Gorilla Playsets Yellow Plastic Safety Handles for Swing Sets – Durable Polyethylene Pair with UV Coating

These Gorilla Playsets yellow plastic safety handles are a simple upgrade for any wooden swing set. Each handle is made from tough polyethylene plastic with molded finger grooves that help little hands grip securely. A UV coating on the surface keeps the handles cooler under the sun and makes them easy to wipe clean. The set includes two handles, mounting hardware, and a manual for attaching them to most wooden playsets.

How do the molded fingers improve grip?

The handles are shaped with individual finger recesses rather than a smooth surface. This design gives children a more natural and secure hold, reducing the chance of slipping as they climb. The textured plastic also provides additional friction for wet or sweaty hands.

Installation details

Mounting these handles requires basic tools – a drill and screwdriver are usually enough. The included hardware fits standard wood thicknesses. The manual shows each step clearly. Once installed, the handles are fixed firmly in place and can support the weight of a child climbing.

Are these handles weather resistant?

The UV coating protects against sun damage and helps prevent the plastic from getting too hot, but the handles are not specified as waterproof. They should be fine in rain, but it's good to check occasionally for wear.

Do the handles come in other colors?

Can these be installed on metal playsets?

The manufacturer states they mount to most wooden playsets. For metal structures, you might need additional adapters or different hardware – not included.

Keeping the handles clean

Because the plastic is smooth and UV-coated, dirt and grime wipe off with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the UV coating.

Adding these safety handles to your playset is a straightforward way to improve climbing ease and security for children.
