It's that time of year again. The season of twinkling lights, hot chocolate, and family traditions. The house fills with laughter, the scent of pine, and the excitement of finding the perfect gifts. While you’re unboxing ornaments and hanging stockings, it’s also the perfect moment to plan something truly unforgettable for your family: a custom swing set from King Swings.
If a vinyl swing set or playhouse is on your wish list this year, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about ordering, delivery, and installation before Christmas morning arrives.
Why A Swing Set for Christmas
The holidays have a way of bringing everything back home—family, tradition, and the joy of giving something truly meaningful. As you check off your list this year, consider a gift that lasts well beyond the season—a handcrafted swing set designed for years of laughter and play.
While it may not be the most obvious choice for winter, more families than ever are choosing to surprise their children with a backyard swing set on Christmas morning. Here’s why:
- It's a timeless, show-stopping gift that creates an unforgettable moment.
- It encourages outdoor play, even in the cooler months.
- You'll bypass the spring rush and long lead times.
- It's ready to enjoy the moment the first warm days arrive.
- And if a swing set was already part of your plan for the year, this is the perfect way to make it extra special.
Picture snowflakes falling on a bright red slide or a snowman standing guard beside the playhouse—winter adds its own kind of wonder. Beyond the magic, a swing set gives children the space to explore, imagine, and stay active year-round.
And when it comes to quality, King Swings sets are built to endure every season. With stainless steel or zinc-coated hardware, pressure-treated lumber, and our durable vinyl sleeve, each set is crafted to withstand the elements—and the test of time.
Before Christmas Deliveries
What do you need to know about before Christmas swing set and playhouse deliveries? Here are several important pieces of information.
First Come, First Serve
Unfortunately, we do not deliver and install our swing sets and playhouses in a magical sleigh with unlimited space. The reality is that there is limited space on each truckload. We reserve the spots on a first-come, first-served basis, so do not delay! Get your order in!
Weather Dependant
Before Christmas, swing set or playhouse deliveries can be pushed off if bad weather arises. If a sudden massive snow or ice storm makes the roads treacherous or buries your backyard in snow, we must delay your installation. We will do our best to adhere to the Christmas timelines, but we also need to keep our team members safe.
Order Soon
The sooner you place your order, the more likely you are to receive it as close to Christmas as possible. If you wait, other orders will dictate the location of the routes, and you may have to accept the set earlier in the month or after the Christmas holiday.
The sooner you place your order, the more we can work with you to find a suitable date that works for you and our delivery schedule.
Christmas Cheer
King Swings wants to help make this a magical Christmas for you and your family! If you choose to give the gift of sliding, climbing, and time together outside, we encourage you to do it sooner rather than later, so we can get you in before Christmas!
King Swings has been crafting vinyl swing sets for 35+ years, and we would love to help you bring the playground home this Holiday season! Each set is crafted by our Amish craftsmen and then delivered and installed in your backyard by our crews! Our design teams are knowledgeable, fun, and dedicated to helping you design the perfect swing set or playhouse for your family’s needs!
