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

• <div><p>The cost of the materials to build a DIY playground will run you about <b>$700 to $1,000</b>, which could vary based on the type of lumber you choose to use. On the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/swing-set-cost.htm">buying a pre-made playset costs</a><b> $1,000 to $6,500</b> or more, and if you choose to have it professionally installed, you&rsquo;ll pay an additional <b>$330 to $700</b>.</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>

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: Do I need to anchor my playset?

• <div><p>Yes! It&rsquo;s always a good idea to anchor your playset. Even though they&rsquo;re heavy, it doesn&rsquo;t take much wind to blow one over. Anchoring everything to the ground makes it a lot safer for your kiddos.</p></div>
