Choosing swing sets for kids can be a very tricky business. Everyone has different requirements and different ideas. We thought we could help you out a little and offer some swing set related advice.

We have invited a few of our Climbing Frames friends along to help too.

This is Penelope. Penelope just loves to swing. She would swing all day long if she could. As an only child she sometimes gets bored playing on her own so her parents thought it best to get her a climbing frame to keep her amused.

Of course swings were a must-have, we also thought the trapeze bar would add a little variety to Penelope’s playtime. The Meadowvale has 2 swings and a trapeze bar, as well as a slide and a combination rockwall/ladder. This is a great choice for smaller families or smaller yards.

Meet Melanie and Adam. They are brother and sister and have just welcomed a baby brother into the world. Theirs is a growing family and their parents want to buy a climbing frame which can grow with their family.

One of our bigger sets like the Skyfort is ideal for anyone with a growing family. It is big enough for older children to still be able to use it and can be used for years to come by the younger children. It also has plenty of space for several kids to be messing around on at once.

Amber is an extremely lucky girl. She already has one of our swing sets at her house but her grandma and grandpa want to buy one for when she comes to visit. They only have a small yard but would still like to have some great outdoor play equipment.

As they have a small yard and the frame will only be used now and then we would suggest one of our smaller frames like the Andorra. There is still plenty for Amber to have fun with like the slide, swings and chalk board.

We hope we have given you a few tips on choosing swing sets for kids and made th ehwole process that little bit easier.
