Playset & Outdoor Furniture Assembly on San Juan Island

A playset kit is three hundred pieces and a hillside. I've done both before.

Outdoor kits arrive on the island in a pile of boxes and a manual written for flat suburban yards. A wooden playset can take a full day for two people, and very few island yards are flat.

I assemble swing sets and wooden playsets, then level them and anchor them so they don't walk or tip. On a slope, that means leveling the footprint or setting it on blocks, not hoping. I also check that there's enough clear space around swings and slides and that the ground underneath is something softer than rock.

The same goes for everything else outdoors: patio sets, Adirondack chairs, outdoor sectionals, grills, storage boxes, umbrella bases, and small storage shed kits. Grills get assembled and set up; gas connections to a tank are the simple screw-on kind. Anything plumbed to a gas line is a gas fitter's job.

For indoor flat-pack, see furniture assembly.
