plum swing set at b&q. Cheapest I can find elsewhere is £350. Delivery costs a tenner but still over a £100 cheaper than the other shops!

I got this the last time the deal was posted, about a month ago. Its a great quality product and my 5 year old loves it. Highly recommended from me.

How easy to assemble?

4 hours, 2 man job. Not difficult if you have (and can use) spanners, sockets, drill, screwdriver and level. I assembled ours on my own which meant balancing the platform on chairs and bits of wood while I screwed it in. Definitely want a second person.

Old timers will remember a certain wooden garden toys deal from B&Q....

Haha. Same here the only hard bit was the balancing of the platform for the slide. Started at 6pm right into the night so about 4 hours. An impact driver with hex head attachment was very useful. Little one absolutely loves it worth the money. Not worth the 499 asking on amazon or plum site

Anyone know where to get a decent one that will take adult weight?

I started looking a few weeks ago and the price significantly jumps, but it's all about the ropes / chains. Check out BraveToys, they do quite a range but they don't look as good being metal. These plum ones are rated between 50-60kg, but if you change the ropes the frame would take more weight. I opted for the kids swings in the end given how much I'd end up using it, suppose I've got to grow up at some point :neutral_face:

I ordered the Orang-Utan one a month or two ago for £207 from here (don't forget Quidco @ 1% - it's a free coffee).
I erected it myself, it took circa 3.5 hours I'd say but I'm not the best DIYer so could be done in less time I expect - most of the time spent is in diligence, measuring rather than fighting with it.
It's very sturdy and I can easily swing on it (70kg) alongside 2 kids <5. For <5's there would be no need IMO to concrete it, obviously for older kids swining in unison you'd need the anchors on.
For anybody wondering, I attached my gym extensions to the set easily and can do chins etc with no issue on it. We also picked up some addition accessories (trapeze/UFO swing thing) from Aldi last weekend for £5.99 that are of good quality, i'm sure they will have stock still.
