Parents’ Tips On How to Choose Safe Outdoor Wood Swing Sets

Outdoor Wood Swing Sets are every child’s must-have. However, every wise parent knows that not all wood swings are created equal. Safety is the first thing to put in mind. As you begin to think, “Can this swing frame hold Billy while he swings?”, “Can this wood withstand the outdoors?”, here is our book of tricks on helping you choose the best outdoor wooden swing sets for your child.

Get the right wood for swing set equipment.

Choosing the right wood for a swing set should be a priority. Strong wood can support a kid and the kid-at-heart’s weight. Since wooden swing beams do not oxidize, they last better than steel frames..

Wood comes in many varieties. Soft wood like pine should be avoided as they rot from inside. Instead, choose hard wood that repels bugs. Well-varnished wood play sets can reach up to 25 years.

Or, you can get pressure treated lumber that is specially made to endure harsh weather conditions.However, keep away from lumber treated with carcinogenic chemicals such as arsenic or chromium.

Inspect if it has child-safe swing accessories.

Look for plastic-wrapped metal swing chains rather than nylon ropes. The latter can cause friction burns. Plastic-wrapped swing chains protect little fingers from getting stuck between the metal links.

Are there protruding bolts and nuts from the wooden frame? More importantly, all exposed screws and sharp edges should be covered with plastic or rubber caps so they would not snag on sweaters and socks. Sharp corners should also be rounded or padded.

Check the stability of the swing anchors.

Ideally, outdoor wood swing sets should be anchored firmly to the ground. The back and forth motion can topple over an unsecured swing frame. Children love to climb so ladders, rock walls, and slides must also be held securely.

Get wood swing sets that can be modified.

Outdoor Wooden Swing Sets should be age-appropriate for your kids. But as Johnny grows bigger he wants to have a monkey bar installed, too. Wooden play sets should be versatile that you can add and remove play components to suit your child’s idea of fun. Outdoor Wood Swing Sets can be outfitted with play houses, rope bridges, towers, slides, and many more.

Have a wooden swing set company with service guarantee and maintenance service.

Not all parents are handy when it comes to hammer and nails. Look for a company who also offers installation services. Swing set companies like these also have maintenance and repair services you can call on anytime there’s a loose bolt or broken swing equipment you cannot fix.
