What is the best swing set for my backyard?

The best swing set for your backyard depends on your space, budget, and your kids' age and interests. Look for durable materials like wood or metal, safety features, and age-appropriate designs. If you have limited space, a compact set with swings and slides may work best. Larger yards can accommodate multi-activity sets with climbing walls, monkey bars, and forts. Always check weight limits and safety certifications.

Do you need a permit for a swing set?

No, you typically don't need a permit for a swing set. However, if you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association (HOA), you should check their rules and guidelines, as they may have specific regulations about outdoor structures.

How do you install a swing set on uneven ground?

Most playsets and swing sets require some leveling to be properly installed. We will dig out the space under the frame to ensure it is level and safe for use. At Colorado Backyard Company, leveling out your structure is included in the cost, call us for more info.

What type of swing set will last the longest?

All of our swing sets are built to withstand cold, wet Colorado winters and dry, hot summers. With that being said, our experience has shown the wooden swing sets to withstand the harshest conditions. All of our swing sets come pre-stained, although we recommend adding sealant as well. On installation day, we can provide a sealant service on any cedar product with our premium penetrating oil finish for an additional cost. Make sure to always maintain your swing set with proper sanding and staining when necessary to ensure longevity!
