Is it cheaper to build or buy a swing set?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">average cost to build a swing set</a> is <b>$514</b>, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a good playground installer?

• <div><p>You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:</p><ul><li><p>Will you pull permits if required?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer a warranty?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation to take?</p></li><li><p>Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will my playground installer put down a playground surface, too?

• <div><p>In most cases, your professional playground installer will put down a playground surface before assembling the fun-filled system. However, you should ask your installer about this service before booking an installment date. Most playground equipment installation companies offer service add-ons like leveling the area, laying down a surface, building a border to keep the surface material contained, and setting up the swing set.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a playground?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm#">Playground installation costs</a> around <b>$500</b> on average, which doesn&rsquo;t include the cost of the playground itself. Most homeowners spend between <b>$150 and $1,200</b> on the labor to install a playground, plus between <b>$100 and $1,500 </b>on the playground equipment. The cost of professional installation depends on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Type and size of the playground </p></li><li><p>Whether or not you need land leveling before installation</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of your yard</p></li><li><p>Whether you buy a premade playground or a custom one</p></li><li><p>Local permitting costs, if necessary</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I install a playground myself?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It&rsquo;s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it&rsquo;s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.</p></div>

"It was such a pleasure to have Robert and his son Robert help me mount two huge televisions on the wall. They were not just great at their job, but they were amazing people overall. They were kind, friendly, respectful, and helpful. Things that I didn’t hire them to do, they offered to do it for me. Examples like cutting the TV box for us, cleaning the area, and so forth. Moreover, besides being professional and good at their job, they took their time to make sure that everything was perfect to my liking. I appreciate how they are willing to help me to the fullest. Such people like them are hard to come by nowadays. My family and I are glad to have met them through this project. We also learned that they do many other jobs as well. We will call for them again in the future if we need any other help. All in all, I highly recommend Robert and his son if you want great service. You won’t regret it."
