See detailsHow much space does a swing set need?
More than the frame itself. Swings need clear space in front and behind, and every piece of equipment needs a safety zone around it. Try our Backyard Space Planner and we confirm on site.
What should go under a playset?
Soft surfacing such as rubber mulch, engineered wood fiber, poured-in-place rubber or tiles, at a depth suited to the equipment height and the product. We help you choose and install it.
What age is a backyard playset good for?
It depends on the equipment. Toddlers and older kids need different features, so we plan with your kids’ ages and leave room to add as they grow.
Is a trampoline enclosure necessary?
A net enclosure and spring pads are a strong part of a safer setup. We recommend them and explain good house rules.
