10 Wooden Swing Sets That’ll Turn Your Backyard Into The Ultimate Play Zone
Spring is officially here and that means one thing: a return to the great outdoors. Sure, there’s a lot of fun to be had inside with things like board games and movie nights, but there’s truly nothing better as a kid than a day spent playing in the sunshine, especially when a swing set is involved.
Designed for hours of fun, today’s swing sets range from your classic two-seater swingers to decked-out jungle gyms that feature everything from slides and forts to rock climbing walls and sandboxes. And while aspects like play features and safety are always top of mind when choosing a swing set (we recommend reading through the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s handbook on home playground safety during your hunt), there’s another important factor to take into consideration: material.
While plastic and metal swing sets are popular picks, there’s nothing better than a good ol’ wooden swing set. Strong and durable, these sets are beloved for both their solid construction and eye-catching look. Best of all, most of today’s sets (and every one on this list) is made with cedarwood, beloved by parents for its naturally splinter-free and rot- and insect-resistant properties. A stylish kids’ backyard piece that’s also durable, fun, and (relatively) worry-free? What’s not to love!
Below, we rounded up 10 of the best wooden swing sets you can get today. Here’s to spring and lots of outdoor family fun!
