Why Big-Box Swing Set Suppliers Can’t Copy Bijou Build

At Bijou we don’t cut corners. We designed for our family, so we know what’s important to you. Our play structures are designed with exceptional materials, thoughtful design, and real-world durability—something mainstream brands simply can’t replicate.

Sourcing – Materials That Last

Big-box Swing sets use cheap, mass-produced materials that crack, fade, and weaken over time. At Bijou Build, we source construction-grade wood, UV-resistant panels made from recycled water bottles, and stainless steel hardware to ensure long-term durability. Our solid steel Star Hub system is at the core of our structures, providing unmatched strength and stability.

Making – Smarter Assembly, Stronger Build

Most big-box Swing Sets are a nightmare to assemble—hundreds of tiny parts, unclear instructions, and flimsy pieces that take forever to put together. And after all that effort? The final structure often feels wobbly and weak.


Bijou Build does it differently. Thanks to our patented Star Hub system, our structures are engineered for both strength and easy assembly. With fewer parts and a smarter design, you get a faster, frustration-free setup without sacrificing durability. And once it’s built, it’s built to last for years—not just a few seasons.

Formulas – Thoughtful Design for Real Play

Mainstream brands rely on one-size-fits-all designs with weak joints, unnecessary plastic, and parts that degrade quickly. At Bijou, every component has a purpose:


  • No plastic gimmicks—just solid, long-lasting materials

  • Solar-powered lighting options for all-day and evening play

  • Tested to meet the highest US and EU safety standards

  • Award-winning, patented design for maximum durability and function


Everything we create is made to grow with your family, ensuring your swing set structure remains a centerpiece of adventure for years to come.

Why Bijou Build Play
Structures Are Made to Last

1

Built to withstand harsh weather

Our swing sets utilize pressure-treated 2x4s from your local hardware store, specifically chosen for their strength and durability in outdoor applications. This means they can endure various climates, from scorching summers to freezing winters, without warping or rotting. By using local wood, you get the swing set that works for your environment. 

2

Designed for longevity & sustainable play

We incorporate UV-resistant panels made from recycled water bottles, ensuring that the materials withstand sun exposure without degrading over time and offering protection from the elements. Our stainless steel hardware resists rust and corrosion, maintaining structural integrity. The solid steel star hub, crafted from powder-coated steel using 20% recycled materials, provides a robust and stable core for the structure. Our solar panel powered string lights offer eco-friendly illumination for year round play without having to replace any batteries. 

3

Tested to handle real-world use

Our designs are made for active play, using sturdy construction and high-quality finishes that outperform big-box store alternatives. The Bijou system passes all US and EU safety testing for toys and children’s outdoor play equipment, ensuring it stands up to daily adventures and various weather conditions.

By sourcing wood locally, we ensure it is best suited for your environment, leading to a longer-lasting and more resilient play structure. This approach not only supports local businesses but also reduces shipping costs and environmental impact.

This isn’t just a swing set —it’s a lasting investment in your home and your family’s joy.

It’s 10xs better in Person!

I fell in love with this the second I saw a video online. Thanks to a generous military discount (such a gift- especially from a small company!) we ordered the Mainstay & eagerly awaited its arrival. I expected it to be great— but it FAR surpassed my high expectations- it’s amazing. We have a very, very small yard & could never commit to a permanent play structure. Bijou’s flexibility and structure footprint is perfect for our space and has made our backyard and extension of our living space.

Best family gift ever!

We love our new Bijou Build. The kids can’t wait to go outside to play on it. I just love being there with them. I will definitely be buying one for my sister. It is great family fun and no screen time and A+ in my book.

So far, so great!

We are so thrilled with our Bijou setup. We started with a single mainstay, then got a second, then the bridge, and now the swing arm. We've loved every piece more than the last! The setup really isn't bad at all, I did the mainstays solo and my husband helped with the swing arm but it was still really pretty straightforward. I love the strength of the material and how wild it allows my children to be. They love climbing and hanging and swinging so it's the perfect setup for our family. Everyone who walks by our house compliments our teepees because they are so cute and super unique. We've had them through the harsh NH winter and they still look as good as new. Our dogs even enjoy them as a bit of shade on sunny days. 10/10 recommend them to everyone.

Why Trust Bijou Build? When Every Other Option Feels Like a Risk

We know how overwhelming this decision is. Choosing the right swing set or play structure isn’t just about picking something that looks nice—it’s a major investment of time, money, and space. You don’t want to commit to something that ends up sitting unused, slowly rotting away in your yard.

You’ve seen it happen. Your friends’ backyards are filled with abandoned playsets—wobbly, weathered, and forgotten. They bought something that seemed like a good idea but didn’t last, didn’t fit their needs, or just wasn’t worth it. And now, you’re stuck wondering how to avoid making the same mistake.

That’s why Bijou Build is different.

We craft play structures that kids actually love to use and that stand the test of time. No cheap materials, no cookie-cutter designs—just beautiful, durable, and thoughtfully designed builds that grow with your family. Look at our work. Read our customer reviews. See why families trust us.

Still unsure? We get it. That’s why we stand behind our products with a
100% satisfaction guarantee. If it’s not right for you, we’ll make it right—no hassle, no regret.

The choice is yours. Take the leap, and soon you’ll be the one saying:


"I can’t believe I almost settled for something else."

Let’s build something truly special.

Structural Strength

For thousands of years, nomadic cultures have relied on the triangular tipi shape for its stability and portability—and we’ve taken inspiration from that time-tested design. Bijou’s unique structure provides unmatched strength while remaining lightweight and adaptable, making it the perfect foundation for our modular swing set system.
