While we have purchased a second trailer and completely outfitted that trailer with all the tools necessary to run a second crew we unfortunately cannot work in the rain. I currently have several thousand dollars worth of lumber and supplies on my driveway whereas our normal procedure has always been to buy lumber for each job the day we go to build. With that being said rain has been a HUGE delay for us this year. Lumber will not run out so we will have it to build with it is just taking extra time to get it. While lumber prices have skyrocketed during the pandemic I have not yet increased my prices due to the increase in lumber costs and am hopeful as well that those prices will go back down, however if they do not I may soon have to to increase prices which I am hoping I do not have to do. We have had to take off a day each week over the last few weeks just to go to several different stores purchasing lumber as it comes in on the trucks-and then bring it back to stockpile on my driveway so that we can continue building each week. There has also been a lumber shortage due to the mills being closed for 3 weeks at the beginning of the pandemic, the sudden increase in people at home doing more building projects, and the extreme amount of rain we have had which has made it difficult to get the lumber processed quickly enough to get it into the stores to meet supply and demand. I am very hopeful once these slides become available again that the price increase will drop. Unfortunately as well from what I have seen online there may be an increase in price on these two slides of $230 on the 7 turbo slide from the original costs I have been quoted from the vendor and have quoted to customers and at this moment I do not know what the costs will be on the 8 slides. While we have been able to get 10 slides we have still not been able to get turbo slides or 8 slides as a result in an over abundance of orders this year due to stay at home orders and the manufacturers working with limited staff.


We've even found a couple of toddler-friendly versions for the younger ones to keep themselves occupied.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic along with the overwhelming amounts-of rain we have had recently we are experiencing delays in building that are unfortunately out of our control. From simple swing sets, to extensive large playground units, our list of the top outdoor playsets, with prices ranging from $150–$3000, has something for every need, style and budget, ensuring that you'll find one that's right for you and your kids. The best outdoor playset for your needs highly depends on the amount of outdoor space you have, the age of your children, and how much you're willing to spend. What are the best outdoor playsets for kids?

Getting one of the best outdoor playsets is a great way to keep the little ones busy and active while you finally get to sit down and relax in the sunshine. Although kids love playing outside, they do, unfortunately, tend to get easily bored, so one way to ensure this doesn't happen is to provide them with a fully comprehensive outdoor playset that will offer them a multitude of things to do, like climb, swing, and slide, and even play house. There's nothing better than being able to usher the kids outside to get their much-needed fun, family-friendly exercise, and Vitamin D, but finding enjoyable activities for them to do can prove to be a chore-and-a-half, and may you soon find yourself running out of ideas. As the weather starts to pick up and the days get longer, the kids (and you) will want to spend more time outside-especially after being cooped up indoors for, like, forever.
