Swing Set Plans

Are you looking to build a swing set yourself? It’s not as hard as you may think – just read the article to get a basic idea of what you need to do.

If you have already done it, you know it’s time to look for swing set plans. You can of course design your own, but if you have no experience, it’s better to download or buy plans designed by someone else.

I have collected the best links I could found and I am giving them to you here with some comments.

Here are some plans

Detailed Play Plans offers several detailed plans for complex play sets. You can download a prospect of the plans for free in PDF format.

Some very good wooden swing plans are available at all4thekids.com at low prices – most are less than $20 per plan. Their plans include a bill of materials as well.

FREE! This link goes directly a free PDF swing set plan. It’s only one, but asks no money.

If all you need is to build a simple swing set these plans are exactly what you need and cost only $12 each.

Extraordinary and probably not what you are looking for, but anyway I’d like to share it – this is sold for $9. Honestly I would prefer to swing myself instead of the plans, but everyone is different.

Some cheap plans (most under $10) for canopy and adult swing sets can be found at Woodcraft, and again there. They also have a funny plan for toddler swing.

FREE! Very simple, but free plan that can be printed can be seen here.

If the free plans listed here don’t suit you, better spend few bucks and buy some plans – less than $20 is a good price. Some sell plans for $50+ which in my opinion is a bit too much. But spending hours searching for free swing set plans is not a very good idea – believe me, I have spent enough hours already to find free plans for you.

You can keep an eye to this site and subscribe by RSS because I plan to publish some free plans and more guides on building swing sets here pretty soon.
