This is a play area in a box. Install could possibly be made easier, but still awesome.
When opening this kit you get a ton of items, nets, swings, strap, your ratchet strap. It's a very well thought out kit and installation overall is rather simple, I believe you have about 80' worth of strap, I only ended up needing about 60' so the rest is rolled up. Spacing out the different items at a spacing that would allow for a kid of around 7 ages to swing from obstacle to obstacle ended up being around 20" as recommended by the instructions. The only pain is sliding every single one of these metal brackets down the length of 80' worth of strap. There is a technique that makes it easier. Pinch the metal bracket with two fingers in one hand and let the strap hang loose, then pull on the slack all the way down. These brackets are a pain, but once its all tightened up it keeps your obstacles from sliding around while the kids are playing on them. Another thing to consider is even with this strap tightened all the way down as far ass the ratchet will do, there will be significant slack when someone climbs onto or starts swinging from one of the obstacles. I ended up hanging this very high up, about 10' up to keep the bottoms from dragging on the ground when she's hanging off of it. A couple of things to note, the strap stitching isn't all that incredible, pulling by hand I can expose the threads, so length of service these straps will offer over time is up in the air. The strap itself is one of the thinner that I've seen with outside get such as slack lines or similar play sets, you wouldn't notice a difference until you look at them side by side or have installed several of these.Overall though and even considering the negatives this is an awesome kit, because my daughter loves it, and after hanging on it myself ( 235lbs ) to test it, it held my weight easily...so I'm confident about it safety wise until I start seeing any stitching coming loose.
