Hi,

Quick quesiton. We are finally going to get a swing set for the kiddies...we are looking at Rainbow play systems because they will come install it and my husband can't. (Specifically we are looking at teh Sunshine II loaded or the Rainbow II loaded.)

Anyway - do you know who is competition for Rainbow that I could also check what they have?

Any suggustions when it comes to buying a swing set?

This is soooo expensive...I don't want to make a wrong call with it.

PS: Any ideas on deals or others places greatly apprecaited!!

Try Costco, BJ's or Sam's Club if you have one near you. If you don't have a membership, you can probably find a friend who does or get a 'one day pass'. These may not be the 'Rainbow' brand, but they are good quality. At one time, Costco carried a low end Rainbow that had a different name on it (like a subdivision of Rainbow or something like that -- a friend of mine had one).

There's nothing special about assembling a play set except that it takes a very long time because there are so many pieces. You could always hire a local handy man to assemble it for you. Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse and Home Depot sell play sets and I think, at least Home Depot, will also install it for you through their 'At Home Services'.

We had a playset from BJ's Warehouse at our previous house. We sold it (for a steal) to our next door neighbor we moved because DH was too lazy to take it apart and move it. My kids didn't really play on it much, anyway (they were 3 & 6 at the time). DH promised the kids a tree house at our new house, but we've been here a year now and still no tree house <ugh>.

Amen! We got the one from Costco summer before last Tons of bolts and screws took dh and df two weekends and they both are very handy we actually moved it with us last june very sturdy, but I am sure you could hire a handyman to do it. You may even be able to find out who assembled it at Sams or Costco and pay them on the side. Although the guy we talked to as Costco said he would never do it again lol. They have the same type system at Sams this year and it looks really cool.!
