Frequently Asked Questions

• Which material works best for outdoor backyard swing sets that last?

The top materials for home gardens are treated woods such as cedar wood and metallic swings with rust protection coating. Wooden swings have an aesthetically pleasing appearance and can withstand all types of weather conditions, while galvanized metal provides strength for your kids backyard playground equipment.

• What age groups are children's garden playsets designed for?

Most standard children’s garden playsets and outdoor climbing frames for kids are built for ages 3 to 12 years old. However, specific toddler equipment, like low-to-the-ground sand tables or secure bucket outdoor swings, is specifically adapted for infants and younger preschoolers. 

• How much clear space is required to safely install a swing set?

As a general safety rule, you should maintain a clear zone of at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) on all sides of your kids outdoor play equipment. For standard outdoor swings or a full swing set, ensure there is clear clearance in the front and back extending twice the total height of the top swing beam. 

• Am I supposed to provide a protective surface under the climbing structure for my kids?

Certainly, using a shock-absorbent safety surface underneath the equipment is advised to minimize the risk of falls among children. With regards to backyard swing sets and slides, the impact-absorbent layers such as rubber mulch, wood chips, and grass turf should be used for sufficient cushioning.

• Can I leave outdoor water play sets out in the summertime?

Absolutely, as outdoor water play sets and splash towers are made of high density UV protected plastic material which is very safe for children. The material won’t crack, fade, or decompose in the scorching summertime, thus being very durable outdoor toys for gardens.
