How to Choose the Right Spot for Your Playground & Swing Set 📍
Before installing a playground, choosing the right location is key to safety and longevity. Here are a few things to consider:
📌 Flat & Even Ground – Uneven surfaces can cause instability. If necessary, minor leveling may be required.
📌 Safe Distance from Obstacles – Keep playsets at least 6 feet away from fences, walls, or trees.
📌 Soft Landing Surface – Consider grass, rubber mulch, or sand under swings and slides for added safety.
📌 Sun vs. Shade – A shaded area prevents hot slides in the summer, but too much shade may cause mold or dampness.
📌 Accessibility – Make sure parents have a clear line of sight for supervision and easy access.
