Frequently Asked Questions

What age range are these swings for?

Cradle seats suit ages 6 months to 4 years, flat seats ages 3+, and basket swings work for mixed ages together.

Can swings be installed on existing surfacing?

Usually yes. We survey the existing surface first and advise whether it meets impact-absorbing requirements for the swing height.

How much space does a swing bay need?

A double flat-seat bay typically needs around 7m x 7m including safety surfacing run-offs. We confirm exact clearances in the site survey.

What surfacing works best under swings?

Wetpour and rubber mulch are the most popular — both impact-absorbing and wheelchair friendly. Grass matting suits lower-budget schemes.

Are basket swings suitable for older children?

Yes. Basket swings suit mixed ages and are rated for group use, making them a favourite for KS2 and SEN settings alike.

How long does installation take?

A single swing bay is usually installed in two to three days including groundworks and surfacing.
