The swingset, pullup bar, and fireman's pole are schedule 40 galvanized pipe, which I found wholesale in town in 21 foot lengths (2" inside diameter for swingset). For the swingset I used a commercial fitting (green piece on the end) to connect them, plus a floor flange on the other side. One more swing coming. The ends are sunk into concrete which has rebar drilled into the underlying stone, like the playhouse itself.
I found some great rock climbing holds online that included the T bracket, 30 for $30. The back wall has 1" plywood under the Hardie board so it is plenty sturdy. The pull-up bar is 1" inside diameter pipe.
The inside black areas are primed, sanded plywood with chalkboard paint applied.
The fireman's pole is also 1" inside diameter pipe. I spent a lot of time looking at the BarbaraButler.com website for ideas. One thing they do is leave 1/2" around closing doors so that if the door slams on little fingers there is no injury. I installed my doors with the same type of spacing around them and spring loaded hinges to keep them shut.
Upstairs there is a bench across one wall and a moveable work bench for building projects.
To access the upstairs, rather than putting in a tall ladder I put a platform a few feet below the scuttle hole. That way if anyone falls through the hole it will not be a long drop.
A few more small touches to add but overall it is ready for the kids.
