Top Amazon Reviews


Very Limited
Format: Paperback
I really hate to give any book a negative review, but this book is very short and limited, showing only 4 play structures to build. They each have big moveable sections which are supposed to be fun for kids to rearrange their play structure. It is a good concept but these pieces are big and a kid could get injured very easily by dropping one on themselves or another child. Contrary to the books description, this does NOT include plans on building a climbing net or a climbing rope (which was the main reason I bought it in the first place). The first third of its limited pages tells you "why" you should build a play structure. You probably have a reason why you want to build or you would not be trying to read a book on it. What we want to know is "how" to build one. Thankfully I came back to Amazon and found out there are much better books on the subject like the David Stiles books. Now he knows how to build imaginative play structures, play houses, and tree houses. The book on this page mentions in the beginning how great treehouses are, but has no instructions how to build one in the entire book. If you are in doubt borrow it from the library before buying, otherwise I do not reccommend. ... show more

Have used the play gym plan for twenty years works great
Format: Paperback
We used this book and built the play gym back in 1989, we bought a slide and attached it, and swing seats and it worked great. Also later attached a climbing wall, and tire swing. The only issue we had was with the wood screws on the dowels. It has now served well over twenty children (we are foster parents), much bigger than typical play structures, and more durable. It had removable parts but no one has ever been injured as a previous reviewer was concerned over. Great buy for the money, with projects even a novice like me could follow. ... show more

Useful how to book
Format: Paperback
There are negative reviews for this book. But I found it useful. It's a resource for ideas. If it doesn't include a structure to your liking and you are not inclined to customize or alter any of the structures it does have, then you probably should not be building anything anyway. I customized and built the "Creative Climber" for my daughters. ... show more

While the listing said "New" it was far from it ...
Format: Paperback
While the listing said "New" it was far from it - yellowed pages & bent pages, stuff spilled on cover with spot where you could tell a sticker had been removed. It was obvious it came from a yard sale and passed off as "New".
