Swings

A playground is unthinkable without swings. Swinging through the air feels a little like flying, and children big and small love this feeling of freedom and weightlessness. Some build up momentum as high as they can go, others let themselves be rocked gently and find calm in the process.

Combination swing with red frame and two top beams, with a nest swing and a double swing on a sand surface

The right swing for the playground

Whether nursery school, school, public playground or residential estate: our swings are available for every space and every age group, with a top beam height of 2.00 or 2.50 metres.

The single swing and the double swing are the classics, available with a rubber safety seat or a box seat. In the nest swing, 120 centimetres in diameter, up to seven children swing together, and in the nest swing line light they can also swing lying down. Combination swings join two top beams with single, double and nest swings and have room for up to 14 children, and the hexagon swing has six seats on a hexagonal frame. With the parent-and-child swing and the inclusive swing, both recommended from age zero, the youngest children and children with physical impairments can swing along too. All other swings are recommended from the age of two.

Swinging supports the development of motor skills and sense of balance. In the nest swing, togetherness comes into play as well: those who swing together learn consideration and team spirit. For even more movement, the swing can be combined with a climbing unit, for example in the triangle game with single swing, wall bars and climbing net or in our play towers with an attached swing.

Nest swing with wooden posts in post shoes and a top beam made of round steel tube on a sand surface

Frame, suspension and safety surfacing

The frame is available in pressure-treated wood with hot-dip galvanised post shoes, in hot-dip galvanised steel, in hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated steel in red or anthracite, or in powder-coated aluminium in red or anthracite. The top beam is a thick-walled, hot-dip galvanised round steel tube with a diameter of 114 millimetres, and the swing hooks are made of stainless steel. The rubber safety seat is made of solid rubber with a steel insert and is PAH-free.

Swings force movement, so the playground standard DIN EN 1176 requires impact-absorbing surfacing beneath them across the entire impact area. The free height of fall is a maximum of 1.50 metres for all single, double, nest and combination swings. The impact area ranges from 180 by 740 centimetres for the single swing 2 m to 620 by 830 centimetres for the combination swing 2.50 m with two double swings, and the hexagon swing needs a circular area 12.80 metres in diameter. Our safety surfacing calculation shows how to calculate the area, and you will find the right surfacing under Safety surfacing.

The swings are anchored on concrete foundations, and the number and dimensions of these are given for each model in the technical data.

Guarantee by material

The guarantee depends on the material of the frame: 20 years on aluminium parts, 15 years on hot-dip galvanised metal parts and 12 years on pressure-treated wooden parts without ground contact. On moving parts we grant two years for material and manufacturing defects. You choose the version directly on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the load capacity of the nest swing?

The suspension of our nest swing 2 m and the nest swing line light can bear loads of up to 500 kilograms. It consists of steel rope with a stainless steel swing chain. The nest is 120 centimetres in diameter, and up to seven children at a time are recommended.

Does a swing have to be set in concrete?

Yes, our swings are anchored on concrete foundations. The single, double, inclusive and parent-and-child swings and the nest swings 2.0 and 2.50 m stand on four foundations of 70 by 50 by 50 centimetres, which, according to the data sheet, comes to around 0.7 cubic metres of concrete of grade C25/30 in total. Combination swings need six foundations, and for wooden posts, hot-dip galvanised post shoes are included in the scope of delivery.

Do swings need safety surfacing?

Yes, regardless of their height, swings need impact-absorbing surfacing across the entire impact area. Grass is permitted for swings up to 2.60 metres in height, because the free height of fall is then no more than 1.50 metres. Under swings, however, it is quickly worn away and turns muddy when wet, so we recommend other safety surfacing there.

How much space does a swing need?

Depending on the model, between 180 by 740 and 620 by 830 centimetres of impact area. The single swing 2 m needs the smallest, the combination swing 2.50 m with two double swings the largest. In general, the minimum falling space of a swing is calculated as chain length times 0.867 plus 2.25 metres. It is best to install nest swings at the edge of the play space so that no child runs into them by accident.

From what age are the swings suitable?

Most of our swings are recommended from the age of two, the parent-and-child swing and the inclusive swing from as early as age zero. On the parent-and-child swing, an adult and a small child swing together.

Which swings are suitable for children with disabilities?

For this we offer our inclusive swing and the nest swing line light. The inclusive swing is designed for children regardless of their physical abilities, and in the nest swing line light children can swing sitting or lying down.
