With their extensive expertise on outdoor playsets, they’ve offered some insight into the things you should know about swing sets before deciding to buy one.
Material: Metal swing sets are increasingly unpopular,
as they get extremely hot in the sun. Wood is the most commonly used building material, and there are multiple options. Cedar is both durable and high quality for the price. Redwood normally has a lifetime guarantee and looks beautiful, adding a rich color to the yard. Pine is the most durable option, but will cost you the most.
Size: The size, both the height and width of the set, is one of the major considerations homeowners should make. There are models that offer 4-foot decks (the landing height), all the way up to 8-foot decks. Larger decks will allow your children to grow into the set.
Shape: Square swing sets are normally more compact, and allow for a smaller play area under the base deck. Angle based swing sets are just that—they angle outward and allow a space underneath for a swing or table.
Safety: Buying a swing set that’s already pre-prepared will ensure that it’s the safest model for your children. The holes are already drilled into the correct place, the beams are of an adequate density, and thorough instructions or staff can assist in assembly. They also come with high quality hardware that is sure to stand the test of time.
