BACKYARD PLAYGROUND STOCK STATUS 2021

The COVID-19 epidemic, as well as school closures and forced "work from home" situations, created an enormous need for playgrounds!

With so many consumers clamoring for backyard playsets, and with ports being limited on ships that bring material/goods to the market, a recipe for "OUT OF STOCK" from numerous manufacturers emerged. So when Gorilla stopped orders or ran out of stock, most retailers were unable to sell those items as well.

Gorilla Playsets sent a notification to all of its dealers on April 21, 2020, notifying them that due to the enormous volume of orders that came in during the COVID-19 crisis and constraints on warehouse staff, they would not be taking new orders after April 21, 2020, for at least eight weeks. This was extended until August 20th.

Most merchants who sell Gorilla Playsets products were shipping their orders straight from Gorilla's warehouse in Canton, Georgia. When Gorilla Play Sets stopped orders or ran out of stock, most merchants were likewise unable to provide those items. This is why you'll find that many online retailers are "Out of Stock" on Gorilla Playsets toys as a result of this.
