How to Choose the Right Spot for Your Playground & Swing Set ๐
Before installing a playground, choosing the right location is key to safety and longevity. Here are a few things to consider:
๐ Flat & Even Ground โ Uneven surfaces can cause instability. If necessary, minor leveling may be required.
๐ Safe Distance from Obstacles โ Keep playsets at least 6 feet away from fences, walls, or trees.
๐ Soft Landing Surface โ Consider grass, rubber mulch, or sand under swings and slides for added safety.
๐ Sun vs. Shade โ A shaded area prevents hot slides in the summer, but too much shade may cause mold or dampness.
๐ Accessibility โ Make sure parents have a clear line of sight for supervision and easy access.
