Double Super Swing : DFA-ASN-EXT

Description

This very durable, solid swing frame is made using beautiful round timbers, and has been specifically designed to withstand several hours of vigorous, daily swinging by children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

 

The linear vestibular movement of swinging calms the sensory system, particularly in children and young people on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) pathway.

 

The modifications include heavy-duty swing points with washer plates, nyloc screws, and four diagonal bracers instead of the standard two. Also, a thicker 14cm Ø top pole rather than the standard 12cm Ø.

 

The legs are dug into the ground and have heat-sealed bitumen sleeves fitted over the ground-line section of the timber posts. This keeps the causes of ground rot out and the preservative in, ensuring that the new piece of equipment will last for many years. The legs can also be concreted into the ground if required.

 

These modifications allow it to withstand excessive use by children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in order to help them relax, to ease their anxiety, and to calm their minds.

 

Swinging movements and the predictability of linear swinging often helps to calm or slow down hyperactivity in autistic children and adults. It also develops and increases body awareness, muscle tone, balance, and coordination.

 

High quality components

The extra large black polyurethane swing seats offer a wider and deeper seating surface and have a special non-standard eye nut and crowfoot fixtures with protective wings to reduce finger entrapment. These swing seats are larger than our standard black rubber swing seats and are supplied with 1.8m long stainless steel chains, giving a finished seat height of around 55cm from ground level to the bottom of the seat. The chains can be shortened by cutting and removing links, if required.

Two commercial-grade swing seats come as standard with this swing frame, and are included in the price.

The swing frame is constructed using machine-rounded, dense, Northern European softwoods that have been pressure-treated and waxed for durability.

All timbers come from sustainably-managed forests.
