This article will highlight a few key points about wooden swing sets, which are made in Georgia by a company known as Gorilla Playsets. One of their popular units is named the Blue Ridge Frontier and they put a new spin on the set by adding a clatter bridge and second tower. This new swing set added to the Blue Ridge collection, is known as the Blue Ridge Pioneer Peak.

What is great about the Blue Ridge Pioneer Peak is that is has the same great features of the Blue Ridge Frontier but the new features make this swing set one that is sure to be a favorite in the line up. Known for high quality, this company makes a unique line of swing sets that are considered "RTA", (ready to assembly) meaning you assembly it when it arrives at your home. This is one cost saving factor for consideration because you can do it yourself with carpentry skills and a good friend who will help out.

Most of the Gorilla Playsets are made from cedar and are stained in the factory by their skilled employees. Making the Blue Ridge line truly unique because of the rich honey finish that is applied and the timber shield protective poly coating (this is green) on main beams. It is also applied to the corner fort post, the swing beam, and A-frame leg supports. This protective coating helps protect the lumber from the outside elements and also reduces the maintenance on these parts because you won't have to re-stain the lumber or sand it. You will have to perform this maintenance of the rest of the unit because the wood is exposed. In the instruction manual it offers suggestions on how often this should be completed. It also depends upon your climate and how often you apply a wood seal.

The rest of the line uses simply the best hand selected wood they can find. By obtaining wood from "Certified" forests they are doing their part to preserve and being an environmentally friendly, as a company.

Many of their structures are sold with the following features as standard equipment and this makes for great savings. They include are swing belts, trapeze bar, rock walls, climbing ramps, tic-tac toe spinners, green slides, picnic tables, and wood roofs. This manufacturer, Gorilla Playsets is one brand that makes high quality wooden swing sets for children.
