Specifications:

The Discovery fort is 5' x 5' (deck floor) and rests approximately 5 feet off the ground. It's designed for children under the age of 12 and can support over 250lbs! All-bolt construction (no nails to work loose), patented bracketing system, 4x4 framing and other strengthening features are used to insure the strongest sturdiest 'Build-it-Yourself' playset. Anchor rods and/or supports are never needed with Gorilla Playset Kits.

The Discovery's dimensions are 17'W x 8'L x 10'H (17' x 13' x 10' with slide). A six foot safety-zone perimeter is recommended around our playsets (3 feet minimum). The ladder steps are wide and flat designed around our powder-coated 14 gauge brackets (hardware included). Our swing belts and chains are 'extra-duty', near commercial grade, and are plastisol coated to prevent pinching of the skin or fingers. Each kit has an easy to follow 3D illustrated manual.

Jason P. ★★★★★

The electro-galvanized hardware feels way sturdier than the price suggested, and every bracket and spring clip lined up perfectly with the lumber I cut. Took an afternoon to assemble, but the swingbeam hangers are solid and nothing wobbles. Just remember you're only getting the metal parts.

James Y. ★★★★★

Wasn't sure what to expect ordering just the hardware, but everything showed up bagged and labeled by section, which made the build way less of a headache. The spring clips snapped right onto the hangers and the swingbeam brackets lined up perfectly with my 4x6 beam. Two weekends later and the whole

Owen H. ★★★★★

The electro-galvanized brackets and hangers feel solid and rust-resistant, so I'm confident this frame will last for years. Having just the hardware kit let me pick my own lumber and customize the height. Exactly what we needed for a sturdy backyard fort.
