Swings

Who doesn’t love a swing when playing in a playground or park? Here at Rhino Play, we have a range of swings, including nest swings for an inclusive swinging experience, as well as your more traditional double flat seat swings and double cradle swings for toddlers and young children. We also offer the Full Support Seats too for most abilities & ages.

Depending on the type of swing you are looking for, we can design and manufacture the frame to your specifications – so if you wish to have our fabulous Redwood frames to be in keeping with the natural environment, or a steel frame, we can cater to every need and request.

What’s more, we have worked with many local authorities to bring about accessible playground equipment for the disabled, so no-one misses out on having fun! We are proud to be able to design and supply wheelchair swings to our SEN School clients and we love the positive reaction once they have been installed!

So if you’re looking to upgrade your existing play area or would like to feature more moving and dynamic play equipment in your area, get in touch with Rhino Play today! If you would like to discuss your upcoming project with us and the range of swings we have on offer, please do feel free to contact us and we will be happy to talk and give advice where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the safety standards for swings in playgrounds?

When considering swings for playgrounds, it is essential to adhere to stringent European Safety Standard EN 1176, which outlines safety requirements for playground equipment and safety surfacing.

Additionally, swings should be installed in a safe zone that allows for adequate fall space, typically requiring a minimum of 1.5 metres around the swing’s perimeter.

Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial, with emphasis on ensuring that all components are secure, free from wear, and that the surfacing material beneath the swings absorbs impact effectively.

How do I choose the right type of swing for my school playground?

Choosing the right type of swing for your school playground involves considering:

The age range of your students and opt for swings that cater to different developmental stages, such as traditional belt swings for older children and nest swings for younger ones, which encourage inclusive play.
Safety features, such as soft landing zones and robust materials that can withstand extensive use while requiring minimal maintenance.
The space available in your playground to ensure that swings are appropriately placed for both safety and accessibility.

What age groups are suitable for different types of swings?

Rhino Play swings are great for children of all ages, including those in early years foundation stages.

For toddlers aged 1 to 3 years, bucket swings with high backs provide secure seating and stability, encouraging early motor skills and confidence.

For pre schoolers aged 3 to 5 years, traditional belt swings are suitable, allowing for independent play while promoting balance and coordination.

As children progress to ages 5 to 12, more challenging options like tyre swings or inclusive swings cater to their growing strength and social interaction needs, fostering teamwork and imaginative play.

How much space do we need to install a swing set?

Typically, a minimum of 2 metres of clear space should be maintained around the swing set to prevent any potential injuries during play. This includes both the front and back of the swings, as well as the sides, providing room for children to safely enter and exit, while also allowing for movement during swinging.

Additionally, the overall footprint of the swing set itself should be taken into account, which varies depending on the model and number of swings.
