Play Fort Swing Set How-to Book; Paper Pattern Plan to DIY and Easily Build Large Wood Yard Playground

I bought these plans because I didn't want to put too much thinking into what I needed to buy and how to put this together. Sure I know I could have searched around and found plans elsewhere on the internet and that is probably what I should have done. I was going to modify these plans anyway, because I just wanted to build a swing set initially and add the fort later. Well, as soon as I got started on the swing set beam brace I found out the bolt size and countersink measurements were wrong. I corrected my issue by buying a longer bolt and not doing a countersink, but I have to cut two more boards because I ruined the first two by following these bad plans. I really don't think the person ever built this swing set and just compiled these plans. So, as I proceed through the project I will be careful on blindly following these instructions. There is some value with these plans but I would not recommend that you buy them.

Bought this for my granddaughters birthday and she loves it and we got to pick the wood for about 550 and all options and 2 day we got it all done

looks very comprehensive.

I thought this would be an actual book with detailed, well illustrated graphics of each piece and step.In reality, this is an envelope of instructions on loose leaf printer paper that appear to have been designed in Microsoft Word. The instructions say to 'simply' do things, as illustrated by whichever picture, but the pictures aren't all super easy to figure out, even with some woodworking and construction experience. I appreciate that the creator of this took the time to make the instructions, but they definitely need help with phrasing instructions to be more clear.I would not have paid over $15 for this had I realized what I was getting.
