Materials List
Qty 1 - 10 ft 4x6 Lumber
This is one of the most common, readily available sizes--no cutting by you needed! (The most typical "4x6" lumber will measure approximately 3 1/2" by 5 1/2", and will fit the brackets. It should not measure a true 4.0" by 6.0".)
​
Qty 4 - 10 ft 4x4 Lumber
This is one of the most common, readily available sizes--no cutting by you needed! (The most typical "4x4" lumber will measure approximately 3 1/2" by 3 1/2", and will fit the brackets. It should not measure a true 4.0" by 4.0".)
​
Qty 2 - 6 ft 4x4 Lumber
This is for the horizontal cross pieces on the legs. Suggest buying one 12 foot 4x4 board and having the hardware store chop it into two for you.

Hardware Kit of Bolts
Complete 80-Piece kit of all bolts, washers, and nuts needed to build this swing set. All pieces are "galvanized" rather than "common zinc". Includes hardware for making swing set with 3 swings. Consider this kit as it will cost you less than half of sourcing the same galvanized hardware from your hardware store, Amazon, or any other online provider. In fact, consider this kit even if you plan to use the cheaper "common zinc" hardware, as the kit will still cost you less than sourcing that hardware from the hardware store. Additionally, the 4 1/2" and 7" bolts are difficult to source in galvanized material.
You can purchase the Hardware Kit from room2zoom.com. Here is the Link.
The Hardware Kit contains all the following hardware:
Qty 4 - Carriage Bolt 3/8 x 4 1/2"
Qty 4 - Hex Lag Screw 3/8" x 6"
Qty 12 - Hex Bolt 3/8" x 7"
