How Do I Get Started?
BlueRidge Playgrounds has been selling backyard swing sets and products for over 20 years. We have done our part in researching and only providing quality products with the best warranty’s on the market. Now we are here to help match you with the right swing set for your family. There are many things to consider when making your purchase and we have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions. If you have any other questions we are more than happy to help, just give a call (828) 776-2731.
What Size Swing Set Can I Fit In My Yard?
All Swing Sets have a designated play area foot print, this is the space needed just for the swing set. It is recommended that you have a 6 ft area around these dimensions which is called the fall zone. For example this swing set has a 19ft. by 14ft. play area foot print. The fall zone foot print would be 31ft by 26ft.
The area should be as level as possible within a few inches. BlueRidge Playgrounds professional installation service does allow for a little slope and we can still install your swing set. If your area has more than a few inches of slope, BlueRidge Playgrounds does provide a grading service.
What Type Of Lumber Choices Do I Have?
Choosing your lumber options is one of the most important decisions you can make for your swing set. It’s important that lumber is strong, sturdy, and safe. Manufacture warranties are a good way to tell what type of product your buying. If the manufacture does not back their product why should you?
