Customizing Your Vinyl Swing Set: Does it cost extra?

Customizing Your Swing Set: Free, Simple, and Fun

We love helping families create the backyard vinyl swing set of their dreams. One of the first questions we hear is:

“Does customizing cost extra?”

The answer is no. There is no customization fee. No design charge. No hidden add-on. Customizing your swing set with King Swings is completely free.

You’re investing in a premium vinyl swing set; taking the time to customize it to fit your children, your yard, and your home should be part of the experience, not something you’re billed for.

How Customizing Pricing Works

It’s simple:

  • If you remove an item, that cost is subtracted from the total.

  • If you add an item, that cost is added to the total.

That’s it.

Example

If you love the Sea King but want to remove the rock wall, add a second waterfall slide, and include a deluxe toddler swing with a larger swing beam, we simply subtract and add the corresponding component prices. You then receive a full, itemized estimate.

Swing Set Customizations We Offer

IMG_0351-1

King Swings offers far more customization than most people realize. This includes options that help your swing set fit perfectly in your yard or grow alongside your children.

Height Adjustments

Many swing sets can be lowered or raised to better suit your needs.

Layout Modifications

Add towers, connect playhouses with bridges, move slides, or shift climbers to different sides.

Swing Beam Choices

You can add or remove swing positions. For example, if the set you are considering comes with a 3-position swing beam, you can upgrade to a 4-position. Or, if you need to save space, downgrade to a 2-position swing beam.

Playhouse Enhancements

Add large windows, flower boxes, coffee bars, or bubble panels.

Climbers and Slides

Mix and match rock walls, cargo nets, ladders, waterfall slides, turbo slides, and avalanche slides.

Accessories

Ball pits, bubble panels, hammock swings, benches, misting systems, lemonade stands, and more.

Do Colors Change the Price of Your Swing Set?

For almost all color choices: no. This includes our newest modern colors:

  • Sage Green

  • Slate Blue

These colors are the same price as our classic palettes, offering fresh, modern design without added cost.

The only color that affects price is:

Black Vinyl Upgrade

Black framing costs more due to its unique material finish.

Mulch & Surfacing

Rubber mulch and poured-in-place surfacing have varying costs depending on the chosen color.

Transparent Pricing: Your Itemized Estimate

Before you place your order, you’ll receive a full, itemized breakdown showing every component, every customization, and every cost. This helps you add or remove items confidently while staying within budget.
