5 Signs You Have Found the Perfect Swing Set

Whether you are walking through the cavernous, formidable aisles of a large chain store or you have opted to shop online, searching for the perfect swing set can be a daunting task. With so many options available today, how do you know which playset is the right one for you? This is a pricey investment, so you really want to feel like you are getting the set that has your name on it. So how do you know? Here are 5 signs that will tell you that you and your swing set were meant for each other (MFEO).

MFEO Sign #1: It's the Right Fit

Sizing is an important factor when it comes to backyard playground equipment. Too big and it won’t fit into your yard, too small and it won’t accommodate the needs of your children as they grow. For example, a 4’ structure might look great for your 3-year old, but a toddler will quickly turn four, then five, and then six, outgrowing that 4’ swing set along with his tiny Baby Gap jeans.

Look for a jungle gym that will fit within the parameters of your yard but that is also large enough to give you several years of play. A 5’ deck is a good average size that ensures room to grow, though you can go larger if you have the space and need.

MFEO Sign #2: It Feels Right

As a parent, you know your kids better than anyone, and you know what they’ll like. Some kids enjoy climbing more than anything else. Those kids are going to need swing sets with rock climbing walls. Other kids enjoy holding secret meetings way up on the fort deck. These kids must have a swing set with a tree house or a swing set with a clubhouse. Think about the features that will make your kids happy, and then when you see those swing set accessories, you’ll know you’ve found the one.

MFEO Sign #3: It’s About Time

Putting together your children’s wooden swing set is going to take time, but how much time will depend on the set you buy. You know your schedule, and you know how much free time you’ll have to devote to this project. If you’re time is more limited than most, then finding an outdoor wood playset with easy assemble parts is a must. You’ll know it’s the right one if it comes with pre-drilled holes, pre-assembled walls, and outdoor swing set accessories that are already put together.

MFEO Sign #4: It’s Online

Are you the type of person who would rather do their shopping from the comfort of their own home? Why fight the crowds, parking lots, and checkout lines when you can do it all while reclining on the couch and wearing your pjs? If this is your attitude towards commerce, then the best kids playsets for you will be found online. But what will make you realize that you and this playset were MFEO is the shipping policy. If you can enjoy having your set delivered straight to your front door, then it’s love at first click.

MFEO Sign #5: It Has That Personal Touch

How many times have you called the customer service line to ask about an item you were interested in and met disappointment? The reps barely speak English, don’t have the technical know-how to answer your questions, or never answer at all! If you find a company that picks up when you call, speaks clearly, understands your questions, and has the answers you’ve been looking for, then it’s a clear sign that this is the kids playground equipment for you.

Searching for the wooden playground set of your dreams still? It’s time to get serious. Read up onThe Ultimate Swing Set Guide for Parents so you and your kids can choose, purchase, install, and play with your wooden play set safely and with ease.
