Pioneer Peak Swing Set Review
The Pioneer Peak is the top of the Blue Ridge Gorilla Playset line of Swing Sets. This “Ready To Assemby” playset is made out of factory stained and sealed pine. All of the up post (vertical support beams) and the swing beam are constructed of Preserved Pine and and considered maintenance free because of the poly coating they are treated with. This does not mean that you will not have to treat or stain this swing set. It simply means that the support system for this set does not require any maintenance. This is a huge plus.
The Pioneer Peak is a rather large residential playground. its foot print is 23′ wide by 25′ long. Gorilla Playsets recommends a safety zone of 33′ x 35′ to accommodate this playset. When it comes to features, the Pioneer Peak is not lacking. This playground comes with the following standard features:
2 Belt Swings w/ Powdered Coated Chains
1 Trapeze Bar w/ Powder Coated Chains
Built-in Picnic Table
Sandbox
Clatterbridge and Tower
Rock Wall with Climbing Rope
10′ Radical Wave Slide
Climbing Rope Ladder
Deluxe Climbing Ramp with Knotted Rope
Turbo Tire Swing and Swivel
Telescope
Tic Tac Toe Panel
There is something to spark the imagination of every child. What I really like about this swing set is that the activities are spread out throughout the entire unit. The is not only a bonus for safety reasons but as a parent it keeps the kids from being on top of one another. The one feature that seems to really draw the kids was the clatter bridge to the slide. The bridge posed as a minor obstacle for the kids and this gave them a thrill. Having the second tower with a slide at the end of the bridge really controls the traffic flow while kids are playing.
The Pioneer Peak is a rather large project to assemble. It took two of us just over 12 hours. Like all swing sets, the key in my opinion was staying organized. Keep track of all of your parts and components. The more organized you are the quicker and easier the Pioneer Peak will come together.
Like all Gorilla Playsets, I am very impressed with the design. Safety is the primary focus in design but functionality and kids interests are closely behind. I would definitely recommend this swing set.

How can I save a jpeg file in photoshop with the guidelines I set? (Green blue lines from ruler?)?
I made a grid using the guides in photoshop and was wondering how I could show this to other people without using print screen and stuff, because it turns out really pixelated. and hopefully not as a PSD as not everyone has a copy. 
What you will have to do is to make those grid lines in the Photoshop file itself. As you know, those gridlines won’t print and won’t save in the .jpg file. So you should create another layer on top of your image, and then trace the grid lines. You can use the pen tool (make sure to select Paths, which is the middle icon of the three small icons up in your option bar near the left corner when the Pen tool is active.) Then you can stroke each path, in the color you want.
An alternative is to use a very fine hard brush in the color you want, and trace the gridlines that way. If you hold down the Shift key it will constrain the brush lines to 90 degree and 45 degrees, so you should be able to do straight horizontal and vertical lines as needed.
Once you’ve traced the gridlines, you can flatten and save as a .jpg file that you can give to people as needed.
If there’s another way to preserve those gridlines, I don’t know it!
