FAQ
General
What is roto-molding, and why is it a preferred method for making playset parts?
Rotomolding, or rotational molding, is the preferred method for making slides and other swing set components because it creates exceptionally durable products. The process involves slowly layering resin under low pressure, reducing stretching and resulting in a stronger and longer-lasting final product compared to high-pressure molding methods. This ensures that playset components made through rotomolding can withstand years of use and provide robust, Herculean strength.
What types of materials are used in your roto-molded products?
All of the products manufactured at the TUSK facility are crafted using high-quality resin. We take pride in ensuring that our roto-molded products are free from harmful chemicals, providing you with safe and reliable products for you and your family.
Are your products UV-resistant and weatherproof for outdoor use?
Yes, our products are designed to withstand outdoor elements with excellence. Both our resin and colorants are formulated with UV protectants, ensuring exceptional UV resistance.
What is the weight limit for your products, and are they suitable for kids of all ages?
Our in-house manufactured products have a 250 lb. recommended weight limit and are strong enough to support kids at play. We also use rounded corners and edges, alongside offering soft grip chains, to ensure that our products are fun and easy to play for all children, both big and small.
Can I purchase a complete swing set from TUSK?
We offer swing set parts but do not sell completely assembled swing sets. However, as a supplier of parts to many reputable brands, call our team and we can give you a referral so you can purchase a fully built set that still uses TUSK parts.
Shipping & Installation
Can I install these products myself, or do I need professional installation services?
Certainly! Our products are designed for DIY installation and if you choose to do it yourself we have a few helpful tips.
- Make sure you have at least two people helping with the installation process to help it go smoothly and enhance safety.
