Try Alibaba Express online.

I would also like to find a wooden playhouse / slide / swing.  They have them once in a while at S & R but they cost quite a bit more than the U.S. prices.

If all else fails then get a local carpenter to make one for you.

hi. not sure what US prices are but i imagine they are higher than HK prices, which is what i'm used to. i'll try alibaba, but then i need to add shipping to it, so it may end up the same. usually you need to buy 100 of anything for them to become cheap and i don't have that much storage space. thanks

yeah, i thought about that, i mean we have a few old trees knocking about the lot that could be turned into something nice. would be a fun project to do.

Once in while I have seen a few deals that seem ok and even some with free shipping..  Never pulled the trigger though.  Might get hit with duties too.

My daughter's school has this exact PVC set.  Only $199 on Ali Express.  Shipping is "only" $2176!

I will ask the school where they get their equipment.  They have a nice well built steel swing set too.

Ali Express also has a lot of accessories too, for reasonable prices.  It might be cost effective build a wood structure and accessorize it with add-on parts.

You could try Lazeda ( play sets ) various kinds on there for kids from 4000php up

I use lazeda often and found the service good
