How to Choose a Swing Set for Your Kids
Figuring out how to choose a swing set or a playset is a matter of balancing the fun accessories with the practical necessities. These are the main key points to take a look at when you’re shopping and checking out all sorts of different options:
- Guarantee It’s Safe — Just like you, we put safety first. Making sure the set is safe is the most important thing to look at before anything else. At Adventure World Play Sets, all of our swing beams are built ultra-durable to be able to withstand 2,000 pounds of pressure — which is far more than they would ever need to. In addition, every single one of our sets are 100% coated in vinyl to ensure that no one ever gets a splinter while playing. Learn more about the safety features that set our swing sets apart!
- Make Sure There’s Enough Room for Everyone — Wondering how to choose a swing set or backyard playset? Make sure there’s enough room so that everyone can be included. Since nobody likes waiting their turn to play, make sure you find a set that has enough swings, slides, and seats for your children and all of their friends. We build simple sets that start with just 2 swings — and we also build huge swing sets that can accommodate 10+ kids at once!
- Check If It’s Maintenance-Free — Unless you want another backyard chore, make sure you ask some questions about this feature before you buy anything. Unfortunately, wooden swing sets require being re-painted or re-stained every so often in order to stop them from rotting out and falling apart. However, well-built vinyl playsets (like ours) will NEVER need painted, stained, or maintained in order to stand up to the elements. Our roofs are made of thick poly wood or solid molded plastic, no canvas roofs that get moldy and eventually wear thin and fall apart.
- See If There Are Multiple Ways to Play — A variety of ways to play is key to keeping kids entranced by their playset. That’s why the vast majority of our sets all include swings, slides, and at least one tower. These options allow young ones to enjoy upbeat, high-energy fun as well as imagination games. However, these options are just the tip of the iceberg — we build a wide variety of interesting accessories like rock walls, sandboxes, monkey bars, lemonade stands, and so much more! Check out even more of our most popular playset accessories.
- Make Sure the Kids Love It — When it comes to figuring out how to choose a swing set, go with the best judge: your kids. Simply put, if the kids don’t love it, don’t buy it. The new swing set is a gift for them, so they need to be excited for it! If they think the set looks bland, boring, or altogether uninspiring, take their word for it and keep looking.
