I have one that was around $800 and it's 5 years old. It's starting to fall apart.

I just tore ours down after about 4 years. It took me 12 hours to put together with help.

A friend of mine just built one for around $700. He bought a bracket kit & instructions along with all the wood needed. It called for 4x4's & 2x4's instead of the cheap stuff that comes in those kits. He even had enough drop off when he was finished to build a mini picnic table for it too.

He said that it came with the brackets & plans for 5 different options. The lumber & slide were not included.
