Playset Helical Pilings
I’m planning a wooden playset for my backyard. I want to use an anchor system that is easier than concrete but still stable. I found the Pylex helical pile and in speaking with them, they recommended a total of 8 PylexL (10725) pilings: 4 for the main structure and 2 for each of the swing arms. I’m anticipating an average playset with a main fort structure and two swing extensions on each side. They also said I could add a lateral stabilizer and a stronger uplift connector. I would plan to install these so the bottom of the playset is above the current grade by a few inches so I can build a small border around it and fill with wood chips. Does this seem like it would be a strong and stable structure? I’m concerned about lateral movement, uplift movement, and just general stability.
