How much space does the Charleston Lodge need?

The footprint is about 223 inches long by 138 inches wide by 114 inches tall. Leave extra clearance around the swings and slide exits, and pick a level spot.

It is rated for ages 3 and up, with a 110 lb limit per child and room for up to ten children. Younger kids will need help on the rockwall and tube slide.

How long does assembly take?

Expect a full day or more with two adults. The set ships as many wooden parts and hardware, so sorting pieces first and having a second helper speeds it up.

Does the wood need treating?

The cedar is kiln-dried and pre-stained, but owners report it benefits from resealing or staining after a season or two outdoors.

What is included in the set?

Two belt swings, a glider, a wave slide, a 12-foot tube slide, a rockwall, an upper clubhouse, and a lower area with a play kitchen, chalkboard, clock, bench and working door.

Is it better than a basic swing set?

It offers far more than a swing-and-slide set: two slides, a two-story clubhouse and pretend-play features. That comes with a bigger footprint, a longer build and more upkeep.

About the KidKraft Charleston Lodge Wooden Swing Set

The sturdy Charleston Lodge Wooden Swing Set by KidKraft is built to take whatever ten rambunctious kids can dish out. Each all-in-one activity center and playhouse features not one, but two durable slides: an extra-deep high-rail wave slide and an enclosed 12’ Twist N’ Ride tube slide. A multi-colored climbing rockwall provides access to the upper level of the two-story clubhouse. Outside, a solid swing beam with an extra-wide A-frame anchors two heavy-duty belt swings and a premium glider for one or two. Activity also abounds in the oodles of fun extras included with Charleston Lodge: a shaded lower activity area with moveable bench for snacking or coloring, deluxe kitchen with play sink, working play stove and accessories, double-sided hanging chalkboard, play clock and a working door. The clubhouse is constructed from the highest-quality, solid premium cedar, which has been kiln-dried for added stability and finished with a child-friendly, environmentally safe stain. In short, Charleston Lodge is beauty, durability and fun in one amazing package.
