    Swing sets, playgrounds, and outdoor play centres FAQs

    What safety features should I look for in a swing set or play centre?

    Safety should be the top priority when selecting a swing set or play centre. Look for key features such as rounded edges to prevent injuries, non-slip steps for safe climbing, and secure swing attachments with heavy-duty chains or ropes. Ensure the frame is reinforced with cross-bracing for stability and strength. Additionally, check if the set complies with recognised safety standards, such as EN71, and make sure it includes ground anchors or the option to bolt it securely into place to prevent tipping or shifting during use.

    Do play centres come and swings with age recommendations?

    Yes, most swing sets and play centres have specific age recommendations to ensure they are suitable for the intended age group. It’s important to choose a set that aligns with your child’s developmental stage, as younger children require lower swings and gentler slides, while older children may enjoy more complex climbing and balancing features.

    Are they suitable for year-round use?

    Most are built to handle outdoor conditions year-round, but some additional care might be needed. Metal components are typically rust-resistant, and plastic or treated wood can withstand weathering. However, in extreme weather, it’s a good idea to inspect the set for any wear and tear and cover or store removable accessories.

    How do I maintain the ground surface?

    To ensure safety, it's recommended to have a soft surface around your play centre, such as rubber mulch, grass, or sand. Regularly check for any hard spots or uneven ground and make sure the surface is level to reduce the risk of injury during falls or active play.
