A: On each playset description page, you will find an area drawing of the unit’s measurements and an ariel view of the layout. Please look at this drawing from all angles, and take note of its size on every side. For safety reasons, we suggest 6 feet of additional space be added to the unit on each side. (Ex: If one side is 8 foot long, add 6 foot to that for adequate play space. This makes the total area needed 14 foor on that particular side.) Please pay special attention to the measurement of the potential playset of your choice, and measure your yard space for it’s potential spot placement.
Q: Do you have installation help if I need it?
A: Yes, we do offer installation in Lower Michigan or installation help assistance over the phone. Just call us at 1-866-665-0105. You are also welcome to email us at [email protected]. We are contactable from 9 am to 6 pm, EST.

Q: What if I think the wood is defective? How do I know if it is a problem, or not?
A: We want to assure you that we use quality wood in our playsets. The wood on our play sets is kiln dried two times for preservation. However, by the nature of wood, it will require re-staining every other year to keep it looking its best. This will help preserve it. (Read More…Safety & Maintenance Tips)
Some normal splitting of wood is expected, as wood does expand over time. If you feel like your wood is defective, just take some pictures of the area of concern, and email it to our customer service department at [email protected]. We will look at the pictures you send us, call you to discuss the problem, and process your warranty request with Gorilla Playsets.
*Please keep your proof of purchase from each item that you buy, so we can assist you properly.
Q: What is a Plastisol coating on the chains? What is it for?
A: All of our swing chains are dipped in a protective coating called Plastisol, to prevent small fingers from becoming pinched in the chains, and to prevent the chain from grabbing the hair of a child. It also provides a softer grip when a child’s hand grabs the chain of the swing. Gorilla Playsets tested many different chain coatings over the years, and found plastisol to be the best protectant.
Q: What are the tarps made of? Will they rip easily?
A: The tarps that install over the playset as a roof, provide shade from the sun and cooler temperatures while a child enjoys playing outdoors. The tarps are made of 2 layers of vinyl with a mesh in between them. They are a very sturdy material with a total of 3 layers. They will not rip easily.
Q: How long will a playset last? Will I need to replace it?
A: Gorilla Playsets last many, many years! The wood on each playset is kiln dried, twice!
To make a playset last longer, take care of the wood and the hardware. (Read More…Safety & Maintenance Tips)
The typical life of a playset will vary on weather and wear and tear, but most sets last 15-20 years.
Playsets can also be moved to a newer house if you re-locate, or be left to add to the re-sale value of your home too.
