Are you looking for a swing for your swing set but don't know which one to buy?

Buying the right swing can turn your swing set into a hub of joy and relaxation. But buying the wrong one could result in frustration and wasted money.

That is why we at gobaplay will provide an honest, unbiased review of our two swings, the gobaplay Round Platform Tree Swing and the gobaplay Double Platform Tree Swing (coming to New Zealand in February 2024), to see if one (or both!) might be a fit for you.

We will cover the swings' basic features, safety, durability and installation, so you can make an educated decision about whether a gobaplay swing is right for you!

2 gobaplay Swings for Swing Sets

Before getting into the gobaplay Swings, note that these Swings can be purchased individually if you already have a swing set or as a part of your gobaplay Single Swing Set purchase.

A positive about the gobaplay Swings is they are compatible with most outdoor swing sets , so even if you have an existing swing set, you can add one of these swings to your arsenal without purchasing a frame. You can also hang the swing from a tree with sturdy branches!

You just need to make sure there are either one or two hooks on your swing set if choosing to attach the swing to a swing set. Each gobaplay Swing comes with 2 carabiner clips which helps with switching accessories on a swing set.

1. gobaplay Round Platform Tree Swing

Let's begin with some basic features of our first gobaplay Swing, the Round Platform Tree Swing:

Swing Features

  • Strong UV-treated 600D woven polyester base.
  • Powder-coated steel frame with padding.
  • Heavy-duty polypropylene mesh.
  • Adjustable high-performance polyethylene rope.
  • Weatherproof and waterproof.
  • Great for trees with sturdy branches or compatible swing sets.
  • Color: Dark Green.
  • One-year warranty.
  • Weight capacity of up to 114kgs.
  • $99

Swing Quality

The Round Platform Tree Swing is built with high-quality materials, including, a UV-treated polyester base, a powder-coated steel frame and a high-performance polyethylene rope, among others.

The Swing's ability to hold up to 114kgs and sustain through inclement weather conditions is a big plus for the Swing.

Swing Safety

The premium quality of the Swing also ties into its safety -- it's built with strong materials, ensuring that it won't break down under consistent use.

The outdoor Swing can also safely go from tree swing to swing set swing and its adjustable rope will allow you to modify the swing's height to a comfortable level.

Swing Durability

The Swing's quality features help it last longer than other similarly priced swings: Under reasonable use, the Round Platform Tree Swing should last at least a year but can last for many years if it is used/maintained properly (You will receive maintenance tips in the product manual upon purchase).

Swing Installation

Assembly is required for the Round Platform Swing. Download our gobaplay Round Platform Swing Installation Manual to see more information about how to install the Swing.

Swing Cons

For $99, the Round Platform Swing is about as good as it gets. However, safely installing the Swing could take some time to complete and the warranty does not cover general wear and tear.

2. gobaplay Double Platform Tree Swing - coming in February 2024

The next swing we will review, the gobaplay Double Platform Tree Swing, is a good option to safely hold multiple users at the same time.

Just like the Round Platform Swing, the Double Platform Swing can attach to an existing swing set or to a tree with sturdy branches.
