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>

How do I know they’re ready to go outside?

• <div><p>If your seedlings have reached a few inches in height and the weather outside has stabilized to where you’re no longer seeing overnight temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it may be time to start hardening them off to get them ready to be planted in the garden. </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: Does outdoor living add value to a home?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there&rsquo;s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.</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>

He has nice equipment and a good crew to work with. The work was done quickly and efficiently with little down time for the parking lot. Rudy was on site most of the time directing the crew. The repairs were made, the lot was coated and Rudy himself striped the spaces. A real professional job.
