Wouldn't it be a huge bummer if that mammoth of a playset wasn't stable or durable to last through the years? This criteria is a big consideration for us when choosing playsets for this Short List. If you're getting a large playset, you're probably spending north of a couple thousand dollars on it. You can also hire playset installers too if that sounds like too much work.

For larger playsets with more components, don't be surprised if it takes you 3-4 full workdays to put everything together. In this category, criteria like quality of directions, total installation time, and space needed for installation are the main things we are looking at. Large playsets have several hundreds of components and thick installation manuals, so being able to make sense of it all is crucial so that you aren't banging your head against a wall after a few hours. Playset installation and setup is a long, arduous process especially if you are doing it by yourself with the help of your wife, husband, or neighbor. Some manufacturers are better than others at the whole shipping process, so this is a big consideration for us as we are writing reviews and choosing playsets to feature here - especially for large playsets with all the bells and whistles. When it comes to this part of the process, we pay particular attention to: making trucking company appointments, taking inventory, dealing with pallets, and the unboxing process.

You could be receiving your playset in as many as 25 different boxes all totaling hundreds of pounds! Your playset will be shipped in freight or LTL shipping and many manufacturers will either offer curbside or "inside" delivery (aka direct to your backyard). The shipping and receiving process for playsets is a daunting process and large playsets make that process even more clunky.
