The Pioneer is a hardware-and-plans kit for building a wooden swing set yourself: you supply the lumber and add a slide if you want one. It includes two swing seats, a ring/trapeze combo, three pairs of hangers, six EZ frame brackets and illustrated plans with four layout variations. That makes it cheaper than a full playset and lets you size the build to your yard, but it is a construction project, not a ready-to-assemble set. It suits handy parents with tools, time and a truck for lumber; buyers who want a finished set in an afternoon should look at complete Gorilla or Lifetime playsets instead.

Owners of Gorilla's DIY kits generally report the plans and hardware are workable for a confident builder, and that the finished frame is sturdy once assembled. The common complaints are the lumber shopping and cutting the kit pushes onto the buyer, and the extra cost of adding a slide.
The Gorilla Playsets Pioneer is a do-it-yourself swing set hardware kit. It supplies the hardware, swings and plans, and you add the wood and a slide to build a backyard swing set. The design has a small footprint.
The kit includes 2 swing seats, a ring/trapeze combo swing, and the hardware. Fully illustrated plans cover 4 swing set design variations. You can customize the set with a slide, glider, steering wheel, or disc swing, all sold separately.
The set meets and/or exceeds ASTM safety standards for backyard residential use only.
