Metal Swing Sets

You have already made up you mind to buy a swing set. Why not buy a metal swing set and, to take it one step further, why not buy a metal swing set that is of the same solid, durable quality that you find in public playgrounds, especially if its cost remains within your budget?

Furthermore, metal swing sets take up only small amount of space in your backyard and they will entertain your children for hours without ever having to worry about splinters or replacing beams.

A heavy duty metal swing set will be durable enough for your own children, of course, and the neighborhood kids as well. Think about it. Your children will not only have fun developing strength, coordination and dexterity, they will also enhance their social skills through increased social interaction and cooperation. I would call that well rounded education in one swoop while amassing unforgettable memories of a joy-filled childhood.

The high quality metal swing sets are handcrafted of materials selected for their strength and ability to withstand heavy usage and exposure to adverse weather conditions. These 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 4/0 straight coil chains. Black slash-proof belt seats are standard features of all metal swing sets. The fine quality metal swing sets are constructed for high performance and longevity, and will outlive your kids’ childhoods as well as the childhoods of your grandchildren.

For the safety of your children and anyone else using your metal swing set please adhere to the following:
In order to maintain maximum stability, it is highly advisable to position the swing set in a flat level area.
To prevent injuries from impact with moving swings, there should be no more than two swing seats suspended in the same section or bay of the support structure.

Sixty percent of all playground injuries are caused by falls to the ground. It is therefore crucial to use protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment.

Stationary climbing equipment should have a “fall zone” extending a minimum of 6 feet in all directions. Swings should have a “fall zone” that is two times the height of the pivot or swing hanger in front and in back of the swing seats.

Grass and turf are not absorbent sufficiently but loose-fill surfacing materials such as double shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand, and fine gravel are. Certain manufactured synthetic surfaces are acceptable but performance data should be acquired before their use.

Playgrounds must be inspected regularly with an awareness for hazards such as loosened, worn or protruding hardware; exposed footings; cracks; decay; corrosion; missing or damaged parts. All “S” hooks must be closed as tightly as possible.

The spring clips are used for ease of changing out accessories, for adjusting height and for added safety. Since spring clips prevent swings from come off when in use, they must never be exchanged for any other kind of clips.

Metal swing sets come in dozens of different styles, sizes and colors. Consequently, you will find the exact model to fit your backyard, your children’s needs and your personal preference. And the good news is that if you and your spouse decide to swing in your old age, you will not need to worry whether this metal swing set will hold you up—because it will.
