Q: How long will my playground equipment last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan for a playset is around <b>eight to ten years</b>, but you can probably make it last <b>to 15 years</b> with good weather conditions and proper maintenance. If you&rsquo;re purchasing a pre-made playset, some brands offer warranties for <b>up to 25 years</b>&mdash;long after your kiddos are grown.</p></div>

Q: Should I build my own swing set?

• <div><p>It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren&rsquo;t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won&rsquo;t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to build a playground or buy one?

• <div><p>Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.</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>

Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.</p></div>

The provider sprinkled some red clay-like material around the area. When I stepped on the material, it gave way to its original form. It rained the following day. Within 24 hours of completion, the area looked the same as it had before I paid $650 - except now it was red and muddy. I...

Phil was great to work with, but unfortunately, the tech was unable to get to my house to pressure wash since I live in a far end unit townhouse and they do not have portable equipment.
