How to Pick The Perfect Outdoor Set
Playhouse vs. Playset
Whether your children need a device-free pause, an exercise-filled day or a spot to spend time with their pals, KidKraft has a playhouse or playset that'll let them dream, climb or slide, all in the comfort of their own backyard
Limited Land (Playhouse)
Even with a more compact outdoor space, you can still provide a healthy haven for children. Pick an even plot of ground and give them an outdoor home of their own. Invite a few pals over—up to five kids can hang out here
Wide Open Space (Playset)
Fill your empty backyard with a wooden wonder that'll not only enhance your landscape, but also become the site for limitless play. The whole gang can be entertained all day.
The size of your yard
Measure your yard before choosing a playset so you'll know which structure will fit your space. Pick an open area with level ground free of obstacles such as trees and fences. Do not place the playset on concrete, asphalt or any hard surface.
Playset Dimensions
The overall dimensions of the physical playset structure.
ASTM Dimensions
The international standard and testing organization recommends a 6-ft. safety zone in all directions around the playset to accommodate swinging, sliding and running.
