A vinyl swing set is built to withstand heavy snow, rain, and heat. The maintanence free materials such as the vinyl, composite decking, poly accents, and powder coated metal make sure there is nothing to worry about for heavy snow and rain such as rotting, detiorating or fading. For the heat, our vinyl has UV inhibitors that resist the rays preventing fading. Also the vinyl and decking stay cool to the touch to resist burns!
