Buying Guide

To install a glider for a swing set, you’ll need a bracket system and a swing beam. You can either install a one or two-seat glider to an already existing swing set or purchase a frame and glider packaged together.

Place the bracket on a wooden swing beam at the location you want the glider to be. Use washers and locknuts to secure the bracket to the beam. Put the beam in place at the top of your swing set and use a four-point hook-up to attach the glider.

While most hook-ups come with small openings to slip onto chain links, you may also use spring clip attachments. Swing set gliders also come with durable polyester rope or plastic-coated chains for suspension and usually include specific mechanisms for attaching your glider.

When selecting a glider for swing set, you’ll want to think about how it will be used—and where it will be. Avoiding metal, for example, is key because a swing set spends a lot of time in the sun. (You don’t want to run the risk of burning your children while they’re happily at play!)

Wood or plastic tend to be the best materials. However, wood can run the risk of causing splinters, and must be constantly treated to avoid moisture-related rot. Our recommendation is, therefore, a heavy-duty plastic for a glider set. (It’s also more cost-effective, which is great if you’re on a budget.)
