When purchasing a playset for your yard:
- Choose a set your children use for years to come.
- Consider the activities your children enjoy.
- Choose a playset that can be expanded as your children grow.
- Select a playset made from durable wood material such as cedar or redwood when possible. While pressure-treated pine can be used, make sure the preservative doesn’t contain chromium or arsenic.
