Galvanized Swingsets
To ensure value for the money you spend on a swing set, galvanized swingsets are the ones that will outlast all the rest. Galvanized steel or metal will not rust or crack, causing cuts to hands or arms. They can be painted to match the colour of the backyard furniture and can be left outside in all types of weather. They can be welded or bolted together using recessed hardware with nothing protruding to cause injuries. They are tough and sturdy and meant to withstand years of children’s usage.
Galvanized swingsets use aluminum compression clamping yokes, galvanized ductile swing hangers with oiled bearings, and rust resistant galvanized straight coil chains. The pipes used in the frame are galvanized inside and out. Black slash-proof belt seats are also used on galvanized swingsets. They require very little, if any, maintenance, and are extremely strong. They can hold more than the regular amount of weight recommended for ordinary swing sets so that they can be used by adults as well as children. An average metal galvanized swing set is rated for eight hundred pounds.
A galvanized swing set does not hold the heat from the sun as do other types of swing sets. As a result, there is no danger of burning hands by catching hold of the chains or the frame. The design of the set allows for additions to be made at a later date or as the children get older and need more play accessories added. The sets come with detailed instructions so that parents can install them in the backyard without having to pay extra installation charges.
