PITTSBURG, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Backyard Discovery®, a leader in family outdoor living products, today announced a significant expansion of its galvanized steel lineup with three new collections spanning backyard play, patio living and home gardening: the Atlas line of steel swing sets, the Ridgeline collection of peaked louvered pergolas and the 14x12 Larkspur Metal Greenhouse. Together, the new products give families a low-maintenance, long-lasting option in three of the most popular categories in the backyard.
For more than 50 years, Backyard Discovery has been known for cedar swing sets, pergolas and outdoor structures built for family life. The new collections apply that same design experience to galvanized steel, a material that resists rust and corrosion, never needs painting or sealing, and holds up season after season with minimal upkeep. Each collection pairs that durability with clean, contemporary styling and the practical, family-first features the brand is known for, and every kit ships ready-to-assemble with 3D BILT® instructions that guide homeowners through each step of the build.
“Families are asking for products that look great, last for years and don’t add to the weekend to-do list, and steel delivers on all three,” said Heather Napier, Director of Marketing at Backyard Discovery. “Whether it’s a swing set the kids will grow up on, a pergola for years of summer dinners or a greenhouse for a serious gardener, these new collections give families more choice in how they build out their backyard, backed by the quality they expect from us.”
Play: The Atlas Steel Swing Set Line
Atlas introduces galvanized steel to Backyard Discovery’s play portfolio with first-of-its-kind construction for the backyard play category. Available in four configurations, the line gives families a variety of ways to bring active, imaginative play home. The Atlas Steel Swing Set features an 8-foot wave slide, rock wall, flat-step ladder, two belt swings and a metal trapeze, while the Atlas with Monkey Bars adds an overhead climbing challenge. The Atlas with Tube Slide pairs the wave slide with an enclosed spiral tube slide, and the most feature-packed Atlas with Monkey Bars and Tube Slide combines both for even more ways to climb, swing and slide.
Every Atlas configuration centers on a raised clubhouse with a peaked roof, chalkboard, toy telescope and steering wheel, plus a shaded lower play area with a toy grill and play food for pretend play. Like all Backyard Discovery products, Atlas comes ready-to-assemble with step-by-step BILT instructions on the free BILT app.
Patio: The Ridgeline Steel Louvered Pergola Collection
The Ridgeline collection brings a distinctive gabled peak roof to the louvered pergola, combining the look of a traditional pitched roofline with the flexibility of adjustable shade. Four louver sections operate independently, so families can open one section for sun over the loungers and close another for shade over the dinner table or close them all for full protection from sun and rain. When the louvers are closed, an integrated gutter system channels water into downspouts built into the leg posts.
Constructed from galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish, Ridgeline is built for minimal maintenance with no painting, sealing or rust at the welds. Every size is PRO-TECT™ rated to withstand winds up to 100 mph and heavy snow loads and is backed by a five-year warranty on every component. The collection is available in three sizes — 14x12, 14x14 and 16x14 — and each kit ships ready-to-assemble with prefabricated, pre-drilled, powder-coated pieces and 3D BILT instructions.
Garden: The Larkspur Metal Greenhouse
Rounding out the steel expansion, the 14x12 Larkspur Metal Greenhouse combines commercial-grade construction, thoughtful functionality and modern design. The Larkspur features a galvanized steel and aluminum frame with wood-tone composite paneling, along with 10mm four-wall polycarbonate panels designed to provide enhanced insulation and diffuse sunlight for an optimal growing environment.
With 163 square feet of interior space, the Larkspur comes equipped with heavy-duty staging shelves, two thermostat-activated exhaust fans, four operable windows with removable screens, an interior water spigot and hose, and Backyard Discovery’s PowerPort™ Electric Hub with outlets and USB ports. A wide, wheelbarrow-friendly entry, integrated aluminum gutters and an open-slat pergola add even more functionality, creating a well-equipped growing space for serious gardeners and backyard enthusiasts alike. The Larkspur arrives ready-to-assemble with 3D BILT instructions.
The Atlas swing sets, Ridgeline pergolas and Larkspur greenhouse are available through select retailer partners and online. For more information on Backyard Discovery or its new steel collections, please visit www.backyarddiscovery.com or follow along on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
