeming features, however. The first couple of chapters discuss basics such as useful tools, pros and cons of different materials, and standard safety practices. It was these first few chapters which I found very useful as I began to design a play yard for my children. The rest of the book describes how to build the play yard featured on the book's ... Read More Rating:  - no selection of structuresI was very dissapointed with this book. It only has one "master" plan which includes a climbing structure, slide and swingset. The "optional" plans are simply the elimination of one of the master plan segments (e.g. without the swingset). Also, the plan is quite elaborate and expensive to build. It may be good for a church or school, but more than a typical family could undertake or afford.
