Playground Swing Chains

Playground Swing Chains

The vivid memory of soaring to incredible heights on a swing set stays with children long after the metal links have stopped swaying. But while kids might recall how high they went or who gave them a push, they won't be thinking about the trust they placed in the swing set chains. If you're responsible for purchasing or maintaining a play area, though, you realize how important a high-quality swing set chain can be to children's safety. At PlaygroundEquipment.com, we carry a variety of durable swing set links and accessories to upgrade or repair your play equipment for an affordable price.

Galvanized Chains

Hot-dipped galvanized chains for swings are a popular, durable, and economical choice. Best of all, they're created with swing set safety in mind. Galvanized chains are specifically designed to be exceptionally strong, deter corrosion, and even prevent pinched fingers. A galvanized swing set chain is light gray and simple in style but effective in performance. You can trust galvanized chains for swings to give children a safe and enjoyable experience on the swing set.

Zinc Chains

If you are replacing the playground swing chains at a school or park where lots of children play, you can buy commercial-grade zinc chains for swing sets by the foot or in bulk. The links in our zinc swing set chain come in two different sizes and can hold up to 3,900 pounds. These swing chains are also designed to prevent pinching.

Plastisol-Coated Chains

A plastisol-coated playground chain can give a whole new personality to the swing set. Plastisol is a PVC-based coating applied to the metal links. When this gel coating solidifies, the swing chain has a plastic-like texture. This makes the metal used to create the playground swing chain easier for children to hold onto while they swing. Also, a plastisol-coated chain can be brightly colored. You can coat the full length of a playground chain with the colored plastisol, or you can buy chain swing links covered only in the grip area. With natural grip, bright colors, and no finger pinching, a plastic-coated swing set chain increases safety and style on the playground. You can use each coated playground chain with different seat types, including belt, bucket, glide, and tire seats. These playground swing chains can also be used with trapeze equipment.

Soft-Grip Chains

Soft-grip chains are another type of coated swing chain that gives young children a safe experience. This soft, colorful coating entirely covers the links in the area where children grip the playground swing chain. Swing chains with this option are available for sale in several colors. Like the plastisol-coated chains, soft-grip chains for swings can be used with a variety of seat types and trapeze rings. You can use this swing chain to replace any other chain in swing set installation projects.

Chain Sleeves

Chain sleeves encase playground swing chains in a plastic covering. The lumpy link shapes are still visible and can be felt in the chain sleeves, but the plastic gives kids a better grip on the chain. Swing safely without worrying about pinched fingers or corrosion when you buy a swing with chain sleeves!
