Viking Swing with Nest Top

241-VKN

The Viking Swing with Nest Top is a group swing for parks, adventure playgrounds or schools, built as a large multi-user structure on a Jarrah frame. Several children stand or sit together on the wide coconut-rope platform and work together to build the swinging motion, developing balance, teamwork and coordination as the swing gathers momentum.

The randomly arranged bush poles crowning the frame give the swing its nest silhouette and make it an instant visual landmark in a playground, while at full swing it reads as a giant rope swing rather than a seat, with the play value coming from the group motion itself. Because the platform is wide and flexible, children of different sizes can share it at once, making this a cooperative pendulum swing rather than a solo ride.

Built in our O’Connor WA workshop from West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), the frame pairs durable metal swing hardware with the coconut-rope platform, and the structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685 for multi-user swing sets. Support rope colours and painted pole tops and bandings can be selected to match your project palette.

VRI installs the Viking Swing with Nest Top across Perth and WA, or supplies it Australia-wide as a supply-only option with installation drawings for your contractor. Talk to us about the Viking Swing with Nest Top for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Viking Swing with Nest Top need softfall surfacing?
Yes. The Viking Swing with Nest Top has a free height of fall of 1800mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.
What age group is the Viking Swing with Nest Top for?
The Viking Swing with Nest Top suits children aged 5 years and over. The wide, flexible coconut-rope platform lets children of different sizes share it at once, so the play value comes from building the motion together rather than from a solo ride.
How does the Viking Swing with Nest Top differ from the standard Viking Swing?
Randomly arranged bush poles crown the frame, giving the Viking Swing with Nest Top its nest silhouette and making it an instant visual landmark. The platform, span and free height of fall match the standard Viking Swing, so only the crown differs.
