Built in Northeast Tennessee · Est. 2018
Childhood memories,
made in your backyard.
Hand-built cedar playsets that pull kids off screens and outside — designed and delivered from Johnson City, Tennessee.
Why this, why now
The screens are winning. Here's how we help families take the afternoons back.
You're a parent watching your kids slide into another tablet hour. The neighborhood park is across town and crowded. A great backyard playset solves both — but the cheap big-box ones rust through one Tennessee winter, and the premium catalogs ship from across the country with zero local support.
Reserve your build slot
We're backordered — that's the honest truth. Tell us your model and timeline, we'll give you a real ship date, and we don't take payment until your build slot is locked in.
Build it yourself, or let us
Self-install kits arrive pre-cut, pre-drilled, and color-coded — most homeowners finish in a weekend. Prefer a turnkey day? Our two-person crew installs anywhere in Northeast Tennessee.
The plan
Pick the playset where your family's next decade of memories starts.
Five sizes for every yard, plus full custom design. Real cedar, safety-compliant builds, and a 10-year wood warranty — so the only thing your kids notice is how much they love being out there.

We don't ship from a warehouse three states away. Every set is built, inspected, and (if you want) installed by people who live within an hour of your house — so the playset that lands in your yard is one we'd put in our own.

Our Ridgeway has been the best thing we've added to our backyard. Three summers in and it still looks brand new. The cedar holds up beautifully through Tennessee winters.

The Ridgeway
We went with the on-site install and it was worth every dollar. They were here at 7 a.m. and finished by sunset. Our girls were swinging that same evening.

The Summit — On-site install
I'm not handy. I was nervous about the kit, but the instructions are genuinely the best I've ever followed. Took me and my brother-in-law a Saturday and a Sunday morning.

The Acorn — Self-install
We worked with them on a custom design for our slope. They figured out a tiered platform we never would have thought of. The kids call it 'the treehouse castle.'
