All About Swing Sets

Maybe you started out swinging from an old tire, or dangling upside down from a steel bar suspended on a pair of chains. How do you improve on that? Easy, if you recall that those old swing sets were greasy, slippery, and sometimes just plain toxic, not to mention they were often conducive to an occasional knot on the head.

Modern swing sets are safer and cleaner. They come with more thrilling add-ons than you could have dreamed up as a kid. Some are just right for your wobbly toddler, while others provide high-wire thrills for the monkey in the family. Thanks to our attractive designs and bright colors, your kids will always have plenty of playmates.

One thing hasn't changed: kids still get to use their imagination!

How to choose a location for your playhouse

Our playhouses and playsets are designed to light up your imagination, and it's easy to dream big. Use this guide to put the right size house on the right spot by checking how level the site is, knowing how much extra running room you'll need around it, and surrounding it all with a safe ground covering.

Swing Set Safety

It's all fun and games, until you-know-what. All of the swing sets at SwingSetSource.com are designed to be safe and sturdy. Our safety guide will help you pick the right set for your children's age, and install it properly. After that, just keep an eye on those munchkins, and the only cries you'll hear will be squeals of delight.

Possible Conflicts with Swing Sets

Somebody always has to come along and act like an adult. Zoning laws, neighborhood covenants, and safety regulations might seem like a downer, but they are designed to keep your kids safe. We'll show you what to watch for on the legal front before you buy, so you choose a swing set that even a lawyer would love.

Playhouse & Playset Material Care

Maintaining a playhouse is about the same as a real house, only without the wobbly ladder. On this small scale, cleaning and painting can be fun, and there's no reason you can't let your kids get involved. (Okay, maybe one reason.) Get extra years of fun and fantasy out of your playhouse with these helpful maintenance tips.
