Childrens Garden Swings

As any parent will know its not easy to get your children off the kids swings in the local park which is why having a childrens garden swing in your own garden is sure to be popular.

There are many types of swings you can buy, depending upon the age of your child, the size of your garden and obviously your budget.

The basic budget buy would be a rope swing which can be tied to any large tree in your garden, with the next step being to add an old car tyre, or cheap wooden swing seat to add to the fun.

For the younger children a plastic or wooden cradle swing seat would be required as the kids do not have the strength to hold on themselves.

Some of these cradle seats fit into a larger swing frame so can be replaced with a more traditional swing seat when the kids are older.

When opting for a larger framed swing it is worth considering putting some concrete footings into the ground to fit the base of the swing to. This will both stop the frame from sinking into the ground but also give the frame additional stability.

Larger families may opt to go for a double swing-set, so two children can have fun on the swings at the same time, stopping many squabbles over whose turn it is!

If the size of your garden and your budget allow it you could even opt for an activity unit that incorporates swings, slides and even see-saws which will make your child the envy of all his classmates.

For the best deals on Kingfisher Swings, TP Swings, Hedstrom Swings & Little Tikes Swings we recommend Childrens Garden Swings.
