Maintenance:

Regular maintenance is essential to prolong the lifespan of your swing set or swing. We recommend periodically inspecting the equipment for any signs of wear or damage and tightening any loose bolts or screws. To clean the swing set or swing, use mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Warranty and Parts:  

We are proud to offer the best warranty in the business for swing set frames of this nature. While the typical Swing Sets have a one or two-year warranty on the frame, gobaplay is proud to offer a full five (5) year warranty on the frame. Made from powder-coated galvanized steel, we are confident that this product won’t bend or rust and we stand behind it with this industry-leading warranty.

Our climbing play sets are backed by a limitedtwo (2) year, non-transferable warranty that covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

Our individual swings are backed by a limited one (1) year, non-transferable warranty that covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

gobaplay products are shipped nationwide except the Chatham Islands via maingfreight. We provide you with a tracking number via email once the product ships. Shipping will take up to 10 working days.

Shipping is a flat fee of $100 for all Swing Sets and the Dome.

Assembly and Spare Parts:  

The assembly time can vary depending on the specific model and your level of experience with similar projects. On average, it may take a few hours with two adults. The manual guides provided with your purchase will give you an estimated assembly time to help you plan accordingly.

The equipment must be anchored before use. Anchors are included at no charge with all swing sets and the climbing Dome. Failure to anchor the equipment can result in serious injury and damage and may void this warranty. This is especially important for windy conditions and under aggressive use.

This is dependent on the products that you purchase.

This is outlined below;

  • Single Swing Set - 4 anchors
  • Medium Swing Extension Set - 6 anchors
  • Large Swing Extension Set - 6 anchors
  • Geometric Climbing Dome - 3 anchors and 3 anchor plates

Our products should be positioned no less than 2m from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, building or overhanging trees or wires.

The 2m of clear space provides the user with a safe play zone to limit the possibility of hitting something hard like a wall or fence.

Currently, we do not offer professional services. However, we provide detailed manuals and assembly guides to assist you in the installation process. These resources are designed to make the assembly process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Link to assrmbly manual

The specific tools needed for your gobaplay products will be listed in the manual provided with your purchase as well as on our installation page.

We understand the importance of maintaining and repairing your swing sets and swings. We have a spare parts inventory and are committed to assisting you with any issues you may encounter. We will evaluate your situation on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action.

While ASTM Standards highly recommends installing swing sets & playsets over soft absorbent surfaces, such as mulch, sand, shredded rubber, and like padded materials, should you install on grass, ensure your grass is kept at a moderate length, properly maintained, and free of hard objects under the playsets. Long or overgrown grass can pose tripping hazards and may also be more prone to damage or wear from use and hardened/dried earth can create an unsafe landing surface. Additionally, it's important to properly anchor the set to the ground to prevent tipping or movement during use. This can be done by using ground anchors to secure the frame of the swing set to the ground.

Installation

Our products should be positioned no less than 2m from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, building or overhanging trees or wires.

The 2m of clear space provides the user with a safe play zone to limit the possibility of hitting something hard like a wall or fence.

Each of the accessories attaches to the swing set with a carabiner clip making them easy to be changed while still be safely secured.

We currently have our round swing available for purchase separately but unfortunately are unable to offer our other accessories separately at this stage.

While ASTM Standards highly recommends installing swing sets & playsets over soft absorbent surfaces, such as mulch, sand, shredded rubber, and like padded materials, should you install on grass, ensure your grass is kept at a moderate length, properly maintained, and free of hard objects under the playsets. Long or overgrown grass can pose tripping hazards and may also be more prone to damage or wear from use and hardened/dried earth can create an unsafe landing surface. Additionally, it's important to properly anchor the set to the ground to prevent tipping or movement during use.
