Outdoor Freestanding Playground Equipment

A: Unlike components, freestanding playground equipment is not attached to the main playground structure. These are exciting stand-alone features such as swing sets, see-saws, and rock climbing equipment that give children a quieter space away from the main structure to play!

A: Should not be used in a playground designed for children aged 2-5. No standing while the merry-go-round is moving. No pushing or shoving allowed. Wait until it has come to a complete stop before getting on or off.

A: The best option for maximizing the lifespan of your swing set, is to apply a wood sealer. A sealer will protect the wood from the elements, as well as insects and other pests that may cause damage to the wood.

A: 8" minimum for swings with limited sideways motion. 24" minimum between swings with unlimited lateral motion (such as disk swings) and support poles when measured from the side of the swing perpendicular to the plane formed by the support poles.

A: Kids should always sit facing one another, not turned around. Teach kids to hold on tightly with both hands while on a seesaw, not to touch the ground or push off with their hands, and to keep feet to the sides, out from underneath the seesaw.
