Swingset FAQ

How Much Weight Can a Metal Swing Set Hold?

Metal swings typically hold between 400 and 500 pounds. We can help you find a heavy-duty swing set for adults that easily supports even large grown-ups at play.

What Is the Best Material to Put Under a Swing Set?

There should be a safe surface under any commercial swing set to prevent injuries from falls. Commercial playground swings can be placed over wood chips or rubber mulch.

How Much Clearance Is Needed for a Swing Set?

Ideally, there should be at least six feet of clearance in every direction around the swing set. Each double swing set model will be equipped with appropriate spacing between swing seats and proper clearance from the top of the structure. When planning the layout of your space, you'll just need to make sure that you've given your swing set frame six feet of clearance on all sides for the safety of children at play on and off the swings.

Can Adults Go on Swings?

Adults can go on swings, though it's important to make sure that the swing set in question is designed for this use. Before swinging, find out how much weight the structure can support to avoid injury and damage to the structure.

What Are the Different Types of Swings?

The types of swings we sell include:

  • Rock and Glide Tire Swings
  • Tripod Tire Swings
  • T Swings
  • Single Post Swings
  • Bipod Swings

What Kind of Metal Are Swing Sets Made Of?

Generally, the best backyard swings for kids are made from long-lasting steel. A powder-coated finish may be applied to these structures in order to protect the metal. Each modern swing set frame from AAA State of Play is made from high-quality materials and built to last.

How Deep Should a Swing Set Post Be?

The holes for the swing set poles should be at least 24 inches deep.

How Do I Keep My Swing Set From Sinking?

To secure a swing set and make sure the frame doesn't sink deeper into the ground, place the legs of the frame on top of a house brick or cement block with gravel placed beneath that. Fill in the hole with dirt or cement to anchor it in place. The brick stops the legs from sinking, and the cement or dirt filling supports the structure.

How Long Do Metal Swing Sets Last?

Most metal swing sets last between 15 and 20 years. Make sure to check for rusting or other issues as the swing set ages to ensure that the structure is still safe. You can rely on the safety of your swing set frame for at least 15 years before you begin looking for signs of wear and tear. For many families, this is the perfect length of time to own a safe swing set, as it's plenty of time for their children to enjoy it as they grow.

Which Is the Best Metal Swing Set to Buy?

The best swing sets will vary depending on your needs and preferences. If you're shopping online for a park, church, or schoolyard swing set, you'll want to prioritize what features are important and keep in mind the amount of space available for your outdoor swing set. No matter what type of play swings suits you, you'll find the best selection of swing sets when you shop with AAA State of Play.

Are Metal or Wood Swing Sets Better?

For the most durable, safe option, choose metal swings. Outdoor play equipment is typically longer-lasting when made of metal, and wooden equipment can lead to splinters over time. That makes a metal commercial-grade swing set ultimately more affordable and comfortable for years of play.

How Much Does a Metal Swing Set Cost?

Our commercial swing sets for schools range in price from around $500 to around $3,500. When asking, "How much is a swing set?" consider the size of the equipment and its features, which will influence the swing set prices you should expect. While we pride ourselves on offering great equipment for sale at great prices, a heavy-duty single swing set for adults will cost more than small, plastic equipment for toddlers.
