Playset assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the playset size, material, and number of features. A small metal A-frame swing set sits at the lower end. Standard timber playsets with a swing and slide are mid-band. Large multi-feature play towers (fort, slide, swing, climbing wall, monkey bars), big cubby houses, and combination structures sit at the top. We send fixed quotes based on the specific playset you're building. Send a product link and we'll send a price that holds. Larger playset builds may include a second builder; the build can be too long and too heavy for one person.

All major playset types sold in New Zealand. Swing sets (timber and metal, A-frame and tower configurations), jungle gyms, climbing frames, cubby houses and playhouses, fort-and-slide combinations, multi-feature play towers, monkey bars, rope ladders, and the plastic playsets from brands like Little Tikes and Step2. Brand-wise: Plum, Lifespan Kids, Vuly, Rebo, Backyard Discovery, Mocka, Treetop, KidKraft, Little Tikes, Step2, and most NZ playset retailers. If your playset is from somewhere not listed, send a link.

Yes. Swing sets are a frequent playset assembly need. We handle every swing set format including standalone A-frame swing sets, tower-mounted swings, glider swings (the kind with two facing seats), and tyre-swing attachments. Swings hang on chains or ropes that we cut to the correct length, attach to the swing hangers, and test through their full arc to make sure they swing clear of the frame and each other.

Yes. Cubby houses are a frequent playset assembly need, and we assemble both timber and plastic cubby houses, including the Mocka cubby range, plastic cubbies (Little Tikes, Step2), and the larger fort-style playhouses that often come with slides and climbing walls attached. The build follows the manufacturer's manual; for timber cubbies, we torque every bolt to spec so the structure doesn't develop play as kids climb and lean on it.

Yes. We assemble all the major playset brands sold in New Zealand. Plum (timber and metal play centres), Lifespan Kids (climbers, swing sets, cubbies, monkey bars), Vuly (premium playsets), Rebo (timber play centres), Backyard Discovery (large multi-feature timber sets), Mocka (cubby houses and play furniture), Treetop, KidKraft, and the imported plastic ranges (Little Tikes, Step2). Each brand has its own assembly system, but the manuals are well-documented and we work from them page by page.

Yes, where the playset ships with an anchor kit or you request one. Playsets need to be anchored to the ground to handle the lateral forces kids put on them. Most playsets ship with ground anchor kits (screw-in or stake-in spikes attached to the frame at multiple points). If your playset didn't come with anchors and you'd like aftermarket anchors fitted, mention it when you book.

No. Soft-fall surfacing (bark chip, mulch, rubber matting, sand) is a separate landscape job and needs to be done either before we arrive or after we leave. If you're laying it after, we'll position the playset where you want it so the soft fall can be installed around the footprint. For the surface itself, you'll need a landscaper, or you can DIY with bark chip from a garden centre. The manufacturer's manual usually specifies the recommended fall depth.

Depends on the playset. A small A-frame metal swing set is usually 2 to 3 hours. A standard timber swing set with two swings and a slide runs 4 to 6 hours. A multi-feature play tower with fort, swings, slide, climbing wall, and monkey bars can take a full day, sometimes longer. Cubby houses range from a couple of hours (plastic) to a full day (large timber). We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote.

Yes, playsets can be disassembled and rebuilt at a new address. Metal swing sets come apart cleanly with the same fittings they went together with. Timber playsets are more involved because the timber components are heavier and the joins can be tighter, but they disassemble in reverse order. We label the components, bag the fittings, and pad the panels for transit. At the new address, we re-anchor to the new ground.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with the retailer. Playset kits routinely ship with a small surplus of fittings, but structural pieces (frame timbers, swing-set rails, slide sections) need to be exact. If a structural piece is missing or damaged, the build stops until the replacement is in hand. For playsets specifically, we won't leave a structurally incomplete unit in service. Kids will use it the moment it's up.

All of Auckland. North Shore, Central, East, West, South, Manukau, Howick, Pakuranga, Albany, the Hibiscus Coast, and the rural fringes. Out-of-city jobs are quoted with a small travel allowance. If you're outside our usual range, ask anyway.

Sometimes for smaller playsets, depending on our schedule that week. A small swing set or plastic cubby is easier to slot in. Larger timber playsets and multi-feature towers may need a couple of days' lead time because they're full-day builds. Weather affects the schedule too. We don't build playsets in heavy rain or strong wind, since timber gets slippery and lifting heavy frame sections in gusty conditions isn't safe. If we have to reschedule for weather, we rebook as early as possible.
