What Makes Playground One!® Stand Out?
When it comes to the best playset company, there’s only one company that stands out:
Playground One!®. From the minute we opened our doors and started putting together our first designs, our goal has been to be the best playground equipment company possible. We have built that goal into every design, every product and every customer interaction.
For us, being the “best” doesn’t just mean offering the widest selections or the best prices or even the fanciest marketing campaigns. For us, becoming the top playground equipment company means:
- Highlighting the importance of safety, and ensuring that our playground equipment meets safety standards
- Designing the best swing sets, playsets, and playground equipment possible
- Hiring the best designers, engineers, and testers to create the highest-quality products
- Always selecting quality materials for the best in construction design
- Overseeing every step of the design and manufacturing process so we can really stand by our products
- Ensuring exceptional customer service and a wonderful customer experience for each family we work with
- Talking with children and families to find out how they play
- Creating equipment that lets kids have a blast — no matter how they play
It’s a pretty tall order, but over the years Playground One has become recognized among families looking for quality products designed with children in mind.
We set out to become the best playground equipment and best swing set company by doing a few things different focusing on what is important to you:
- Solid beam construction. Many companies build to their playsets out of engineered wood or layers of wood glued together. This can save on costs, but we found it can also lead to buckling, warping and other problems which can affect safety. That’s why we’ve chosen to only use solid beam construction and 100% Pacific Cedar with all our playsets. Our extensive testing shows that our playsets are naturally fungus resistant and pest resistant and stay sturdy through years of use without the need for toxic chemical treatments.
- Our robust testing phase. All of our equipment goes through an extensive testing process. We test with designers, engineers and other experts to ensure each of our products is safe and offers hours of creative play. We work with top Our engineers ensure that each piece is designed as well as possible and to exceed all safety requirements. In addition, we test with our toughest critics: kids. We always work with children to make sure our playsets and playground equipment really spark imagination.
- Customizable and expandable swing sets. Have a growing family? Have limited yard space? With Playground One, it’s not a problem. Our expandable and customizable modular swing sets allow you to create the unique playset experience your children want. Add a tire swing, create start out with a bucket seat swing for the little ones and switch them out as they grow. Create a picnic table, and dance stage area as well. Our multiuse and highly customizable playsets let your family create the play experience you’ve always wanted.
Every playground company promises to offer safe playground equipment, but how do they really deliver? With playground injuries a common concern of parents, we have made it our goal to create high-quality playground equipment that makes adults, and children, feel safe.
At Playground One!®, we’re all about fun, but we’re also really serious about safety. Our safe swing sets, slides and other playground equipment don’t just have the appearance of top design and safe construction. We build safety right into the design of our equipment and we test extensively to make sure it is as safe as possible.
Here are key reasons why our playground equipment is safe:
1) Our materials. All of our playsets are made from 100% solid beam Pacific Cedar. Why did we choose cedar? It naturally resists fungus, pests and other issues that could affect the stability of your playsets. That means we can skip the toxic chemical coatings while ensuring our solid beam equipment stays sturdy for longer. Since we use solid beams, you don’t need to worry about buckling, warping and the other problems inherent to using engineered wood glued together from several pieces.
2) Our construction. The way we put our high-quality playground equipment together is also different. We use multi-beam joint connections for the ultimate in stability and our hardware is corrosion-resistant hot-dipped galvanized steel — the ultimate in strength and durability. From the East to West Coast, in every climate across the United States, our playground equipment still stands up beautifully to the weather, season after season — ensuring years of safe and fun play.
3) Our “less ouch” features. We include a number of great features on our equipment to help prevent injuries:
- No pinch swings. We use self-locking industrial connectors and large rubber dipped chains to prevent pinching when your kids are swinging. We’re committed to being a safe swing set company, and that means eliminating even the small injuries which can occur from sharp edge points and pinching on swings. The rubber dipped oversized chains also are a little less hot to the touch on sunny days when compared with steel or other metals.
- Good grips (Gotcha Grips). Each ladder rung, handgrip, handrail, and trapeze bar on our playground equipment has been through our special “gotcha” process to reduce slipping. Each of our Hot Dipped Galvanized steel rods are sturdy enough on their own, but then they are dimpled and powder coated, so even the smallest of hands won’t slip.
- Reinforced slides. Our double wall slides require no exterior reinforcements, which mean no bolts which can cause cuts and no wood to cause splinters. The result is a smooth slide with less risk of injuries.
At Playground One!®, we don’t just want to be any safe playground equipment company — we want to be the company that keeps your kids safe while giving them the best childhood experiences possible. When you choose our equipment, you can be sure that each swing, playset and other piece of equipment has behind it a team of engineers and experts working overtime to create the best safety features for your child.
