We’re always excited when Rebo bring out new products, and this new range of wooden swing sets with platforms and slide are definitely something to get excited about! Each swing frame is made from natural round wood timber, utilising the inherent strength and resilience of the whole tree trunk, allowing the timber to expand and contract with the elements along the wood’s natural fracture lines without compromising the frame’s integrity. The leg brackets are made from sturdy powder-coated steel, along with galvanised steel swing hangers. The 6ft slide and the swing seats are made from hardwearing, moulded plastic to ensure a longer lifespan.
Rebo swing frames are also pressure-treated for lasting durability, and to add to the overall strength and longevity of the finished swing set.
For stability, play equipment must be anchored; various options are available depending on the ground type. Searching 'Rebo anchors' on the store will show you the options.
This guide provides essential information for owners of the Rebo Apollo Wooden Garden Swing Set, designed for families seeking a durable and engaging outdoor play experience. The set offers a blend of natural wood aesthetics with robust construction. Note that the natural wood construction may exhibit cracks, which is normal and doesn't affect the product's integrity.
