King of Swings

Have a playset-related question? King of Swings has the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • What kind of wood do you use and why do recommend it?

    All playground sets are made of pressure-treated (ACQ) southern yellow pine. This is the type of pressure-treated pine approved by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Products Safety Commission for public playground use. In addition, we plane, route, sand, cut, drill, and inspect every board for maximum safety and aesthetics. When compared to redwood or cedar, pressure-treated yellow pine is stronger and lasts longer.

  • Is any advance ground leveling or site preparation necessary prior to the installation of a playset?

    None whatsoever for any playground sets offered by King of Swings.

  • Are there warranties on King of Swings playsets?

    Of course! For our playground equipment, our warranties are as follows: 


    • Residential Treated Wood Products: 15-year warranty

    • Commerical Treated Wood Products: 10-year warranty

    • Everything Else: Two-year warranty

  • Is a site visit by King of Swings personnel to evaluate space and/or terrain levelness necessary or recommended prior to the installation of a playset?

    A site inspection is usually not needed for most playground equipment installations because of our in-grounding technique and proprietary modular playset designs which can be adapted to almost any slope or ground condition.


    However, we do recommend a site inspection if any of the following conditions exist in the immediate proximity of the desired installation location:


    1. Extreme slope
    2. Objects that may impede installation or prevent safe play (e.g. large stones, trees, thorny shrubs, retaining walls, fences, etc)
  • Can I start with a smaller playset and add on to it later?

    Yes! Most King of Swings playground sets are designed to be modular. Starting with a basic set does not limit future options. Almost all playsets we offer can be added to or enlarged at any time in the future.

  • Even though King of Swings prices are already super competitive, are there ever any special sales or discounts offered?

    King of Swings strives to offer our customers the best price at all times. However, we do offer sales on playground equipment at certain times of the year.

  • Although there is almost an infinite amount of playset configurations, can you provide us with a general range of prices?

    80% of our classic designs fall within a range of $1,990 to $2,700, although there are some playground sets that are both above and below that range. That way, no matter your budget, you're able to secure a playset for your home. According to Facts.net, it's recommended that children engage in 60 minutes of active play per day.

  • Are King of Swings playsets available in kit form for Do-It-Yourselfers?

    Yes, all playsets can be picked up or delivered to you in kit form. When playground equipment is ordered in kit form to be installed by the customer: 


    • All wood is pre-cut and pre-drilled

    • Many components are pre-assembled (We try to minimize loose wood)

    • Basic instructions and step-by-step directions are provided

  • Can playground accessories be purchased separately?

    Yes, everything from swings and slides to steering wheels and telescopes (and everything in between) can be purchased separately. However, keep in mind that all King of Swings playground sets come standard with a full complement of playground accessories.
