Wooden swing sets are sturdier than most metal swing sets, supporting around 50 pounds more per child than typical outdoor play sets. Wooden outdoor swing sets also tend to last longer than metal and plastic swing sets, which start to show signs of wear and tear within a few years.
Wooden climbing frames and wooden swing sets made from square cut timbers will contain less heartwood than the round timbers. This will reduce instances of cracking and splitting when compared with round wood but cracks and splits will still occur.
I love the way the entire landscape looks attractive and uniform. I also love wathcing the kids have a great time playing right at home.
