Swing set
ExperimentalUpdated: 2026-10-25
What the system works out
You choose the frame type (A-frame / straight), the number of seats, the seat type and the fixing method. The system shows:
- the frame materials: timber posts or metal tubes;
- the seat (flat / rubber / toddler) price and suspension chains;
- the ground fixing: concrete footings or ground anchors;
- the safety zone area around the swing (min. 2 m from the edges).
Safety zone and surface
Under EN 1176 swings need clear space in front and behind — at least the swing height + 2 m. On the sides — at least 2 m.
- A soft surface (rubber tiles, bark or sand) reduces injury risk.
- The system calculates the safety zone area and the soft surfacing quantity.
- The frame is fixed with concrete footings (40 × 40 × 60 cm) or screw-in ground anchors.
