Built From Cedar for Years of Backyard Play
Backyard Adventures builds its Summit, Outlook, Treehouse and Peak playsets with 100% cedar lumber. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, making it well suited for an outdoor playset that will spend years exposed to the elements.
The wood is paired with water-based stain, while the playsets incorporate construction details designed around durability and everyday family use. Depending on the collection, these features include post-and-beam floor joists, reinforced steel brackets, heavy timbers, commercial-grade swing hangers and marine-grade rope.
Summit, Outlook, Treehouse and Peak playsets are also backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Your Backyard Adventures playset doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. Start with the fort and configuration that fits your yard, then choose the activities that will keep your kids coming back outside.
