    Hiding Christmas Present Construction from kids - How long to assemble a Swing Set?

    Honestly, that one looks easy.

    The swing and monkey bar will just be attached by bolts at the top (and probably per assembled otherwise) and the Aframes look pretty simple.

    I'm not sure if starting to put it together would help. For instance, it lookalike the Aframes slides into the top and you bolt the cross bar on - so you can't really do it beforehand.

    Maybe get it out and see how the instructions are and make sure all the bits are there and work out what you can per assemble.

    I put a similar one together for a friend recently and it took about 2 hours.

    Good luck!

    E has a two station one that is essentially the same as that. Took us less than am hour to out together.
    Te hardest part was sorting it out with e helping. That one may have more time taken due to the two kidlet seat though. Bit it wouldn't be much...

    Ours didn't take very long to assemble. Dh and BIL did it on Christmas Eve. I took the kids out after tea to get some ice cream, then for a play in the park. When it got dark we had a look for done Christmas lights then took them home, because it was dark they couldn't even see the swing set all set up in the yard.
