Tips for Purchasing a Children’s Playset for Your Yard

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.
