A Little of our Handywork
Since 2007 we have traveled more miles we can count cutting, fitting, shaping, and creating masterpieces in backyards, city parks, beaches, restaurants, floating in a lake, in a library, dentist offices… should we go on? Suffice it to say there is almost no place we have not built one of our killer pirate ships or other custom wood creations. Wood is our specialty. We make a habit out of making outdoor spaces too much fun. Check out just a few examples of our most popular Pirate Ship size, the Ultimate Ship.
One day in the spring of ’08 I decided to build my two boys something awesome in the backyard. As I thought of what to do for the boys, 2 & 4 years old, I came across a little plastic toy pirate ship in their bedroom that had been one of their favorites and knew then that was my goal. Putting to good use a pile of lumber salvaged from a construction job, the ship began to take shape and within a few days started to rise up within a cluster of back yard trees. With my background in construction and carpentry, I added a creative eye as I cut, shaved, measured, and created until, after almost two months, the finished product was ready for the kids …
See our large collection of images from all over the US! Every house we visit, every playground we build is a different story. Different people and different ideas! We build each Play Ship to the specificity of the environment it is in and those it is for.. Check out some of our work!
Check out our collection of images from all over the US and beyond. Every home we visit, every play structure we build, and every family or community we meet contributes to the story of Pirate Play Ships. We love to get to know you in your element as we build each structure by hand on site. Each project is a custom-crafted work of art that you will be proud of and that is designed for your specific space and needs.
One of the coolest things about traveling the country (world) building these custom structures is the chance to be in a new city, town, village, for a short time and to get to know the people we build dreams for. Because we have the lumber and supplies delivered right to your property, we arrive on site and immediately begin building by hand, on site, right before your eyes. You see, from the very first cut on my 12” slider miter saw, exactly what you are getting. It’s just a cool process to be a part of. We’ll get a feel for your vision and offer our own expert opinions as we settle on a game plan that makes everyone happy and inspired. As you see it rise out of the ground, day after day, the anticipation rises right along with it. To see more of the day to day process check out this footage we captured at one of our recent and most memorable builds for an awesome family in Michigan. Just think, that could be you!
We are in love with our new pirate ship! Derek was wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end. He created this beautiful ship to be used for generations. We are so pleased with everything and would highly recommend Pirate Play ships!

Derek and his son knocked it out of the park with our pirate ship. They did an awesome job and we couldn't be happier. Derek is a great builder and even better person! we are so glad we had it done.

Derek built us an amazing ship for our backyard space. My kids loved watching the whole process of him building this ship from the ground up. His attention to detail, work ethic, and craftsmanship are unmatched. I would highly recommend having Derek build your backyard fun as soon as possible. My kids play on our set everyday they can. Their friends love coming to play on it too. Now we have a backyard that adults and kids can enjoy. Thanks, Derek!!
