16 Rainbow Safety & Design Features

Rainbow Play Systems is committed to building safe, durable, stable, and fun swing sets. This is what sets us apart from other swing set manufacturers. We put care and attention into the details. Their heavy beam construction, and safe secure hardware are what makes Rainbow the best swing sets.

Rainbow uses the highest quality material, from massive timbers, big beam construction to the safest hardware components.  And Rainbow uses heavy duty material, from the thickest canopies, safe ladders, to coated safe handles that protect your children. These safety and design specifications make Rainbow swing sets simply the best.

Big Beam Construction

Big Beam Construction

Rainbow Play Systems are engineered to be rock solid and the foundation of their design is the abundance of big beam construction. Massive 4″ x 4″ & 4″ x 6″ timbers are utilized as structural components.

Notched Beam Construction

Notched Beam Construction

Essential for long lasting and durable structure. The notches that are cut into each end of the brace are designed to gain maximum support by bracing wood against wood. This greatly reduces the force on the lag bolt that holds the brace in position.

Vertical Spindle Safety Rails

Vertical Spindle Safety Rails

Parents appreciate vertical slats because they prevent youngsters from climbing upwards. We use thick 2″ x 3″ boards which are attractively turned 90º to permit greater play supervision as well as allowing the natural surroundings behind the play structure to be seen.

Recessed & Safety Capped Hardware
