These timeless Playground Swings will provide hours of outdoor entertainment. They are easy to assemble and come with all hardware, chain, and heavy duty steel springs. The springs create a soft and smooth motion (see photo at left). All chain is stainless steel. They have been kid-tested and approved by the most discerning critics!

Our swings are so massive that they do not need to be secured to the ground. The only thing we recommend is that you add a few inches of gravel underneath each of the four post corners so that the posts won't settle into the ground.

Rory's Kid's Playground Swing is sized for children ages four to ten, while the rest of the swings can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. Rory’s Big Playground Swing has 3" X 3" timber framing and a 2 ¾” X 5 ½” main timber, while the beefier Rory’s Grande Playground Swing is a few inched wider with 4" X 4" timber framing and a thicker main timber. The Big swing is rated for up to 500 total lbs for 2 swingers and the Grande is rated for up to 650 total lbs for large swingers! Also, check out Rory's Giant 3-Person Swing for the ultimate swinging experience!

If you have a big, beautiful tree from which you'd like to hang a swing, check out our Rory's Tree Swing option. This comes with all necessary hardware to attach a swing to your tree, including the seat, eyebolts, chain, and chain loops to go around the tree limb. We recommend you use an old garden hose to wrap around the tree limb. Slice it open lengthwise and place the chain in it. Don't wrap the chain tightly around the tree limb. Give the limb some growing room. Our standard length of chain is 10 ft, plus 3 ft for the loops. But let us know at checkout if you need more or less, and we'll be glad to send you exactly the length you need.

Money Saving Options: There are at least two ways you can save on our playground swing seat kits:

1. You can buy our swing seats without the expensive stainless steel chain. All our Swing Seat chains are made of 100% stainless steel to avoid rust or stain issues. But, as a money saving option, you can buy the same size standard steel chain (1/4") at your local hardware store for a fraction of the cost of the stainless steel chain. Just order the seat alone ("seat & eye bolts only — no chain"), and your local hardware store can provide the chain and fasteners (clasps). When you wrap the chain around the limb of the tree or another existing structure, such as a porch swing frame or an arbor, use a piece of old garden hose sliced open to protect the tree (or beam) from the chain and the weight of the swinger. If you measure both the circumference of the limb and the length from the bottom of the limb to about 15" above the ground ahead of time, your friendly hardware man can cut all 4 sections of chain the exact length for you. If you choose to go with standard steel chain and fasteners, make sure to inspect them every few years for weather-related wear.
2. You can buy our playground swing seats without the stainless steel eyebolts. First, order the seat alone without eye bolts ("Seat Only — no eye bolts"). Then just go to your local hardware store and order a set of four 3/8" X 6" long standard steel eyebolts with washers and nuts for less than $10. The stainless ones will last longer, but they also are $45 now for a set of 4!
