Outdoor Playsets - Safety First

Outdoor PlaysetsWhen choosing an outdoor play set, it is relatively easy to look out for the obvious risks your child might encounter: falling from heights, an un-cushioned play area, trip hazards, etc. What many parents and guardians may overlook is the possibility that the playset itself could pose a threat, if the wrong type of set is chosen.

Cheaply made, poorly constructed outdoor playsets can, at times, be fraught with unforeseen hazards due to their inferior construction. Metal sets can become searing hot in the sun, and can burn delicate skin. Lightweight sets, if not properly anchored with concrete at the base or anchor cables, can easily tip during play. Over time, thin metal tubing can rust and become weak or develop sharp edges on which a child can get cut.

Wooden sets made from thin or knotty wood can crack and splinter, putting a child at risk for cuts, punctures or even failure of a supporting beam. Backyard playsets made from pine and other wood may be treated with harmful chemicals intended to preserve the wood.

Eastern Jungle Gym Backyard Playsets

backyard playsetsThe solid wood construction of Eastern’s backyard playsets means children are safe from many of the dangers inherent with metal and cheaper wood sets. Our premium cedar wood is cut to 4″x4″ and 4″x6″ sizes, much thicker than our competitors’ beams and posts. All the wood is sanded and the corners are rounded so that there are no sharp edges on any of our outdoor playsets on which a child can get injured.

Heavy-duty plastic slides, swings and other accessories are UV protected to provide a cooler play surface. Each Eastern Jungle Gym outdoor play set comes with a ground support system to ensure even weight distribution and a leveling system that allows you to arrange your playset according to your unique property conditions.

Caring for All Wooden Playgrounds and Playsets

Wood Swingset Kits

If you’ve made the decision to go for it and purchase a high quality wooden jungle gym for your family, congratulations! Wood swingset kits are a tremendous value, offering an easy-to-assemble backyard haven that children of all ages can enjoy for many years. With yearly care, a wooden playground can stay just as sturdy, stable, safe and attractive a decade from now as it was when you first put it together. To achieve long-lasting performance from your playset and swing set accessories, take a few moments once in a while to perform some basic maintenance.

Routinely inspect your backyard play equipment for wear and damage. Make sure all bolts are intact and tightened. In addition to inspecting the playset itself, inspect the surroundings to make sure the ground around it is free of debris, and that materials used to mulch the ground are in adequate supply.

Keep playground equipment clean of dirt, germs, bugs and bird droppings with regular washing (a power washer is probably a good investment for this purpose). The premium cedar wood used in the construction of Eastern’s Swing Sets is naturally rot and pest resistant, and is factory stained and sealed; however, you should re-seal the wood with a recommended sealer every year to ensure the beauty of your Eastern Jungle Gym.
