My swing set (play system) business. We bought whole sale and installed
In the spring of 2004 I came up with a great idea. I was standing in the back yard of my house and looked down the neighbors back yards in my block. It seemed that almost half had one of those gigantic wooden play fort swing sets, maybe of which were Rainbow Play-systems. Rainbow is the "Cadillac" of forts and can be denoted by their trademark red, yellow and blue striped canopies. Rainbow is very expensive. So my good friend Chad and I got together and went to work for Rainbow installing these sets. Out goal was to learn about the product and either try to re-sell Rainbow or make our own models. Well..it didn't take long to rule out manufacturing and we hooked up with Outback Play-systems in Wisconsin. We bought by the truck load and installed all over the twin cities. There was some rewarding about putting these fun little kits together. It paid pretty well.
After installing these for just one summer, I ended up here. I had wrecked my right shoulder. Four years later I had the surgery. I held off for so long hoping it would go away only to ice the pain away every day.
Well, I'm back and available to install should anyone be in the market. Just shoot me an email to learn about the various brands on the market.
Don't Let this happen to you....Call us!
Here's a photo from 1979 of Chad, Andy and I building our first fort.
