Are Amish Vinyl Playsets Worth It?

Is Your Money Best Spent on Vinyl Playsets?

If you're trying to decide between a vinyl playset and a metal one, you're probably thinking about safety, maintenance, and how long it will last, and also getting the biggest bang for your buck. Both options can be fun for kids, but there are some important differences to know before you buy.

Safety Comes First

Metal playsets can get very hot in the sun, as we know burning your tush and hands is not a welcomed experience. Vinyl (made out of recycled plastics & PVC) stays cooler to the touch, making it much safer for play during the summer. Your kids can play worry-free and slide away without the fears of getting scorched like we did back in our day.

Vinyl playsets are also made with non-splintering, smooth vinyl, so there’s no risk of getting scraped or poked. Metal can sometimes have sharp edges or rust that may cause cuts or scratches.

Built to Handle the Weather

Metal playsets can rust over time, especially in rainy or snowy climates. Once rust starts, it’s hard to stop, and it can weaken the structure. Vinyl playsets don’t rust, peel, or chip. The vinyl used is weather-resistant and designed to handle years of outdoor use even covered by a 20 year warranty - you just can't go wrong. Cha-ching!  Did we just hear more money in your bank?!

Long-Lasting and Durable

Vinyl playsets are made to last a long time—often through multiple children growing up. The strong wood frame inside is covered with a thick layer of vinyl, which protects it from moisture and damage. Metal playsets, on the other hand, may bend, fade, or rust after only a few years.....nothing like wasting your money on an expensive metal play set that just won't last.

Easier to Take Care Of

Vinyl playsets are low maintenance. You can clean them with a hose or cloth, and they won’t need painting or repairs like metal. Every parent needs a little less work on their To-Do List (including us!). If something does need fixing, parts are easy to replace.

Why Choose a Vinyl Playsets?

Playsets are built with smooth, non-splintering vinyl, making them safer, easier to maintain, and more comfortable for kids to play on. They also hold up better in the sun, rain, and snow compared to metal options. And bonus points for free installation and a 20 year warranty.
