gobaplay Single Swing Set Design

The single post swing set frame is designed with curved corners and a modern design using gunmetal as its primary color-making it easy to blend in with the landscaping of your yard.

The swing set's dark overtones contrast elegantly with the existing aesthetic of your backyard, making it a stylish addition to any home. The size of the frame also doesn't take up much room, which is ideal for compacted yards.

The type of swing you choose for the swing set is up to you, but you can stick with the Green Round Platform Swing (pictured above, comes with purchase or sold separately for $55) or the Blue Double Platform Tree Swing (pictured below, $99) from gobaplay.

You can also include the Blue Double Platform Tree Swing as a part of your swing set purchase for $399. If you want to just buy the Single Swing Set Frame, that will cost $349.

gobaplay Single Swing Set Safety

Swing set safety is crucial to consider before purchasing and the gobaplay Single Swing Set takes extra measures to ensure the safety of users.

The swing set's safety features include a sturdy wide steel swing set frame featuring a support bar for stability. It also has a high weight capacity of up to 300 pounds, meaning it can serve as a swing set for adults in addition to children.

Most injuries that could occur with this product would be caused by miscues or not following instructions.

gobaplay Tip: Consider adding shock-absorbent protective surfacing under and around the swing set to reduce the impact of a falling injury. Mulch or wood chips can also work. What you put under a swing set is important for its safety.

gobaplay Single Swing Set Durability

One of the defining features of the gobaplay Single Swing Set is its strength: The galvanized steel frame is guaranteed not to bend or warp, and the wide frame/support bar offers optimal stability-reinforcing its potency.

The gobaplay Single Swing Set frame comes with a five-year warranty , which is how long you can expect to product to last under reasonable use. The warranty covers manufacturer's defects in material and workmanship. The gobaplay Swings are warranted for one-year.

gobaplay Single Swing Set Installation

Swing set installation is critical to ensuring a safe and enjoyable swinging experience. Upon purchase of the gobaplay Swing Set, you will receive a product manual with step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the swing set.

There are 10 steps to the gobaplay Single Swing Set installation, and the tools are provided with the purchase. The assembly process for the Swing Set is relatively simple (there are 43 pieces, including the nuts and bolts) and you should be able to complete it in a couple of hours, at the most. You can also have a third-party person or service complete the installation if desired.

gobaplay Single Swing Set Maintenance

Periodic maintenance is required to keep the Swing Set safe and free from overturning. Some swing set maintenance tips, according to the product manual, include:

  • Tighten all hardware at least twice a month during play season.
  • Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges and corners and replace if needed.
  • Rake and check the depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials (like wood chips).
  • Lubricate all metallic moving parts at least once a month during play season.
  • Check metal parts for rust at the beginning of each play season.

Once play season is over and/or the weather turns cold (below 40°F), make sure to remove the plastic swing seats and the trapeze swing and place them in a secure spot.

Any Downsides to the gobaplay Single Swing Set?

There are not many major downsides to purchasing the gobaplay Single Swing Set: It is sleekly designed, safe, durable, easy to install and affordably priced ($349 with included swing) compared to other higher-end swing sets.

The one con to the Swing Set is it does not come with swing set anchors, which is the case for most swing sets in North America: A swing set that is not anchored to the ground can result in an injury and may void the five-year warranty.

The gobaplay Swing Set comes with a hole on the leg foot that makes it easier to attach anchors or stakes. You can purchase swing set anchors online from various major retailers.

Anchors cost around $20-$40 depending on which type you buy. Once anchored, there is no need to pour concrete to add extra stability for the gobaplay Single Swing Set.
