A glider swing set can bring tremendous joy to children of all ages. Because of such, you shouldn't pass on the opportunity of having one. These days, a glider swing set comes in an assortment of styles and configuration. Shopping for one can be a bit confusing if you don't know what to look for. As a means of providing assistance, this article is going to be a glider swing set buying guide.
Swing sets are usually made from plastic, metal, and wood. Since the material of the swing set has a direct impact on the cost and longevity of the product, it's one of the factors that you should give more importance.
A plastic glider swing set has the advantage of being lightweight. Hence, it's less hazardous compared to metal, and wood. Because plastic is a cheaper material compared to wood and metal, glider swing sets made of such material is generally less expensive. Thus, it's a good option if you want to save money. Perhaps the biggest drawback of plastic is it's not as durable compared to wood and metal.
The most significant advantage of metal glider swing sets is the durability. If you opt for stainless steel, you can just leave the glider swing set outdoors as it’s resistant to the elements. On the downside, a metal glider swing set is much more expensive compared to plastic.
While wood is the traditional material for a glider swing set, it has gone down in terms of popularity. One reason for this is because a wooden glider swing set is costly and difficult to transport. However, when it comes to beauty, plastic and metal are a notch below.
These days, glider swing sets have different capacity formats. The most common ones are single, double and multi.
- As the name suggests, the single capacity can only hold one person. If you have only one user, then it's the optimal choice as it's generally the most economical option when compared to other formats.
- The double can hold two people. It's a good option if you want two users to enjoy the swing at the same time, rather than taking turns.
- Multi can hold up to four or more people. These gliders are typically intended for family use.
You also need to decide between a back-facing or a front-facing glider swing set.
- A front-facing glider swing set means that the users are seated in a way that they will be facing each other. This type is perhaps the most enjoyable as the two users can freely interact.
- The back-facing glider swing is the opposite, which means the users are back to back. The advantage of this type is it comes with better safety features. For the back-facing glider swing set, it's typical for each user to have a footrest and a place for the hands to grip on.
