Choosing the Right Swing Set for Your Family
Space Considerations
Before purchasing a swing set, measure your backyard and account for safety zones. Australian safety guidelines recommend at least 2 metres of clear space around swinging equipment. Compact models need approximately 4m x 3m total space, while larger adventure playsets require 6m x 5m or more.
Age & Development
Our timber swing sets cater to children aged 3-12 years, with features suited to different developmental stages. Younger children (3-5 years) thrive with basic swings and low slides, while older children (6-12 years) enjoy the challenge of climbing walls, monkey bars, elevated platforms, and more complex play structures.
Growth & Expansion
All our swing sets are designed to grow with your family. Start with a basic swing and slide combination for toddlers, then add climbing features, additional swing seats, and monkey bars as children's abilities develop. This modular approach maximises your investment and keeps play experiences fresh and engaging.
Swing Set Safety & Maintenance
Safety is our highest priority. Every outdoor swing set from Hide & Seek Kids features:
- Rounded edges and smooth finishes to prevent splinters and injuries
- Quality materials including timber (finished with water-based stain) and painted steel frames
- Appropriate height restrictions and weight capacities for each age group
- Detailed assembly instructions with safety guidelines
- Quality hardware designed to withstand active play
Maintenance Tips: Inspect your swing set regularly for loose bolts, wear on ropes or seats, and overall condition. For timber components, ensure the Swing Set is painted/sealed as needed to maintain appearance. For painted metal frames, check for any surface wear or paint chips. Keep safety zones clear of obstacles. Proper maintenance will help extend the life of your swing set.
