- Where can I purchase Swing-N-Slide products?
Through most lumberyards and home centers throughout US and Canada. Swing-N-Slide does not sell directly to consumers. Refer to our Store Locator to find a retailer near you.
- Do I need a level area?
Yes, we recommend a flat level area upon which the play equipment will sit in order to maintain maximum stability.
- Should I nail the set together or use screws?
Nailing is satisfactory, however wood screws provide exceptional holding power and eliminate the chance of marring the wood with a hammer.
- What type of wood should I use?
Any type which is recommended for outdoor projects such as decks, playground equipment or water front projects.
- What kind of surface should I have under and around my kit?
Soft surfaces, laid after installation, are ideal under your swing set. Never place your swing set over hard surfaces like blacktop, concrete or packed earth where injury could result in the event of a fall. The CPSC recommends the following loose fill surfacing materials: wood mulch (9” depth), double shredded bark mulch (9” depth), uniform wood chips (12” depth), fine sand (12” depth) and fine gravel (12” depth). Refer to the Safe Assembly Practices for more complete information on surfacing materials.
- What features should I look for when selecting a swing set for my family?
First and foremost, the swing sets frame work needs to be sturdy. Corner posts should be at least 4”x4”s and swings should be hung off a 4”x6” (or two laminated 2”x6”s) beam.You should also consider the space you have available in your yard. This is often referred to as the “Minimum Use Zone”. The “Minimum Use Zone” encompasses the space required by the swing set, as well as the recommended clearance space around the set to ensure the safest possible play area. A swing set should also offer challenges that allow for your children’s growth and development for years to come. Outdoor play promotes the physical, imaginative, social and cognitive development of your children.

- What size area do I need for a swing set?
Each swing set project has a different space requirement. Please see each individual project for space requirements.
- Will it be a problem if my yard is not level or slopes?
Yes, we recommend a flat level area upon which the swing beam’s “A” frame will sit in order to maintain maximum stability. If your backyard is not level, we recommend leveling out an area large enough for the set prior to construction.
