03/ 132 frame types × 3 bay counts
Swing Frame TypesA-Frame and Straight-Post Frames in 1, 2 or 3 Bays
Two frame types and three bay counts cover the swing bays we draw for parks, schools and daycares.
Each carries two seats. A frame is built with 1, 2 or 3 bays. On 2- and 3-bay frames, adjacent bays share the middle posts, so a 3-bay frame stands on fewer posts than three single frames and reads as one piece on the site.
The bay count comes from how many seats you want and which seats they are, because different seat types go in separate bays (see the seat rules below).
BayThe space between two posts or leg pairs under the beam. Each bay carries two seats; a frame has 1, 2 or 3 bays.
1 bay2 bays3 bays
A-frame
Open lawns and parks. Each end of the beam stands on two angled legs, spread at the ends of the bay, where there is room around the frame.

Straight-post frame
Paths, fence lines, tight sites. Upright posts carry the beam and take less ground at the ends, so the frame fits along a path, a fence line or between other pieces.

Swing Frame ConstructionØ114 mm Beam, Welded Saddle Brackets, Sealed-Bearing Hangers and Closed Shackles
Beams and posts are the same Ø114 mm galvanized, powder-coated tube as our play structure posts, joined in welded saddle brackets with 304 tamper-resistant bolts.
A swing frame takes its load at a few points: where the beam meets the posts, where the hangers hold the beam, and where the chain meets the hanger and the seat. Here is how we build each one, from the top down.
01Top beam and posts
Ø114 mm galvanized steel tube with a 3.0 mm wall. Brackets and legs are welded in our steel fabrication workshop, and every part is hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated before assembly. Cutting, welding and coating are on playground equipment manufacturing.
02Beam-to-post connection
Welded at the top of each post or leg pair take the beam. The beam is fixed into the saddles with 304 stainless steel tamper-resistant bolts, capped, and bolted on site.
On 2- and 3-bay frames, the middle saddles carry the ends of two beams. Bolt positions and torque values are marked on the assembly drawing; security bits for the bolt heads ship in the spare hardware kit.
304 · tamper-resistant · capped · torque on the assembly drawing03Swing hangers
Each hanger is a galvanized steel housing with a , clamped around the beam with 304 bolts. The bearing carries the swing motion, so the chain doesn't wear against the beam.
Because the hanger clamps on from the outside, it comes off and goes back on without taking the beam out of its saddles.

04Chains and grips
Chains are hot-dip galvanized. The plastisol coating covers the hand-hold length of the chain, where children grip it.

06Seats
Belt seats are rubber with an aluminum insert. Toddler bucket seats and inclusive high-back seats with harness are partner-built and inspected by our QC against the drawing and spec before loading. Nest swings are made in our workshops.

07Checked in our yard
Swing frames are pre-assembled with your outdoor order, the same way as play structures. The yard team fits the beam into its saddles, clamps the hangers, hangs the seats and checks every connection. A failed part is corrected and refitted, and QC signs off before the frame comes apart.
The pre-assembly video shows close views of the saddle bolts, hanger clamps, shackles and part numbers. The pre-assembly process is on how we build playgrounds.

Swing Seat Rules by Age ZoneBelt, Bucket, High-Back and Nest Bays
Seats are placed by age zone and by bay. The design office follows four rules when it lays out the seats on your frames.
Age zones. Toddler bays go in the 6–23 month or 2–5 zone they serve, belt bays in the 5–12 zone, and every frame carries an age-range label. Toddler bucket swings for centers are on preschool and daycare playground equipment.
| Frame | Bay | Seats | Part numbers | Age zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 · A-frame | Bay 1 | 2 × toddler bucket | W1-011 · W1-012 | 2–5 |
| W1 | Bay 2 | 2 × belt | W1-021 · W1-022 | 5–12 |
| W1 | Bay 3 | High-back · own bay | W1-031 | Supported seating |
| W2 · A-frame | Bay 1 | Nest · own frame | W2-011 | Shared play |
Toddler and belt seats in separate bays, the high-back seat in a bay of its own on the accessible route, and the nest on a frame of its own.
| Frame | Bay | Seats | Part numbers | Age zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 · straight-post | Bay 1 | 2 × toddler bucket | W1-011 · W1-012 | 6–23 months / 2–5 |
| W1 | Bay 2 | 2 × toddler bucket | W1-021 · W1-022 | 6–23 months / 2–5 |
The youngest zone only: toddler bucket bays, with the same part numbers and colors at every center.
| Frame | Bay | Seats | Part numbers | Age zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 · straight-post | Bays 1–3 | 2 × belt per bay | W1-011 … W1-032 | 5–12 · grades 1–5 |
| W2 · straight-post | Bay 1 | 2 × toddler bucket | W2-011 · W2-012 | 2–5 · Pre-K |
Two frames on one campus layout, each in its own age zone, with the zone line drawn between them.
| Frame | Bay | Seats | Part numbers | Age zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 · A-frame | Bay 1 | 2 × belt | W1-011 · W1-012 | 5–12 |
| W1 | Bay 2 | High-back · own bay | W1-021 | Supported seating |
The high-back bay sits on the accessible route, with accessible surfacing to ASTM F1951 from the path to the seat.
What you get. A seat schedule for every frame: frame number, bay by bay, which two seats hang in it, and their part numbers.

