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.
