What are the different types of basketball hoops available?

• <div><p>There are many different types of basketball hoops available to choose from. </p><ul><li><p><b>Portable hoops </b>are fully moveable and generally do not require assistance with assembly. </p></li><li><p><b>Semi-portable in-ground hoops</b> have an anchor cemented in the ground and a removable post.</p></li><li><p><b>In-ground hoops</b> are fully built into the ground as one piece and cannot be relocated after placement. </p></li><li><p><b>Wall-mounted hoops</b> do not have a post or pole and work well when space is limited. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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>

What is the best material to put under a playset?

• <div><p>Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-rubber-mulch.htm">Rubber mulch</a> is slightly more expensive than other common options at <b>$120 per cubic yard</b> on average, whereas pine bark mulch is <b>$30 per cubic yard.</b> But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.</p></div>

Q: What age are backyard playgrounds for?

• <div><p>Children can become interested in playset activities as young as two years old, and many start to lose interest between ages nine and 12. Backyard playsets can grow and adapt as the children age and playtime interests change.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit for a playground?

• <div><p>Whether or not you need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for a playground depends on where you live. Some municipalities will require a permit for the construction of any playground equipment while others will only mandate one if you use a concrete foundation for any portion of the equipment. You can check with your local building department or a professional playground installer to see if your project requires a permit. Some municipalities also require a fence if you have a playground, and fence construction will almost always require a building permit.</p></div>
