Vinyl Swing Sets

Today their are so many choices when it comes to swing swts, wooden, metal or vinyl. Waldo Semon, a rubber scientist during the early 1920s quite accidentally stumbled onto a new material with fantastic properties while searching for a synthetic adhesive. Fascinated and amazed, he experimented by making golf balls and shoe heels out of this material called polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. Soon after his discovery, PVC-based products were developed and used widely. Plants manufacturing PVC, commonly known as vinyl, began to spring up during the 1930s to meet the ever grown demand for a variety of industrial applications.

Methods for enhancing vinyl’s durability and resistance to extreme temperatures were refined and vinyl products quickly became essentials in the construction industry—the plastic’s resistance to corrosion, light and chemicals made it ideal for many building applications.

Rigid as pipe or pliable as plastic wrap, vinyl is a leading material of the 21st century. Today, vinyl is the second largest-selling plastic in the world, and the industry employs more than 100,000 people in the United States alone. Vinyl’s low cost, versatility and performance make it the material of choice for dozens of industries such as health care, communications, aerospace, automotive, retailing, textiles, construction, and swing sets.

Vinyl swing sets are made out of treated and preserved lumber covered with top grade non-toxic, non-absorbent vinyl. Combining the strength of wood and the easy-to-care vinyl, your swing set will be safe and attractive for many years with no yearly maintenance, no discoloration, no rotting, and no splintering. Furthermore, you will never need to stain, you will never need to seal, and you will never need to paint. Vinyl swing sets will retain their original beauty for many years of fun play experiences and developmental growth for you and your children.

Vinyl swing sets come in a wide variety of swing set styles to fit your pocket and your personal needs, from the very basic and simple swing set with a slide and a swing to a super deluxe extravaganza with an elaborate play set that has several playhouses, tunnels, and bridges. There is a vinyl swing set that is just right for everyone including you and your children. And if not, there is always the option of customization.

The only thing that exceeds the level of quality of your vinyl swing set is the pride that its manufacturers take in providing you with complete worry-free safety, comfort, and durability, by including:

• heavy-duty stainless steel corner brackets with powder coated finish complete with stainless steel fasteners
• all lags, bolts, and screws are stainless steel
• slip-resistant surfaces for comfort and wellbeing
• construction ensures no weight limitations except for the tube slide which has a 220 pound weight restriction
• every component will perpetually retain smoothness
• all corners are rounded

And for added security please always remember that 60 percent of all playground injuries are caused by falls to the ground. Therefore protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment is the most critical safety factor on playgrounds. Certain loose-fill surfacing materials such as double shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand, and fine gravel are acceptable, as are some manufactured shock-absorbing synthetic surfaces.

Your vinyl swing set is not just an ordinary swing set. It is like a trip to an amusement park in the privacy of your own backyard. You and your children will cherish your vinyl swing set for years.
