SWINGSET TYPES
Wooden Playsets
No one can ever go wrong with a nice, old fashioned feel of a wooden swing. For construction of wooden swing sets, cedar and redwood are most commonly used. Not only are they strong and sturdy timber, they are resistant to water, rot and insects. This is preferable for a swingset as you want your structure to last through years of play and wear and tear. Wooden swing sets needs to be made of wood that is first-rate; stained and sealed for maximum weight and endurance. Structurally sound for years. Swing sets also made of pine, fir, and spruce.
Metal Swing Sets
Another very sturdy material option for swing sets are metal. Overall maintenance of a metal swing set is pretty lowkey. However, unlike wood, metal isn’t as resistant to water and rust, so checking for these signs must be taken into consideration. One also might need to consider placing a metal swing set in the shade so it doesn’t get too overheated in the Marietta, Georgia sun. Overall maintenance of metal, though is not too overwhelming. You can count on long-lasting strength if you choose to go with a metal swing set.
Safety Features
Although swing sets allow children to be rowdy and playful, it is important to ensure your children’s safety as well. A carefully constructed play set includes sturdy and accessible handles, walls for multi-level structures, and extra accessories like rope and heavy duty pillars. Coated swing chains help little hands not to get pinched by the metal swing chains. It is also necessary to have professional-grade fixtures. Wooden playsets must have lumber that is precoated and sanded to prevent splinters and cuts.
Cement Install
When choosing the right playset for your family, safety must come first. For local Marietta, Georgia yards, grass is always versatile because of the humidity. Although, there are many creative ways to anchor swing sets to the ground, cement installation is the most secure way to ensure that the structure isn’t going anywhere. Generally speaking, cement installation requires digging into the ground, anchoring swing set legs to solid concrete, and reburrying them into the ground. With the correct materials and skills to discern complications that can come up with structure materials and the outside ground, you can have peace of mind knowing your children are safe playing on your new swing set.
