During the summer season, grown-ups are not the only ones to enjoy the garden. Children also spend a lot of their time there, especially if they are not going on vacation. All the more reason to provide them with a play area worthy of the name. The swing is one of the essentials.
Do you dream of an allotment garden? Think about setting up a space dedicated to children. The little ones will be able to run or shout there freely, without disturbing or upsetting the adults. In return, adults can quietly indulge in their favorite activities and hobbies. You will see, everyone will find their account. What's more, you don't need to do any major upheavals in your garden. With us, for example, the installation of a swing has also made it possible to clearly delimit the zones. I also noticed that it is the most common equipment in private homes. Public or private, all playgrounds are equipped with them.
You can also choose to make it yourself or buy a model swing set ready to assemble. For parents who opt for self-construction, trust only climbing frames, seating and equipment bearing CE certification. This standard guarantees their robustness and safety.
When it comes to support material, nothing beats the strength of steel. However, wood is also an excellent alternative if the gasoline has been treated against insects and moisture. For the rope, choose polyethylene with a minimum diameter of 10 millimeters, or use chains. Renowned for its high resistance to UV rays, this material easily supports a maximum load of 250 kilos. Will small children ride on it? Provide a baby seat with a protective bar and a lap seat belt.
Fortunately, you can easily find swing accessories on the internet. For me, the safety of the children was really paramount. This is why I immediately preferred to buy a fully equipped swing with a metal structure. And to be sure that everything is done in compliance with safety rules, I even asked a professional to install it. But first of all, you have to start by determining its location.
The porch takes up a lot of space. Take a good look at the space available in your garden before attaching the legs of your swing. All you need is this play area to occupy your entire yard! In addition, so that you can move around freely, an open area, if possible without trees, is the most appropriate. In addition, a minimum distance of 2 meters must be observed both in front, last and on the sides.
To limit the risk of accidents, the swing legs must be firmly anchored to the ground. The falls will undoubtedly be very numerous. To cushion them without too many sores, avoid hard coverings such as tiles, linoleum, macadam or even concrete. Be careful, the ground is also very hard. Instead, prefer grass. Or do like me, cover the ground with thick sand.
