The Bottom Line Safety and Quality, built to last!
Hi, and welcome to another epinion by seaners777. How about some nice weather and a lot of fun for your children this summer? Sounds good to me, so here we go!
Kids love to play, and play, and play. Where do they get all the energy to do this? I believe that somehow children can draw energy out from any adult standing nearby. Of course this is just a theory of mine but I sometimes feel like its actually working on my own body right here at home. I know that I could probably write a book on this but I don't have the time. Besides, you don't want to take the whole day reading my epinion. So "thank you" in advance.
OUTDOOR PLAYGROUNDS/SWING SETS
I sure love my children and I am sure you have the same concerns for your's as I do mine. There are a lot of SAFETY concerns to consider when buying or simply just letting your children play on/or with outdoor playground equipment.
SAFETY
Your children are irreplaceable. So when buying a playground don't limit yourself to settle for something inexpensive that in return might sacrifice safety for your children.
There are many things we need to know about safety when it comes to playing on playgrounds. Here are a few things to look for.
CONSTRUCTION/MATERIAL-used to build the playground. Are the materials and hardware heavy duty enough?
SPLINTERS/WOOD DECAY
THE WOOD-is it pressure treated? If so, is it poisoness?
METAL-paint chipping off, rusting? Any sharp edges or material/hardware exposed?
SWINGS-proper spacing to prevent injuries.
GUARDRAILS-protect children from falling.
PROTECTIVE SURFACING-this is a biggy. If your child falls off the playground you will want to make the ground a soft landing. Wood chips would be one example.
SUPERVISION-take time out with your kids. Play with them, show them the danger zones and teach them safety at all times.
If you would like a more detailed list of statistics and facts on playground safety. You can visit this website.

If you decide to buy or build a playground for your child I strongly suggest you check this website out.
The next step is QUALITY.
The last thing you want to do is go out and buy a playground that is going to fall apart after junior invites all his friends over to play on it. You may find by the end of the day you could be having a "all night bonfire" with the remains of the playground. Mmmmmmmm, roast a few marshmallows maybe. Or a hot dog on a stick. Naah, probably not a good way to do it.
With just these few things being said. Please, remember how important your kids are. Take time out to find out all you can about providing a safe and fun environment for them to play in.
*AND NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE*
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A PEEK AT BOTH QUALITY & SAFETY?
I have found a playground paradise and would like to share it with you. My wife and I love to see our 7yr old son and 2yr old daughter play on their playground. I even get involved and play on it too! My daughter loves this. These playgrounds that you are about to see are built solid, and can handle us "big" kids. There are too many PROS to list so you will have to go check it out for yourself. I am very happy with our playground. I know this by watching and playing with our children on it. I did not compromise in the area of safety and am very content on this matter. These playgrounds are not listed in epinions yet, otherwise I would write one. No, I am not a salesman for these playgrounds. Sorry if I have come across that way. I just really like them, and would like to know what you think of them as well. Feel free to comment or e-mail me.
Thank you, Sean.
