wooden swing sets
Better by Design

It's no accident that CedarWorks swing sets are beautiful, safe, and environmentally friendly... it's by design. To learn more, select a topic on the left, or better yet, request our catalogue for the full story.


And bare feet, too
We are the only playset maker to exclusively use Northern White Cedar. The beauty of this remarkable timber (aside from the obvious aesthetic appeal) is that it doesn’t splinter and it never needs to be chemically treated. It provides a naturally safe environment for your kids. And since it’s maintenance-free, instead of spending time each year sanding and sealing your swingset, you can spend time swinging and sliding with your kids.
How green is my playset
Making playsets comes with a big responsibility. A responsibility to provide a safe, reliable product. And a responsibility to the environment. Each year we donate 10% of our profits to charities that support kids and the environment. We power and heat our facilities with bio-fuel and green electricity—it’s worth the extra cost. We use our scrap wood for heat, and donate our sawdust for compost and wood chips for horse stalls—you’d be surprised at all the uses we find for leftover lumber. Want to make a birdhouse?
Step right this way
CedarWorks does more to make playsets safe than anyone else—especially for the little guys—the kids under four. We have more unique kid-friendly accessories like our Bambino Rampino and Bambino Slide. Our Surestep™ System is the only safe way for toddlers to climb. Children as young as 12 months can simply lift their whole body up onto each platform so there’s no danger of falling. And our patented Kid Swing snuggles an infant and lets them swing as young as 6 months. Start them young. Keep them safe. Watch them grow.
4x4xMore
Get out your rulers. Our 4x4s are as much as one third larger than the 4x4s used by any other playset maker. What other companies call 4x4’s are as small as 3 ¼” on a side – or less! We work directly with the small family-owned mills in our area to custom order 2x4s, 4x4s and 4x6s that are all larger and stronger than our competitors. Same goes for our decking materials. No skimpy boards or cheap laminates here. Timber for timber, other playsets just don’t measure up.
Art for play's sake
A CedarWorks playset is not only designed to be a source of great fun and recreation for your kids, it’s designed to compliment your landscaping and be a beautiful addition to your home as well. Each set is constructed of Northern White Cedar and contains graceful arches and curves and construction details that you’d expect to find in fine furniture. Watching your kids grow, learn and explore out on a CedarWorks playset—it’s a beautiful thing in more ways than one.
Go ahead, play tough
The New England countryside is full of barns that have stood in fields for centuries. Just like these old barns, CedarWorks uses oversized timbers, post and beam construction, and mortise and tenon joinery. Then we add things like laminated arches, dual-beam swing supports, and notched braces to make CedarWorks playsets the strongest playsets you can buy. Strong enough for your kids. Strong enough for the kid in you.
Friends in high places
Peace of mind is not something we can show in a catalog but it’s one of our best features. Case in point: CedarWorks Fort Fences and Wonder Walls can enclose all upper play decks to keep kids from falling. They can also be used downstairs to create a safe playpen for the little guys that doubles as a fort for the older kids. Put our fences and walls wherever you want to keep the kids safe and as they get older you can remove them or replace them with a fun accessory. The fences, not the kids.
Big growth plans
We’re huge fans of Northern White Cedar. It’s splinter-free and it requires no chemicals or additives so it’s safe to use and safe to dispose of at the end of the life of your playset. It’s also sustainable, and to help ensure that we’ll have this valuable species in the future, we’ve instituted a re-cedaring program. We give a seedling to every family that purchases a playset, and we donate thousands of seedlings every year to small woodlot owners and environmental groups. To date, 400,000 seedlings have been planted. Guess you could call us Johnny Cedarseed.
Customer begins with custom
At least it does at CedarWorks. We’re the only company that custom designs every playset so that it’s a perfect fit for your particular family. You can begin the process at our website where you’ll find some great tools to start exploring your options. Then you’ll work with one of our Design Partners who will help you bring your ideas to life. And once you’ve created your playset, we keep your design in our database so it can evolve with your family over the years. You’re not just buying a playset; you’re buying a relationship.
The play is the thing
There are a zillion ways a kid can have fun on a CedarWorks playset. Take the Rollicking Roundabout. It’s a four-sided rope ladder that swivels twirls, whirls, wobbles, wiggles—it does everything but pack the kids’ lunches. Or our patented Choozaway swing system—it goes back and forth or round and round—it’s a perpetual motion machine. CedarWorks also gives kids twice as many ways to climb: climbing walls, angled ladders, tire ladders, ramps, ropes, poles, and more accessories than your nutty aunt Stella. Let the games begin.
