Built out of the same quality as the entire Gorilla Playsets line, the Mountaineer is one of only three swing sets to offer two slides. This beautiful swing set has all the bells and whistles that kids dream of and parents can afford. This playground requires approximately 33' x 22' as a necessary safety zone. The actual dimensions of the playset is 23' x 12' and sits at 11' in height. All activities center around the fort area. The fort area provides just over 24 square feet and sits 5' above the ground. The fort can be accessed by the angled safety ladder, ramp entry with rope or the rope climbing ladder. Once in the fort, your kids can exit the way they came up or choose one of the two slides to race down. Your kids will find the tic tac toe panel and telescope under the tongue and grove wood roof. The deck provides cover for both the sand box and picnic table. On those hot summer days, kids can take a lunch break at the picnic table to get out of the sun. Off of the play deck, the Mountaineer provides a 3 position swing beam. This playset comes standard with to belt swings and a trapeze bar. These standard accessories can be swapped out for any other Gorilla swing or trapeze.
While this swing set has all the accessories any child would want, lets not forget that this is an investment and parents need to make sure they are not only getting a safe playground but a good value.
