Playground swing sets and inclusive swing seats
Playground swing sets and inclusive swing seats: our professional selection
Swing sets remain the most used item on most playgrounds, and this range is built around who is doing the swinging. Fifteen models cover a face to face parent and child basket named Portia, inclusive woven net seats such as Bianka and Kordelia for children who cannot sit unaided, the large Puk nest swing for several users at once, and modular frames that let several seats share one beam.

Seat types and inclusive use
Seat choice does more for accessibility than any other decision on a playground. A flat seat serves confident users; a net or basket seat supports the trunk and opens the equipment to children with reduced postural control; a face to face basket lets an adult swing with a toddler, which changes how a site is used by families with very young children. Modular frames allow these seat types to be mixed on one structure so a single installation covers the whole visitor profile.
Safety zones and surfacing
EN 1176 sets specific safety zones for swings, measured along the swinging axis, and these are larger than for static equipment. Impact attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 has to cover that whole area. Both figures appear on the layout plan issued with the quotation, together with the foundation details, and installation is carried out in France.
| Seat type | Intended user | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Flat seat | Children who sit unaided | Standard configuration on modular frames |
| Net or woven seat | Children needing trunk support | Inclusive models Bianka and Kordelia |
| Parent and child basket | Adult with a toddler, face to face | Portia model |
| Nest swing | Several children together | Puk model, larger swept area |
Frequently asked questions
Can different seats share one frame?
Yes. Modular configurations are designed to align several seat types on the same beam, subject to the combined safety zone.
Why do swings need more space than other equipment?
Because the safety zone follows the swinging movement forward and backward, not just the footprint of the frame.
Are seats replaceable?
Seats, chains and fixings are available as spare parts so a worn item can be changed without replacing the frame.
