Yes! Fit N Fun Backyards ships products across the country. Whether you're around the corner or across the country, we're here to help you create the backyard of your dreams.

Our playset lineup covers a wide range of ages. Most of our wood and metal playsets are designed for children ages 3 to 12, with different models offering features suited to toddlers, school-age kids, and everything in between. Product pages include age range and weight capacity details to help you choose the right fit.

Wood playsets, particularly those made from cedar, offer a classic look, natural durability, and excellent customization options. Maintenance-free playsets are constructed from materials that resist rot, fading, and splintering without the need for staining or sealing. The best choice depends on your budget, climate, and how much upkeep you want to do over the years.

Yes. AlleyOOP trampolines are engineered with family safety as a priority. Every model features high-strength enclosure nets, thick overlapping frame padding, foam-covered support poles, and reinforced jump mats. As with any trampoline, we recommend one jumper at a time and adult supervision, especially for younger children.

We carry trampolines in multiple sizes to fit different yard sizes and usage needs. Popular options include 12 ft models for compact yards and 14 ft models for families who want more room to jump. Oval and rectangular models are also available for athletic training and tumbling.

Each unit comes equipped with a bolt-down anchor base, allowing it to be securely installed on a concrete footing. This design also enables the unit to be disconnected and relocated if needed. For reinstallation, a new set of anchor bolts can be purchased to ensure a secure setup at the new location.

The ideal backboard size depends on your playing area and space availability:

• 54" or 60" Backboard – Best suited for a two-car driveway, providing a great balance of playability and space efficiency.
• 60" or 72" Backboard – Ideal for three-car driveways or dedicated backyard courts, offering a more professional playing experience.

Selecting the right size ensures optimal performance while making the most of your available space. 

All official competition-level basketball games, including high school, college, university, and professional leagues, are played using a 42" tall x 72" wide backboard. This is the standard size used in gyms and arenas to ensure consistency and optimal performance for players at all levels.

For those looking to replicate a professional playing experience at home, a 72" backboard is the best choice for a dedicated court or large driveway setup.

Fit N Fun Backyards carries a full range of outdoor shelters including gazebos, pavilions, pergolas, grill gazebos, outdoor kitchens, and carports. Most are constructed from 100% cedar lumber with powder-coated steel or aluminum roofing, offering natural beauty and long-lasting weather resistance.

With proper installation and routine maintenance, our cedar shelters and structures are built to last 10 to 20 or more years. AlleyOOP trampoline frames and enclosure poles carry a lifetime warranty, and jumping mats and enclosure nets are warrantied for up to 10 years. Specific warranty details are listed on each product page.

Many of our products are designed for DIY assembly and include detailed step-by-step instructions. That said, larger shelters and in-ground trampoline installations benefit from professional help. We're always happy to answer installation questions, just give us a call at (724) 234-3344.

Rubber mulch is a durable, low-maintenance ground cover made from recycled rubber. It provides excellent impact absorption under playsets and swing sets, helping to cushion falls and reduce injury risk. Unlike wood mulch, it doesn't decompose, attract insects, or need frequent replacement, making it a smart long-term investment for any play area.
