Determine the Ideal Age Range
Consider the intended users when selecting play equipment. For example, a swing set for a school playground might be designed for kids aged 5 to 12, while equipment for a daycare should be suitable for younger children between 2 to 5.

Common Metal Swing Set FAQs
Read on for answers to some common questions about our steel and metal swing sets.
Do metal swing sets rust outdoors?
Yes - over time, outdoor exposure will inevitably lead to rust on metal swing sets. This holds true for all commercial metal playground equipment, which is susceptible to deterioration from rain, snow, and other environmental factors. However, protective coatings and regular maintenance can help prevent rust from building up and destroying your playground equipment.
Are metal swing sets safer than wooden swing sets?
While both wooden and metal swing sets have their own unique safety issues (ex: splinters vs burns) wooden swing sets are considered slightly safer, though only with frequent maintenance such as sanding, insect inspections, and regular part replacements.

What age range is best for a commercial metal swing set?
Commercial metal swing sets are suitable for a broad age range, typically from 2-12 years of age. However, there are plenty of options for younger children, like infants or toddlers, or even adults if they are within the weight limits.
How long do galvanized steel swing sets last?
How long your swing set lasts depends heavily on regular maintenance and the environment, but according to the American Galvanizers Association, hot-dip galvanized steel can last for up to 75 years before requiring significant repairs.
What’s the difference between a heavy duty and standard metal swing set?
Typically, a heavy-duty metal swing set is built with stronger metals such as galvanized or stainless steel, and equipped with reinforced joints and durable hardware. Standard metal swing sets are usually made for residential vs commercial use, and can be made of lighter-gauge steel or aluminum. Heavy-duty metal swing sets are often built for high levels of use and different age groups in mind, while standard ones are commonly built for lower levels of use.
How do you secure a metal swing set in the ground?
Metal swing sets are commonly secured to the ground with concrete, but there are other ways to anchor them including ground anchors, metal stakes, and screw pile anchors.
