GORILLA PLAYSETS SAFETY FEATURES

At Gorilla Playsets safety is our number one priority. In fact, over the years we’ve garnered a strong reputation as an industry leader for quality and innovation. From smart features such as recessed bolts, pinch-proof grippy plastic, and wide ladder steps, to an all around dedication to using only the safest lumber and hardware available, everything we create is made with the same incredible level of safety. This attention to detail is what allows all our playsets, accessories, add-ons, and more to meet or exceed all ASTM safety standards. 


COATED SWING CHAINS

Pinch-proof grippy plastic is just one of the ways our playsets keep kids safe. With these high-quality plastic coatings, you’ll never have to worry about fingers getting hurt or hair getting pulled while kids are having a blast on the swings. 


PRE-SANDED & PRE-DRILLED LUMBER

We make sure that when one of our sets arrives at your door it is ready to be assembled with as little trouble as possible. That’s why all our lumber comes pre-sanded, pre-drilled, and pre-stained so that it can go from box to built in no time flat! 


COMMERCIAL-GRADE HARDWARE

Fitted top to bottom with commercial-grade hardware, our playsets stand above the rest with best-in-class strength and stability. From swing chains that can withstand 800 lbs., to solid iron swing hangars bolted all the way through the swing beam, we’ve made sure each piece of hardware is made to last. For parts unrelated to the structure, we use electro-galvanized wood screws that are specifically designed to stay in place and never rust. 


UV PROTECTED & REINFORCED SLIDES

Slides are one of the defining features of any playset. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate assortment of super strong, super fun slides to be the highlight of every playdate. Whether it’s the smooth wave slides with high sides and wide landing beds, or the daring twister tube slides for a fun challenge, each slide is both reinforced and UV protected. The slides are both rotomolded and one-piece injection molded depending on your choice and can be installed without the need of extra wood framing. 


HEAVY-DUTY BEAMS & BRACKETS

Each playset we make comes with heavy-duty swing beams that measure 4 x 6. This ensures that your kid’s swinging experience is as safe and sturdy as possible. Not only that, but for our units with only one swing beam we use an industry grade bracketing system with legs that measure 4 x 4 and a beam that’s 4 x 6.
