Blue Ridge Overlook

What We Like About This Swing Set

You can expect a pair of swings and a slide on just about any swing set; the Blue Ridge Overlook doubles as a bona fide sailing vessel. The telescope mounted on the main fort will have the kids scoping out neighborhood threats - like some of those larger dogs or older siblings. Together with a navigation wheel, you've got everything needed to point the stern towards the North Star. A 10-foot wave slide will mean most mutinous sailors will gladly walk the plank.

The safety features not seen in other swing sets are plenty. Powder-coated chains prevent pinched fingers and tangles; a knotted rope to assist the rock climb; safety handles; heavy-duty swing seats and slides. A rowdy child is going to need supervision and instruction while playing on any swing set, but these safety features will help you focus on encouraging fun instead of governing play.

The Blue Ridge Overlook swing set kit includes everything you'll need for summer fun and assembles in about five hours. All the ACQ pine comes stained, sealed, cut and drilled to precise measurements, which makes for a swing set equal in safety for both parents and children. The structural beams are maintenance-free and poly-coated for years of strength and good looks. Plus, since it is a wide, free-standing design, you won't have to dig holes or place bracing stakes for support. The swing set comes with a step-by-step, 3-D illustrated instruction booklet.
