Safety of your wood swing set.

When considering purchasing a wood swing set, always consider your child's safety. Most all of the wood swing sets require a 6' safety space be placed around the set's perimeter. This is to ensure that your child has plenty of space to enjoy all of the features of the playset without interfering with any surrounding landscape features, i.e.; trees, fences and driveways. Look out for any features that may interfere with another. Is the slide aiming in the right direction? Will the swings swing out and hit anything nearby?

Keeping these features in mind when looking to purchase will help you and your children enjoy the wood swing set all the more.
