Awesome. Have you had a go at the slide? Admit it - you want to.

I bought and built a JunglemGym frame about 4 years ago and it's still like new now.

I can't remember how much we paid, I think around £1000 inc delivery.

Easy to build and is modular.

More photos on my Flickr if you click the picture above.
Likewise bought a Jungle Gym thingie, similar to the pic but with a second tower. No sign of rot, barely any discolouring on the wood. Took a lifetime to put together, but was well worth it. There's no reason tannalised / pressure treated timber shouldn't keep on going for well beyond when the kids leave home.

I would be worried that the cats will use all that sand as a litter tray...

overall it took me 3 full days on my own , the yellow tube slide was a real nightmare trying to bolt up on my own as was fitting the roof sections , however very impressed with the build quality and no parts or bolts missing .....apart from the few that ended up in the sand pit .

certainly the kids are using it every day

Excellent work. You should be very proud of yourself.
