About Staining and Sealing
Protect the wood and refresh the look
Tennessee weather is hard on wood, with hot sun, heavy rain and humid summers. A good stain or sealer, refreshed every few years, protects it from moisture and fading.
We clean the wood, repair surface damage, sand rough spots and apply stain or sealer suited to playsets, in a color you like.

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical playgrounds and yards, not completed Music City Playgrounds projects. Every play area is planned and confirmed with a visit before work begins, and permit, HOA and local requirements depend on your property and location. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
How often should I stain my playset?
Many sets benefit from a fresh coat every few years, depending on the product and the exposure. We tell you what to watch for.
Is stain safe for kids?
Choose products suited to playsets and let them cure fully. We use appropriate products and explain drying times.
Do I need to sand first?
Light sanding smooths rough spots and helps the finish. We prepare the wood properly before staining.
