Knoxville’s #1 Source for high quality, professionally installed outdoor play equipment

Backyard Swing Sets

About Us

After a bad experience with a cheaply made play set purchased from a national chain, we sought to provide a better option for quality, backyard playground equipment. We also wanted to provide professional installation services for the playground equipment throughout Knoxville & all of East TN. So, in 1999 we founded FunMakers. Since that time, we have expanded into commercial playground equipment & installation for schools, churches, multi-unit housing properties, campgrounds, parks, etc…. We are a locally owned & operated family business and are proud to have met the backyard playground needs of thousands of satisfied ocal families, as well as providing durable, safe and fun commercial playgrounds throughout the South East. We would be honored to serve your backyard or commercial playground needs. Just give Mike or Colby Maddux a call, or stop by to see us and we will get you started on your dream playground.

Come Play!

We are the only place in Knoxville that has a large number of displays set up and prepared for you to come climb, swing & slide to test them out before you buy. It is RISKY buying a play structure by only looking at pictures online or on a store shelf. The internet is full of reviews from disappointed consumers who were not satisfied with what they thought was a good deal on the internet, just to be disappointed in the size & quality of what they had purchased. Don’t gamble on quality when it comes to your kids safety and satisfaction, come to FunMakers and see the quality & size first hand.

We are in love with our new playset from FunMakers! The playset looks amazing in our backyard. We could not be happier. Mike and his father were were amazing, they answered all my questions and helped me pick a playset that would work for our backyard which is sloped. The install team was fast and efficient and put it in the perfect spot for the kids to enjoy. I highly recommend FunMakers for a high quality playset.

This was our second purchase from FunMakers and we had another great experience! The process from start to finish was smooth and top notch. There is just something about dealing with not just a family owned company, BUT family RAN company. They care more, work harder, and give you the best service possible! We will forever be a returning customer for all our Family Fun needs! Thank you so much for an awesome job on our basketball goal installation. You rock!

You'll love this place! A "must visit," kids can try out the sets & you can see the quality. Well built, sturdy materials, made to last for years. Family owned & operated, they were a pleasure to work with & keep to their schedule. Our grandkids LOVE their playset! A+

We can not say enough about our new play set and Funmakers. It was the best experience from the sales staff to the installation. They were so helpful and even installed in very cold weather right before Christmas. It is as sturdy as a house and we know it will be our first and last play set we will ever need, I highly recommend Funmakers to anyone in the market for a top quality play set and a very professional company.

The entire experience was so personal and I appreciated how they even took the time to acknowledge my child’s opinion.

We bought our playground last summer and our kids love it! Mike and his crew were amazing. Our yard is sloped and they help guide us to the perfect solution. Installation was completed on schedule and without any issues. During the quarantine it has provided our kids with hours of priceless entertainment and fun.

Mike and his team at FunMakers were great to deal with! The port strikes caused a lengthy delay in our system but Mike made sure to keep us in the loop. His install crews (husband and wife) were very professional and blasted Christian radio as they worked which was refreshing to us. We will definitely use Mike and FunMakers again!
