Every Woodlawn swing set we craft at our home in West Michigan
is made with care. We use beautiful, natural timber that is
superior-grade quality to enhance the beauty of the wooden
swing set on your lawn. Each Woodlawn swing set has a distinctive,
elegant appearance and is something you'll be proud to own
for years to come. From the rope and swing hangers to the
awnings and hardware, we use only the best materials for our
swing sets. And we make each swing set as if it was going
to end up in our own backyard.

Quality of wood:
Woodlawn hand selects superior-grade timber that is both
beautiful and strong for a more natural appearance. Some
manufacturers cut corners by coating a lower quality lumber
with plastic.

Ropes:
Soft to the touch, our UV-protected rope is made of tightly
woven, double-braided polypropylene vs. brittle, dry,
splintery rope. We pay a little extra to have it woven
tighter to reduce stretch with use and so it will retain
its resistance to breaking over time. These ropes are
the longest lasting in the industry. For strength and
safety, we use 9/16-inch rope instead of the thinner 3/8-inch
rope that some swing set manufacturers select.

Swings Belts:
Woodlawn's swing belts (seats) are made of strong, thick
and durable polymer and are UV-protected to resist fading.
Rust-free, stainless steel clamps with tiny "teeth" are
applied with over 2000 lbs. of pressure to secure the
rope. And we reinforce around the rope attachments on
the swing belt itself so it won't tear or break. Some
manufacturers use a heavy-grade wire wrap to hold the
rope, which can come loose or scratch your child.

Slides:
Woodlawn uses thermoformed slides on all of our larger
swing sets. Made of HMPE (high molecular weight polyethylene)
plastic they are both strong and shatter resistant. All
of our thermoformed slides come with a lifetime
warranty against cracking, breaking and shattering.
The slides have a mounting flange that bends down and
attaches to the side of the deck's frameboard for maximum
safety. You can lift it up to mow under it with no risk
of breakage. Our processing method ensures that it is
smooth to the touch with no seams or rough edges. It'll
look great in your yard because the color is consistent
throughout the entire length of the slide with no spotty
white circles.

Canopy:
Exposure to sun and elements can deteriorate a poor grade
awning. So, to make sure that forest green doesn't fade
to light blue over the summer, Woodlawn selects Marine
Vinyl for all of its swing set canopies. Not only will
they protect your children from dangerous UV rays, the
vinyl material is tear-resistant. Our swing set canopies
are made in the USA.

Top Ladder Monkey Bars:
Our larger swing sets have thick 4"x6" horizontal beams
on all three-position top ladder monkey bars. Many of
our competitors use single 2"x6" beams as their standard.
For the utmost in safety and strength, all Woodlawn monkey
bar ladder rungs are powder
coated steel. Wooden dowels, no matter how smooth
at purchase will age, crack, splinter and wear. The powder
coating provides a tough durable finish that is resistant
to chips and scratches. Additionally, we take the time
to pre-assemble the full top ladder monkey bar unit at
our factory so they install quickly. To avoid falls, we
warn against climbing on top of monkey bars.
