Part 2: Pros and Cons to note

Sportspower Almansor Swing Set Pros

You are buying from a trusted brand as this Sportspower product meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards

The manual not only includes the assembly, but also includes great suggestions on how to keep the swing set properly maintained which prolongs its shelf life

The tubing on the frame is strong, tough and hard wearing and comes powder coated protection against poor weather conditions

All the steel tubing is predrilled and the instructions are excellent, well laid out and easy to follow

The swing chains have the plastic coating to protect children’s hands from finger pinching

Your kids can enjoy jumping, gliding, sliding and swinging so there is plenty of ways to keep them entertained and occupied for hours on end

Sportspower Almansor Swing Set Cons

The anchors are not included in the package so you will need to buy these separately – another expense to plan for

Not all the tools for the assembly are included either, you get some tools but you will need a tape measure and additional wrenches also

Assembly requires 3-4 hours work, a lot of planning and attention to detail due to all the small hardware and fastener parts, be careful!

Concrete bases for the anchors are recommended so you will need to plan for a further 1-2 hours work completing this part of the installation

Some small hardware pieces can be missing from time to time which is extremely annoying

The assembly of the mini trampoline jump netting requires a good deal of arm strength and power to get into place

Part 5: Conclusion / Optional Feedback

Would we recommend the Sportspower Almansor Swing Set? Taking everything into consideration including the price, yes we would highly recommend it as we believe it offers great value for money.
