Metal Commercial Swing Set

Metal Commercial Swing Set - You may have been wondering what differentiates commercial swing sets from residential swing sets and I have been wondering the very same thing myself.

Therefore, I did some research and I am glad to share my findings with you, and they are as follows:

1. Commercial swing sets must meet or exceed specific regulatory outlines of a number of organizations such as American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Recreation Advisory Committee (RAC) that was established by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (ATBCB) who determine criteria for the use of materials, construction and workmanship.

These regulatory organizations cannot enforce the same criteria for Swing sets that had already been erected on private residential property. However, it is highly advisable to purchase swing sets that carry certifications from the same organizations.

2. For the most part, commercial swing sets have to withstand higher traffic and more intensive use. It is therefore mandated that commercial swing sets use more long-lasting and durable materials and utilize designs and workmanship that are more robust and hard-wearing.

Of course, there are no restrictions that will prevent parents from purchasing commercial strength swing sets for their children to use in their own backyards. As a matter of fact, I would advise parents to opt for the solid, commercial strength swing sets and ease their minds when neighborhood kids join in on the fun.

Metal swing sets are tough and durable enough for all your children’s friends to be included and powerful enough to hold up adults who care to play along with the kids. And why would you want so many bodies on your children’s swing set? Well, because it encourages social interaction and develops cooperative skills in your children and that is something that will be useful throughout their entire lives. Besides, fun multiplies, grows and enhances when it is shared with others.

Today’s metal commercial swing sets are constructed of rust-resistant galvanized steel with aluminum compression clamping yokes, galvanized ductile iron swing hangers with oil impregnated bearings, and rust-resistant galvanized coil chains. Also, their belt seats are slash-proof. As a result, these metal commercial swing sets are made strong for high performance and have the ability to withstand heavy use and exposure to the unfavorable weather conditions. They are guaranteed to last for many years.

Whether for use in public playgrounds, churches, daycare centers, schools, city parks, communal centers, or in your own backyard, commercial metal swing sets come in a variety of styles and models. They can also be easily modified for seat colors, pipe colors, number of bays and the height of each set, all to match your needs and dreams perfectly.

To plan the ideal metal commercial swing set several key issues must be addressed:

1. Location and space limitations. Metal commercial swing sets can be configured to just about any shape while leaving at least six feet of obstruction free safety space all around them.
2. Ages of the children who will be using the metal commercial swing set. Toddlers, preschoolers, primary and intermediate aged children all have different developmental levels and the typical age groups for swing sets are two to five and five to twelve.
3. The budget is of utmost importance but please keep in mind that costs of delivery, installation and safety surface materials must be figured in.
4. Personal preferences. There are many models and styles to choose from. There are also specific features and the options of standard configuration or customized designs.
5. Project execution. It is important to determine in advance who will be assembling and erecting the metal commercial swing set to create a safe environment for your children.
6. Plan for regular inspections and maintenance of the metal commercial swing set to ensure that all is in top working condition.

May your children have many years of fun in a completely safe environment.
