Fun & Practical Reasons to Love Our Play Systems
To be the best, our play systems need to provide the safety and practical advantages that parents care about — while packing in the imaginative and high energy fun that kids love! We’re breaking down why kids AND parents choose us time and time again:
5 Fun FeaturesProviding countless hours of outdoor fun is our mission at Adventure World Play Sets — here’s what makes our sets extra exciting!
- Unique Swings — There’s no question that belt swings are a classic, but that’s just the beginning of what we can build into your swing set. We offer tons of unique extras like tire swings, surf swings, ball swings, two-person gliders, and much more. See all of our unique swings here!
- Eye-Popping Colors — One of the first things kids notice about our sets and play systems is how bright and inviting they look. That comes from our eye-popping color schemes, which pair bright primary colors against a clean white base.
- Climbing Options — Versatility is at the center of all the best backyard play structures. That’s why parents and kids alike fall in love with climbing playsets that provide the chance to climb high as well as to swing. Just a few of the most fun climbing accessories include our rock wall, monkey bars, and a chain ladder.
- Imagination Accessory — It’s always nice to have the chance to take a break from high-energy fun to enjoy imagination games on your swing set. Many of our favorite play systems feature accessories to spark young imaginations. A few of these include the steering wheel, the lemonade stand, and the Happy Hideout playhouse.
- Ground-Up Custom Building — You have 100% freedom to mix and match any of our popular swing set models and accessories to create the perfect set for your kids. By tailoring the set to their exact tastes, you’ll create a playset that they’ll love using day after day. To make the custom design process even easier, we built a custom 3D design center — keep reading to learn all about it!
While the flashy fun of our sets is what captures the imaginations of kids everywhere, these are the important practical advantages that matter to you, the parent.
- Ultra-Strong Swing Beam — Safety is the most important element of all our designs, and our ultra-durable swing beam is at the center of this. We build the important weight-bearing beam on every single one of our backyard play structures to be both bigger and stronger than our competitors’. When tested, our swing beams can withstand 2,000 pounds of weight, far more than they’d ever need to be able to hold for your children to play safely. Learn more about how sturdy our sets truly are!
- No Maintenance — You’re buying a play system to give your children a great gift — not to saddle yourself with another backyard chore. Fortunately, Adventure World Play Sets are 100% maintenance free, meaning they never need to be painted, stained, or anything else to stay strong. Compare this to wooden sets that often need to be sanded and painted or stained every few years.
- They Look Great in Your Yard — You work hard to create a backyard curb appeal, and the last thing you want is a cheap looking swing set to undermine that. While all of our sets have a colorful, kid-friendly look, they also have a clean, professional, and well-built appearance. Plus, since they don’t rust or rot, you don’t have to worry about them turning into a backyard eyesore.
- They Will Last a Lifetime — There’s nothing worse than spending your hard-earned money on something (whether for yourself or for the kids) and having it fall apart before you’re finished with it. While cheap swing sets often fall apart after just a few seasons in the elements, our play systems will last a lifetime! We often say that our sets are intergenerational, meaning your kids and grandkids can both enjoy them!
- Backed By a Warranty — It’s one thing to say our sets are built well, and it’s another thing to prove it. We’re confident that our pieces are so well built that we offer a 20-year workmanship warranty on the structural integrity of all of our sets. This is one of the practical advantages that makes us stand out as building the best backyard play structures!
