How to gain respect from a high end swing set manufacturer!

26 05 2009

Lee’s Notes: My family is pretty artsy.. We build a lot of things, and my son doesnt thing there is a single thing he can break, that I can’t fix… Well, except for when Daddy sat on his Avalanche toy truck and snapped the wheels off, but I digress…

We have been looking for a playset for our son, and came upon Cedarworks. They have some brilliant stuff, and we have been in awe of their equipment since last year when we ordered one of their catalogues. Well fast forward a year, and my father who is very handy decided to take one of their Rascal Ramps for inspiration and built a ramp for one of his clients.. Came out rather well, and Cedarworks liked it as well!

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, consider us very flattered. We recently received an email from Dale Smith of Indy, Indiana (“a corn field with a race track in the middle” according to Dale) in which he describes an unusual project he had just completed. It seems that the assistant minister of his church needed some way for his son to access the loft area of his bedroom, and asked Dale whether he could help.



As Dale then describes, “I found your company on line, and requested a catalog.  When it arrived I was thrilled to see all the wonderful units you offer.  I am a bit artsy, so many of your units inspired my thinking.” Dale continued “I always liked the rascal ramp you use, so I drew up drawings of MY ideas and here is the end result.”

And quite an end result it is: beautiful, functional, and fun – just like what we want everything to be here at CedarWorks. According to Dale, the lucky boy who gets to use this every day and all his friends just love it. And that’s also just what we we want from anyone who uses a CedarWorks swing set.
