- Design to install
- Free estimate
Steel swing frames are the workhorse of playgrounds. They are built from strong tubing, finished with durable powder coat and designed to stand up to heavy use year after year.
We install metal and steel swing sets for homes, schools, churches, daycares and community parks, and we anchor each frame properly so it stays steady when the swings get going.
Strength and simplicity
A steel A-frame is simple, strong and very stable. It makes a great choice when the goal is lots of swinging without a big tower, or when many children will use the swings.
Powder coating protects the metal from the elements, and swing hangers and chains are available in durable finishes.
Good to know
Metal gets hot in the sun, so shade and light colors help in warm climates. Anchoring is especially important with a lightweight frame because swinging forces are strong.
Steel pairs well with other elements such as a free-standing slide or a climbing structure placed outside the swing zone.

Good questions about metal swing sets.
Do metal swing sets need to be anchored?
Yes. Swinging puts strong forces on the frame, and good anchoring keeps it from tipping or lifting.
Will metal rust?
Powder-coated and galvanized steel resists rust well. Touch up any chips in the coating.
Can I add a slide?
Usually as a separate piece placed safely away from the swing area.
