A swing can be a source of more hilarity and happiness than almost any other piece of play equipment! This pleasure is there to be enjoyed each and every day, not only by older children but also very young ones. So when you are considering what play equipment to buy for your own garden, a swing set should be one on the top of your list.
What different basic types of swings are there?
We have three basic swing types to choose from:
Swings with rounded timbers, swings with square timbers and metal swings. The smallest rounded model consists of a simple swing with space for one swing seat. Larger models have space for up to three swing seats. In addition, any swing made from rounded timbers can have a climbing net, a slide or a ladder attached to it. The largest selection of swings is found in the square timber section. Here you can either start with a simple swing with space for two seats, or you can go straight to the more complex models. Among these is, for example, a swing with a climbing net or a swing with a slide and climbing wall. One particularly practical feature of square timber swings is the ability to incorporate a sandpit beneath the climbing ladder or net. You can, of course, obtain the sandpit module from WICKEY's online shop, too. A metal swing made of robust steel tubing is virtually indestructible. We carry metal swings with space for up to 6 swing seats – that is, for up to 6 children.
Can I extend my WICKEY swing?
If you choose a wooden swing, you have the option of extending your swing later with further play modules. A simple double swing can, over time, be developed into a full climbing frame. We currently offer climbing nets, climbing walls, slides and sandpits with which to extend your swing. Or join it up later to a WICKEY climbing frame!
You can also adapt the swing by changing the seats. With a new swing seat or with gym equipment for the swing, you can refresh the ways in which to enjoy your garden swing.
If you want to attach the swing to a wall or to play equipment that you already have, then be sure to take a look at our swing hooks. We carry practical swing connectors for almost every possible situation.
