  1. The Tucson looks amazing and exactly what my grandson would love – the price is also the best I have seen anywhere else.  Heck it would likely make him the envy of the neighborhood. You have written a great review.  I know you said the area is a bit small and the canopy is flimsy.  However Im curious to know how the rest of it maintains.  I just want to make sure the slides arent going to fall or we arent going to have screws sticking out. I look forward to your answer. Dale

    • You will need to follow the instructions step by step to ensure there are no screws sticking out and a maintenance program is provided when delivered to ensure it will last a great number of years. Please keep this in a safe place as you will need to use it when the times comes – many thanks for your question.

  2. Hey Ryan. I must confess you did a fabulous job with this review. It is very comprehensive and well detailed. Thanks alot for this awesome information about backyard discovery Tucson swing set as I have been unsure about going ahead with it or not. I do not have the cash to spend over 1k – something for less than 400 is what I am after and this looks like it will be ideal for the kids. The backyard discovery Tucson swing set is one of the best swing I have ever seen + the price is quite affordable, thanks also for the awesome safety zone dimension info
