Swing Set FAQs

How much space do I need for a swing set?
You’ll need space for the frame footprint plus extra clearance around it for safe swinging and access. Keep it away from fences, walls and low branches, and allow room in front and behind the swing path.
Do swing sets need to be anchored?
Anchoring is recommended for stability, especially on grass or softer ground and in windy areas. Check the manufacturer guidance for the model you choose.
Wooden vs metal swing sets — which is better?
Wooden swing sets often blend into the garden and feel “natural,” while metal frames can be lower maintenance and quick to assemble. The best choice depends on your style preference, space and how you plan to use the set.
What should I put under a swing set?
A level surface is important. Grass can work, but many families choose a dedicated safety surface to provide extra cushioning in the swing area. Always follow product safety guidance.
What else pairs well with a swing set in the garden?
Create a bigger play zone by adding sensory play and climbing options. Explore Sandpits, Water Tables, and Climbing Domes.
