Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is best to put under a swing set?

A: To protect children from injuring themselves in a fall, place a rubber mat underneath your swing set. Other options include loose-fill materials like rubber mulch, sand or shredded bark. Regardless of the material you choose, make sure to place it at least 6 feet beyond the playset in each direction.

Q: Is a wood or metal swing better?

A: Both metal and wood swings make good choices if they adhere to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. Metal swings are subject to rust which can cause bending and breaking, whereas some wood swings are naturally resistant to the elements, depending on the lumber used to build them. If you opt for a metal swing set, choose one made with heavy-gauge steel. For wood swing sets, look for options designed with metal brackets for extra reinforcement.

Q: Can you put a playhouse on grass?

A: Though it’s better to put a playhouse on grass than concrete, it’s even more ideal to use a base of sand, pea gravel, mulch, shredded rubber or rubber mats. Worn grass can become compacted soil which can be hard on a child’s body should they fall.
