Just moved to the county from a loft downtown about a year ago. Bought an older home that needs some work, and happened upon a 15 year old playset that the neighbors were happy to be rid of. Found a warm home with us, and two super excited kids to play on it for years to come. It was showing it's age and needed a bit of re-building. I replaced the lower base supports with ground contact rated wood, replaced all of the rusted out hardware (basically every piece on the playset) with stainless steel, sanded and stained the wood with two coats of stain, and spray painted all of the metal parts. Oh, and also spray painted the rocks for the climbing wall. Great addition to the yard. I cant keep the kids off it!
