Swing Set Buying Guide
Hi, I'm Jack form Vuly Play. If you're on the hunt for a swing set or a cubby house, there's a few key things you need to think about before purchasing.
Outdoor swing sets start with just the cubby house, but can go as big as you can imagine.
One of the most important things to look for when purchasing a swing set is to measure your yard to make sure you can fit in there.
And remember, if you're looking at a swing set, you'll need an extra metre and a half clearance for each of the swings.
This Vuly model is a Max C3, it’s six and a half metres wide and our most popular configuration for families with a medium to large back garden.
Now, you can get a bigger swing set with this by having by having three bays on each side of the cubby house within the middle if you've got the space.
A good swing set should be flexible to match your backyard. Height and age is another important factor to consider when purchasing a swing set.
If you want to make sure your kids love their swing set as they get older, then an ideal configuration would be the 360 Pro Max.
This has an ample opportunity for larger swings, as well as things you can spin on and have double attachments for double users.
What's the frame on the swing set that you’re looking at made of? Thinner metal is prone to crack and wooden swing set frames are prone to going mouldy.
Make sure you're looking at a frame that is galvanized and powder-coated just like the Vuly swing set which is made to last in the Australian conditions.
Find out just how modular the products are, you don't want to be stuck with the same swings forever.
Great sets have options like the basketball set, soccer goals and cubbies available that you can easily add on.
For hot and sunny days make sure the swing set that you’re looking at comes with a shade cover to protect the user from the UV rays.
Vuly Shade covers are made from the same as commercial shade sails you’ll find in parks.
Don’t forgot to ask the manufacturer about the product safety testing and warranties.
Only consider a frame with a 10 year warranty on it from defects and faults, and if the manufacturer can’t provide this, then don’t risk it.
A good swing set will even allow you to purchase parts outside of the warranty period, which means you’ll save money instead of having to purchase a whole new unit.
By following this simple guide, you can't go wrong with choosing the perfect swing set for you and your family.
