Wooden Playsets Through Preventive Maintenance.

 

Quality backyard wooden playsets are expensive.. It's surprising how much money is spent on the original purchase and how little is spent to maintain it. If you spent over $2000 on your children's swingset.. It's an investment. It will depreciate, however, it will also retain value, provided your family fun center is properly cared for.

 

This is not a sales pitch.. This is advice.

 

Your family playset is outside 365/24/7.. During everyday play, it can be subjected to forces similar to a light car crash depending on the weight and momentum forced on it. If you don't inspect and tighten the play system bi-annually, it can be more dangerous than fun. Loose bolts can ream out holes in the post or beams and weaken the entire structure. If you don't protect the wood from the sun and rain it's more likely to splinter. Depending on the type of wood, if you allow the moisture to totally evaporate from the wood, it's more likely to become brittle and lose overall strength.

 

A quality playset can be re-sold for 50-75%

of it's original value with annual maintenance.

 

Water based sealants don't last.. Most wood swing set manufacturers pre-seal their systems with water-based sealants due to shipping regulations. Unfortunately, water based sealants start to break down shortly after being exposed to the elements. Some playset manufacturers recommend re-applying sealant within the first year. Oil based sealants are made to be more durable and offer greater protection of wood products.

 

Re-tightening and inspections every 6 months are

recommended for all wooden playsets. You don't have to hire us

for this preventive maintenance, but it's important that it's done. 

 

We offer complete playset maintenance .. Our maintenance service consist of an inspection to determine if any repairs are necessary and a complete tightening of all components of the play system. We then pressure wash the wood to remove oxidized sealants and particulates. This insures maximum penetration of the new sealant and reduces the time spans between re-sealing. We allow the wood to dry for a few days before applying a fresh coat of oil based sealant.
