Here at Playset Junction, safety is a top priority. All of our designs meet and/or exceed the Consumer Product Safety Commission's tips on playground safety. These guidelines are:
- Swings should have a use zone extending a minimum of 6' from the outer edge of the support structure.
- The zone in front and back of the swing should extend a minimum of twice the height
- Swing spacing shall be:
a) at least 8 inches between suspended swings (ours are 10")
b) at least 16 inches from support frame (ours are 21")
- Clearance between the ground and underside of swing should be at least 8 inches
- Swing sets should be securely anchored.
- Platforms more than 30" above the ground shall have guardrails.
- Openings between 3 1/2" and 9" are extreme hazards, particularly railing spacing
- Open "S" hooks are dangerous, and should be hammered close
- No exposed moving parts which may pinch or crush.
- No protruding hardware (all hardware is designed to be flush)
