Swing Sets with Installation

Getting a new playset is a huge moment for your family, but the assembly process doesn't have to be a huge headache. When you choose a backyard swing set with installation service, you can say goodbye to hours of deciphering instructions and hauling heavy boxes. 

Professional installers take care of the entire setup for you, ensuring your swing set is built safely and correctly. With the work handled by experts, you can skip the stress and look forward to the exciting moment your kids start exploring their new favorite hangout.

What to Expect

Choose professional installation, and experts will manage the process from delivery to the final safety check. Here is a breakdown of what to expect:

Step 1: We’ll reach out to confirm details

Within a week of placing your order, we’ll reach out to confirm installation availability in your area and ensure your yard is properly prepped (see note below on yard preparation).

Step 2: Delivery coordination and scheduling

Your swing set will be shipped to the KidKraft installation office closest to your location. The day before your scheduled installation, we will call to confirm your appointment. Please note that installation dates may change if weather conditions require rescheduling.

Step 3: Professional assembly

On installation day, experienced technicians arrive with your swing set and all the tools needed to build it. This prevents third-party carriers from leaving heavy boxes in your driveway and ensures the entire process stays organized.

Step 4: Safety verification

After assembly, installers complete a thorough safety check to confirm the structure is stable and all anchors are properly secured.

Step 5: Cleanup

The team removes all packaging materials and debris, leaving your yard clean and ready for play. Bring out the kids, the swings and slides are ready for action. 

Prepare Your Yard for Swing Set Installation

Before the installation team arrives, a little prep work goes a long way in ensuring a quick and successful build. You want to make sure the designated area is safe, level, and free of obstacles that could delay the process.

• Choose a level spot: Select a flat area of your yard to ensure stability; installing on a slope can affect safety and structural integrity.

• Clear the area: Remove rocks, stumps, branches, or other debris from the installation site to create a safe workspace.

• Check dimensions: Measure your space to confirm there is a 6-foot safety zone around the entire perimeter of the swing set.

• Mark utilities: Identify and mark any underground sprinklers or utility lines to prevent accidental damage during anchoring.

The approximate lead time on installation is usually 4-6 weeks from the order date (lead times may vary during peak season and holidays). Installation fees apply to most U.S. locations, although remote areas may incur additional charges, which will be discussed with you prior to processing your order. If there is no installer in your area, you'll be notified right away with refund options.

FAQs

How long does installation usually take?

Most standard installations are completed within a single day, typically taking between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the swing set model. Larger, more intricate playsets may require a bit more time, but the professional team works efficiently to get your backyard ready for fun as quickly as possible.

Is installation included in the price?

Professional installation is available with select swing sets as an add-on service. 

Who installs the swing set?

We partner with reputable, third-party assembly networks that vet and certify their technicians. These professionals are experienced in assembling outdoor play structures and are trained to follow our specific manufacturer guidelines to ensure every component is assembled safely.

What type of surface is best for a swing set?

Soft, shock-absorbing materials are the best choice. We recommend installing your swing set on wood mulch, rubber mulch, or engineered wood fiber. You’ll need at least 9 inches of material for most playsets. Always follow the specific manufacturer and local code requirements for fall height and surfacing.

How do you anchor a swing set?

Proper anchoring is essential for preventing the set from tipping over during vigorous play or high winds. Our professional installers follow the KidKraft installation manuals, using the appropriate ground stakes or anchors for each model and securing them firmly to the base of the playset legs.
