Generally found in playgrounds and parks, a swing set is built to suspended several swings seats from the same frame, allowing more than one child to play at a time. Swing sets are made in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are crafted from a variety of materials, including wood. |
Wooden Swing Sets
Wooden swing sets are preferred by many people because of their unique look and durability. They are crafted from high-quality lumber (usually redwood, pine, or cedar) that has been sanded, weather treated, stained, sealed, and cut and drilled to precise measurements. Like any swing set, wooden swing sets are designed with safety in mind. They will come with sturdy brackets and other materials that conform to strict standards.
Wooden swing sets for children feature seats that can be made of rubber tire treads, plastic, metal, or wood. Most of today's swing sets will feature swings made of a flexible canvas seat, which is generally considered the ideal design for comfort. Toddler swings are specially made with little ones in mind. These swings feature leg holes to safely support the child in an upright position while a parent gently pushes from behind.
In addition to swings, wooden swing sets are available with a variety of additional components, such as:
Easy Assembly
Many consumer wooden swing sets are meant to be assembled after purchase. The assembly time will vary depending on the size and complexity of the swing set. However, it's not uncommon for a wooden swing set to be constructed in one long afternoon or two short ones (an average of around six hours).
The average wooden swing set can be assembled with common household tools that you probably own in your garage. In addition, free-standing wooden swing sets are widely available (meaning there's no need to dig holes in the ground or pour cement). Assembling a wooden swing set is such an easy job that virtually anyone can do it!
