- I had a tremendous amount of fun creating this time-lapse for your viewing pleasure. I hope you like it as much as me. Also, feel free to see my channel where you can see more details about each day of the build. Enjoy!!!
Your kids will remember this for ever man me all that time you put into this pretty amazing best dad on the block for sure
That was amazing and inspiring. Great work and thank you for sharing!!
I like the jig you built for quickly cutting the bolsters to length.
Great Job! I bet you made some kids very happy :) Dad for the WIN!
Nice video!! this was a joy to watch in class
All this without the use of a nail gun either, truly impressive.
I still don’t understand why people use nail guns when they have unlimited time for projects. Screws developed specifically for fastening wood to wood are infinitely superior to even HD nails in nearly every way and can be removed with ease.
Couldn’t tell if you bought treated lumber, but he only thing I would have added is two coats of “weatherall” paint for water proofing.
Superior job sir. If every house in America was built with that level of care they’d last 75 years easily.
Thank you 🙏🙏 I wanted to make it stand the test of time for my kids, or for the next family. Some lumber is pressure treated and some is not. Building it near the beginning of COVID meant limited supplies.
What a Dad!! Freaking badass man
Man I wish my hubby was THIS handy! Haha he’d rather pay someone to do it😂😂👏🏾
I wasn’t always this handy. Time and dedication can make anything happen :)
That playground looks fun! Really good job, I would like to know the dimensions, materials and tools you need.
Congratulations it looks amazing 👍
RyobI impact drill, circular saw, miter saw, jig saw, belt sander, orbital sander, drill, speed square, levels, chalk line, tape measure. Lots of 2x4s, deck screws, cement. My video at the end can be screenshot for the plans, the scale is one 1/4” box = 6”. Also, I have 8 or 9 other videos that go into more depth about building it.
This is awesome. Well done
This is so awesome
Class, great work
🙏🙏
I love this. Could you tell me the dimensions? I have a decent sized backyard but would love to have a small playground in the back
Here’s a link to my sketches on Google Drive drive.google.com/file/d/1HIM17xp3HmWfiBNWQdDVAiKRzF9y8EeV/view?usp=drivesdk
Outstanding work. One question, how do you know if it will holds up? especially the top floor, do you need an engineer to get those details first?
What kind of question is this? He's not putting household furniture in the playhouse.
After initially putting the bracing and flooring in, he and his buddies had a wild keg party with taking turns body slamming each other on the top level. At the end of it all he decided if 1500 pounds of WWF punishment wasn't going through, it should be safe for his two kids and a few of their friends. 😂
No engineer needed, good planning and plenty of fasteners 👍👍
As handy as you are, is there a feud going between you and your neighbor in the background? It seems if I had kids, I would get a potential tree that is obviously in need of removing dealt with. I'd hate to have my son crushed under it. 😢
The neighbor refused to clean it up… She was less than helpful. The tree was fully on her property prior to falling. The likelihood of it ever falling more into our property was less than 1% chance. If anything it would fall back into her property. It’s hard to see from this video’s angles. At this point, it doesn’t matter we’ve all moved from that house about a year ago.
Hey could you help me out?
How much did you put in between each border spindle?
I am trying to figure out how many to buy and appropriate safety so my kids won’t fall through. Thanks!
Honestly, I made sure the kids heads wouldn’t fit. I think they were 4” O.C.
@@papacreaky thanks! That’s helpful. 4” seems like good spacing
Would love a list of materials! Trying to replicate this!
Wish I could share one with you. A lot of planning was on scrap paper, so I’ve lost those over the years.
At the end of the video it shows my schematic drawings on graph paper. I think my scale is on it. It’s mostly 2x4s, 4x4 posts, plywood, 1x1 balusters, and buckets of deck nails. You might be able to count out the numbers of lumber you need from screenshots of the video. Good luck!
Perfect 😍😍 May I know what type of wooden that you used ?
Mostly pressure treated. Lumber was pretty scarce at the beginning of the pandemic.
How much did that cost
Good morning!question, did you use 2x4 to build the top and bottom platforms? And how high from the ground is the top deck?
At 11:36 I show my orthographic side sketches. The scale is 1 box = 6 inches or ~15cm
Hey, does anyone here know if your platform height is off by a few inches from 5ft, then can it still work with a slide designed for a 5ft platform?
My platform was not exactly the right height for the slide. It was a little shorter by a couple of inches. The plastic was flexible enough to still work. I also slightly dug the ground out at the bottom of the slide to help level it. Hope that helps!
@@papacreaky yes that helps! Thanks!
Can you share how much the whole project costed you?
Around $1200, prices were higher at the beginning of the pandemic.
Is water pooling an issue with the flat floor surfaces?
I’d get a little pooling, but I also built it with the slightest pitch for it to drain off the side. The Rock Solid coating prevented damage.
What did it end up costing you?
Hard to remember now. I think all said and done it was somewhere between $1,100 and $1,400. That’s 2020 prices which were a bit higher because of the shortages, but could be similar now due to inflation. 🤷🏼♂️ Sorry I can’t be more help.
How long are the 4x4?
If I remember correctly, I think 10ft.
how long were the 4x4 please and thank u
4” x 4” x 10’
did you bury the 4x4s 2ft or 1ft under the ground@@papacreaky
About 1.5’
About 8k worth of lumber right there
The project materials, not including tools, cost around $1800 back in 2020.
Can you put the material list?
Wish I could. I don’t have the list anymore. At the end of the video I showed my scaled orthographic drawings. Might be tedious, but you could count the number of 2x4, 2x6, 4x4, and plywood. Also, my day one video shows me stacking everything up before tarping it.
@@papacreaky no worries at all I do appreciate it nice build
COST?
Without accounting for new power tools, I’d have to estimate from memory that it was about $900. Lumber prices spiked at the beginning of the pandemic.
