Best New Swing Sets for 2026

Best New Swing Sets for 2026: Introducing the Latest Designs from King Swings

As families head into a new season of backyard planning, one thing is clear: parents are looking for swing sets that do more than fill space. They want smart design. They want lasting quality. They want something that grows with their children and complements the way their family actually lives.

Our newest swing sets and playhouses for 2026 reflect exactly that. These are not one-size-fits-all structures. They are thoughtfully designed, Amish-crafted, vinyl swing sets and playhouses built for movement, imagination, durability, and modern backyard living.

Here is a closer look at the best new swing sets and playhouses from King Swings.

The Atlantic Swing Set

The Atlantic stands out immediately for its smart, space-saving multi-deck design. Two elevated play decks are connected by a monkey bar swing beam that keeps the swings centered between the towers. The result is efficient use of backyard space while maintaining natural movement from climbing to sliding to swinging.

Children can climb the rock wall or take the ladder to reach the top. On the left tower, dual 10’ avalanche slides invite friendly races, while on the right tower, the super spiral slide adds a twisting thrill. Classic belt swings deliver timeless fun, and the deluxe toddler swing lets even the youngest family members join in.

A durable metal roof provides shade and a clean, finished look while standing up to season after season of play. Designed to grow with your family, the Atlantic delivers dynamic play within a balanced, modern footprint.

The Forest Loft Swing Set

The Forest Loft is designed for families who value creativity, comfort, and a smaller backyard footprint. This vinyl swing set centers on a charming playdeck with a balcony—a perfect lookout point for imaginative play or quieter moments with a book.

Getting to the top is part of the experience, whether children choose to climb the ladder or the rock wall, then slide back down. Beneath the deck, a built-in lemonade stand encourages backyard cafés, snack breaks, and endless role-playing. A flower box adds warmth and character.

The swing area accommodates both younger and older children, making it an ideal choice for growing families. Easy to customize and crafted with the quality King Swings is known for, the Forest Loft brings classic backyard fun into a compact, intentional design.

The Frontier Swing Set

Built for adventure and movement, the Frontier vinyl swing set is designed for families who want active play at every level. Its double-deck structure invites children to climb higher, race faster, and explore more.

Kids can challenge themselves on the 7' rock wall or take the stairs to either playdeck. From the top, dual racing slides spark friendly competition, while the twisting spiral slide adds extra excitement. Monkey bars encourage strength and coordination, and multiple swing options create space for soaring, relaxing, or swinging side by side.

Below the 7’ deck, a built-in lemonade stand and seating area provide room for creative play or a well-earned break. Like all King Swings vinyl swing sets, the Frontier is Amish-crafted and designed to grow with your family for years of backyard memories.

New Designs from Last Season

The Hazel Playhouse

The Hazel Playhouse fills the perfect middle ground: larger than the Cottage, more compact than the Palace, and thoughtfully designed for families who want space without overwhelming their yard.

With an 8’ x 6’ interior, the Hazel offers generous room to play. The sloped roof creates a modern aesthetic while providing ample headspace. Large windows allow natural light to pour in, and the staircase makes access easy and inviting.

The high swing beam includes the popular web swing, adding a dynamic element to the playhouse experience. A rock wall and avalanche slide keep the play active and engaging. The Hazel is spacious, airy, and easily customizable — an ideal choice for families seeking modern design with versatility.

The Laurel Playhouse

The Laurel Playhouse redefines what a backyard playhouse can be. As our first two-story playhouse, it connects the upper and lower levels with a ladder and introduces entirely new dimensions of imaginative play.

An interior rock wall challenges climbers inside the structure, while a turbo tube slide rockets out from the top story. Each level includes a coffee bar space for snacking, planning, or creative play. A cozy nook by the window invites quieter moments.

The high swing beam ensures the playhouse remains relevant as children grow. Architecturally, the Laurel features perpendicular sloped roofs and open-concept windows that reflect modern design trends. It is not just a playhouse — it becomes the visual centerpiece of your backyard.
