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: 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>

Q: 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&mdash;if you don&rsquo;t want to give up your weekend, it&rsquo;s worth considering buying instead of building.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build your own swing set?

• <div><p>Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.</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>
