We bought the boys swings over a year ago, but lost the trees we planned to use. Next we set our sights on one of those large multi-story wooden activities centers that are all the rage now. They can be quite pricey when purchased new, but can be picked up second hand in very good condition at a fraction of the cost. Apparently, when children outgrow them, parents will practically give the behemoths away in order to regain their yards. Last fall, we encounter several of these units at yard sales, but have not found a suitable one this year. Today Sandy ran across this simple old A-frame for just five dollars. These were the standard swing sets when we were toddlers. While we continue looking for a modern unit, this will get us swinging, and we can always resale it to recapture our investment.
