I put our one up myself apart from the two beams that the swings hang from (they were too heavy for me to hold and scew at the same time, so 16 year old son held them in place whilst I did the bolts).

It took me all afternoon but that was by myself....I had lots of balancing to do. 2 pairs of hands will get it up in no time. I was very impressed that all the parts were well labelled, they all had the part code printed on them so you can't go wrong really.

Just make sure the kids are out the way..... I lost count of the times I heard 'Mum is it ready yet?', lol.

Notice the part that said you MUST make the 4 concrete pads; also you MUST screw the deck into place, but "screws are not supplied for this". How stupid is that!


Just noticed my cctv has been filming all of it

Well i had my call back from the delivery company saying they have no order for me! They suggested that B&Q may be delivering mine and not them hence why they didn't have an order. I called B&Q back and spoke to the one and only Christina, she said i definatly have a Ben Nevis and my payment details will need to be taken again (even though i have been advised by egg credit card that my payment has definatly cleared my card and gone to B&Q) She advised she will pesonally call me either tomorrow or the friday to take payment details and arrange the delivery date.
It is so frustrating to be told one thing and then another. I really don't mind this almighty !!!!-up. It actually doesn't bother me to much as i am keeping the Ben Nevis flat packed to take to our new house this year. But to be told your payment is clear then its not and to be told your on the list of people getting the current stock and then told i am one of those people waiting for that new stock to be alloctated to the cumputer correctly. I am now having doubts if i will ever get one.
Happy buiding to the lucky ones!

Kids unhappy that Daddy wouldn't put it up in the rain!

I'm so jealous!! You lucky people - I haven't got the room in my garden! I measured and measured and re-measured but no- it was not to be! Hope you all get your orders and enjoy them!

Table Tennis table just turned up. It's a Plum rather than a Butterfly but still a great bargain. Only problem is the lousy rainy weather here at the moment!

it came in 3 packs.. a couple of the pieces of wood have got chips in them from mishandling.. nothing major though.