Every swing frame on your layout is drawn with its seats, its use zone and its separation zone before it is quoted.

Swing Use Zone DrawingBays, Seat Mix, Separation Zone and Footings on Your Site Plan
A swing bay needs clear ground in front of and behind the beam, and at both ends of the frame. We draw it on your site plan before the frame goes into the quotation.
Use zone for each swing. The in front of and behind each bay, and the clearance at the sides of the frame, are drawn to the CPSC handbook values for that swing, or to EN 1176 where your project names it. Belt, bucket, high-back and nest swings each get the zone their type calls for.

Separation zone and entry direction. The layout marks a around each swing frame and the direction children should approach it from, so the walking route to other equipment passes clear of the swing path. If you want a low fence or a planted edge along that zone, your landscape contractor builds it to the marked line.
Clash check. The design office checks the swing zones against play structures, slide exits, spinners, spring riders, paths, benches and fences. Where two zones overlap, the designer turns or moves the frame, splits a 3-bay frame into two, or switches an A-frame to a straight-post frame. The layout you receive is the version where every zone clears.
Surfacing across the whole zone
The swing use zone goes into the surfacing thickness zone plan and area table, with thickness set by the critical fall height, so surfacing covers the full swing path. Materials are on playground surfacing.
Footings
Every post and leg of every frame, including shared middle posts, is on the footing detail drawing, with the footing size shown on that drawing.

Swing Posts and FootingsIn-Ground Posts, Base Plates and Shared Middle Posts
Every swing frame reaches the ground at its posts or legs, and every one of those points has a footing on your footing detail drawing.
Shared middle posts. On 2- and 3-bay frames, the middle posts carry two beams. They are drawn and numbered as their own positions on the footing detail drawing, so your installer sets them as the drawing shows.
In-ground posts by default
Swing posts and A-frame legs are set in concrete by default, per the footing detail drawing issued at drawing approval. The drawing shows the footing size for each post and leg.
Anchor-bolt base plates as an option
Where your site calls for it, frames can be ordered with anchor-bolt base plates, fixed per the same footing detail drawing. Slabs and rooftops are confirmed by your structural engineer.
Installation video
The video for your frame is cut from its own pre-assembly and disassembly, filmed in installation order with part numbers in frame.

Nest SwingsRope Net on a Padded Steel Ring, Hung From Its Own Frame
A nest swing lets several children swing together, or one child lie down in it. We make it in our own workshops.
The net
A rope net from our rope line, in the same six-strand polyester rope with a steel wire core that we use for climbing nets, fixed with aluminum and nylon connectors.
The ring
The net is stretched on a steel ring from our steel workshop, and the ring is padded all round.
The hanging
Multi-point hung from sealed-bearing hangers on its beam, with hot-dip galvanized chains, plastisol grips over the hand-hold length and closed shackles at every end.
The frame
A nest swing always stands on its own A-frame or straight-post frame in the same Ø114 mm steel, with its own use zone and footings.
What you get. A separate frame number on the layout, a single-item plan and elevation, and a nest, ring and hanging set numbered to that frame.

Swing Wear Parts and ReplacementHangers and Seats Reordered by W Part Number
Hangers, chains and seats are the parts of a swing set that move and wear. Each carries a part number from the day it is made, so a replacement is matched to your frame.
Every part is numbered
Hangers, chains, shackles and seats carry W part numbers, such as W1-003, on the assembly drawing, the part list and the packing list. The pre-assembly video shows those numbers in frame on your own swing set. The installation drawing, part list and packing list are kept on file for every project.
Changing a hanger
The hanger is clamped around the beam with 304 bolts. Your maintenance crew undoes the clamp, takes the old hanger off, clamps the new one on and rehangs the chain with its shackle.
The beam stays in its saddles the whole time. The security bits for the tamper-resistant heads are in the spare kit shipped with your order.
Changing a seat
The seat is joined to the chain with closed shackles, so a seat swap is a shackle swap at the bottom of each chain. Reorder the same seat, or a different seat type for that bay if the seat rules for the bay still hold.
