How It Works
Bargain Corner
Our Story
Like a lot of good stories, ours begins in a barn back in 1988 when Ben King began building wood swing sets with his sons. The business has grown rapidly in the last few years. Now Elmer King has taken the reins from his father and continues to expand the company while keeping it family-owned.
The office team is made up of local people from Lancaster, Strasburg, and Quarryville. The craftsmen hail from all over Lancaster County. Everyone takes great pride in the quality of their work and nothing makes them happier than seeing children enjoying their hard work.
One of the best things about the manufacturing teams is that there are several father/son teams building the swing sets. This is a family business and we intend to keep it that way.
Quality of Products & Durability
Being parents ourselves, King Swings knows the toll children can take on objects. That is why we only use the best material to build our swing sets. Trex decking, Georgia yellow pine, stainless steel parts, and much more make our sets withstand children, storms, and, most importantly, time.
Since we use the best, parents can enjoy the swing sets with their children. Go ahead, swing, climb, and slide; the set is strong enough for you to play alongside your children.
Highest Standards & Safety
Children should be able to play outside without the need if mom and dad to be constantly monitoring them. This is why we make our equipment as safe as possible and also why we encourage parents to customize their play set to suit the needs of their children.
Customer Service
We get it, playsets can be a big purchase. This is why we stand behind our work with a hefty warranty. Each vinyl set has a 6-year warranty on all parts and our workmanship. The lumber inside the vinyl is covered by a lifetime warranty against rot, decay, and insect damage. The vinyl itself has a 20-year warranty against discoloration and fading.

Manufacturing and Installation
Manufacturing
When we say our swing sets are handcrafted, we mean it. Each swing set is built by hand right here in Strasburg, PA. Our Amish craftsmen hail from all over Lancaster and the surrounding cities. Mose, Chris, and John, our manufacturing managers, work alongside their teams ensuring the highest level of quality and safety.
Installation
Purchasing directly from King Swings means you are going to get our in-house crews coming out to deliver and install your set. We work with the install crew leads to provide a smooth, easy installation. Most swing sets take 1 to 3 hours to assemble, and when the crew is finished, the set is ready for your children!
We deliver and install in PA, DE, MD, NJ, CT, and parts of NY, VA, IN, IL, OH, NC, SC, MA, TN, and FL. Don’t see your state? Call in and chat with our team to see what is possible!
