Playground swing seats connect to chains hanging from elevated frames. These seats underwent regular maintenance through bolt adjustments.
Upkeep involved inspecting the bolts that secured the seats to the chain ends. Crews used tools to turn and tighten these bolts, repeating the process at set intervals to maintain the attachments.
This tightening of swing seat bolts no longer occurs.
The seats remain fastened in place at the bottom of the chains. They hang steadily under the swing structure, available for pushing back and forth across the playground surface.
Playground swing seats persist without the prior routine of bolt tightening.
