This is the white van with the words “FREE CANDY” painted on it; it is the swingset variant. One do-it-yourselfer made the decision to affix broken lawn chairs to a rusted-out frame rather than pay the exorbitant cost of swingsets and installation.

The outcome is a swingset that resembles a spot where middle schoolers go to steal cigarettes from their parents and smoke them. If this doesn’t appeal to you—which we really hope it doesn’t—you can actually acquire a rather inexpensive swingset at Walmart for $119–$159. It will cost you a little extra, maybe more than $1,000, for a full-size jungle gym.
