Built So You Can Relax While They Play
When you’re buying something your kids will climb on for years, safety isn’t a feature – it’s the whole thing. Here’s exactly how a Riehl playset is built:
🛝 Built to ASTM F1148 home-playground standards – the consumer safety specification for residential play equipment
🛝 Splinter-resistant cedar (wood line) and vinyl-clad framing (vinyl line) – smooth finishes, no rough edges, no splinters
🛝 Recessed, galvanized hardware – bolts and brackets sit flush, so there’s nothing sharp to catch on
🛝 Heavy-duty swing hardware and chains – rated for real weight, real years, real kids
🛝 Proper anchoring on every install – secured, not just set on the lawn
🛝 Safety-surfacing guidance – we’ll walk you through what to put underneath, from rubber mulch to engineered wood fiber, with the right depth for the play height
