Buying a Swing or Play Set in Georgia: Just a few things to consider on the Atlanta Playground Equipment Market

As parents, we always have our child’s best interest at heart and when shopping for a family playground it’s certainly a serious task of safety first! Here’s a few tips from Mighty Swings Playsets!

A playground is a great way to gain some outdoor exercise and activity. Every child is different and express themselves through the unique art of play while pretending they become captain’s of a ships, air pilots, race car drivers, princesses in distress, play “mommy” and all that implies!

While your narrowing down your possibilities give these tips a run for your money:

1. Give the swing set your considering the “shake test.” Be sure the strength and stability is something you know you can trust your child to run, jump and climb on without the “wobbly effect!” It’s shocking to us the dangers we encounter when demolishing an alternative swing set to prepare an install for a Mighty Swings Playground (especially when the alternative play gym is only a few years old) Rest assured a Mighty Swings play set is designed with mighty hands and is sure to be a solid investment!
2. Please leave the assembly in the hands of a professional, this area of expertise should not be compromised. We understand the desire for a superior product offered a value so that’s why our in-ground installation is always free!
3. “Parents: Get in There” ... Climb into the Play Fort and get an idea of the “head room” offered on the model your considering. Keep in mind that the comfort of the room for growth is important to ensure many years of fun memories. Imagine a mature child standing with clearance and comfort!
4. Find a manufacturer that will customized your needs. Find the components and accessories that your child will utilize the most, Add a Rock Wall or other component as a reward system or gift at a later time.
5. Really Consider the materials used!!! Make sure no corner’s are cut here ... remember you get what you pay for if you see cheap versions of accessories, hardware, bracing support or lumber. Lumber choice should be designed for ground contact  specifically for our Georgia grounds, edges should be cornered and sanded. Last but not least; all hardware should rest in recessed holes for safety. 
6. Maintenance - All playgrounds require a little TLC so don’t buy into otherwise empty promises. Maintaining your investment will ensure it’s safety and ability to be utilized for generations to come.

Consider Mighty Swings if your looking for quality, value and the design expertise that will exceed your expectations. Call us today with any questions you may have at 1-877-9-MSWING or local at 770-530-8164. We look forward to working with you.

Happy Earth Day ...

This year Earth Day falls on Thursday April 22, this is the 40th Anniversary of our national holiday. For us, it's a great opportunity to learn more about our planet and have a family discussion on ways we can make a MIGHTY Difference with the choices we make personally and professionally! We are proud to be earth conscious about our product selection and our standard business practices and believe that each of us plays' a part to make a mighty big deal. Swing' back to your grassroots and join us, green team mighty swings in celebration and awareness. Bring it up at your dinner table tonight and have each family member commit to one new way to make a difference. A few thoughts for us to consider:

• Save water by decreasing your shower time -- or rather take a bath, which uses less water than a shower.
• Recycle – junk mail, cell phones, paper products, plastic bags, and more.
• Switch from paper and plastic bags to reusable bags and totes.
• Opt for direct deposit, online banking, and paperless statements to reduce your paper usage.
• Try your hand at composting (planting scraps from fruits, veggies, and coffee grounds outside), which will help create better soil and less landfill waste
• Unplug all of your appliances when you leave the house to save energy (and prevent a fire hazard).

An Alpine village in North Georgia breaks grounds for a Mighty Swings Playground!

Helen is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains offering breathtaking mountain views, the rushing waters of the Chattahoochee River, and lots of shopping and dining all in an alpine village package complete with cobblestone alleys and Old World architecture.


Helen has accomplished much; it has created a town and industry, providing jobs for more people and boosting the economy of the entire area. Helen also commemorates its historic past when the early settlers came to this area. A village with mountain heritage and a touch of Bavaria. Simply stated its one of the most beautiful places to visit as Helen hosts nearly two million visitors per year.


The City of Helen has teamed up with Mighty Swings and we are honored to present this beautiful Riverside Park as one of the most beautiful Commercial Sites we have had the pleasure of serving yet! The next time your taking a family stroll in downtown Helen “slide by” and “play hard” at the Derek C. Vanderbunt Memorial Park.


The City Park is located Directly behind “Big Daddy’s” restaurant, Edelweiss Strauss Street.  (sign’s are located when you first enter into town)

“We really appreciate the opportunity to provide a Mighty Swings Playground that exceeds the expectations of all whom visit and that will compliment the park’s natural beauty and honor those whom made it possible, a special thank you to the late Derek C Vanderbunt, whom is survived by his wife Gretchen Vanderbunt and his daughter, Evelyn and son, Garret.” ~ Mighty Swings, President, Coley Capell
