Wood swingsets made with cedar, offer the best choice for those wanting a swing set that will last for many years. The cedar used in swing sets is generally Northern White Cedar. This wood has a pleasing aroma to people, but one that repels insects, moths and other pests. It is the longest lasting material that wood swingsets can be built from as it is naturally rot-resistant, splinter free and will not warp.
Swing sets built from cedar can hold adults as well as children up to a total of two thousand pounds. A cedar swing set in your backyard could withstand the rigorous play of all the neighbourhood children. It suits any environment and d?r. Cedar swing sets can be stained, but left natural as they age gracefully to a silver finish.
Factories that manufacture cedar swing sets are subject to strict industry standards both for the quality of wood and the safety measures in the assembly of the set. The sets come with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for assembly and installation. However, many companies do have installers on their staff that can do the installation for you.
Wood swingsets can also be built on-site according to a set of plans or blueprints. These kits include all the hardware you need, but you have to purchase the wood separately. Some more expensive kits include the pre-cut and re-drilled wood in the pieces recommended for the size specified in the kit. The building of a wood swing set could become a family project.
