Ways to Design and Build a Children’s Play System

The design and construction of a children’s play system takes research and planning. Before choosing a play system for your recreational area or youth facility, you must consider these factors: safety, age-appropriateness, equipment durability and site preparation.

Consult with a specialist to determine the components you will need for your play system. Components can include standard swing sets, slides and climbing structures. You can also build and customize a play system based upon your own design.

Whatever equipment you are looking for to complete your play system—swings, slides, complete playground sets, or amenities such as sun shade structures, barbeque pits, and park benches—a representative will be there to guide you through the entire purchasing process. All amenities are built using the same safety standards given to all playground equipment that is sold.

After choosing your play system components and designing a layout, representatives are also available to advise you about proper ground cover and safety accessories. Play systems are available in a variety of colors. You can chose brightly-colored equipment for visually striking playgrounds or neutral color schemes to blend in with the surrounding outdoor environment. Many safety accessories are also available, such as plastic borders, wood borders and safety surface engineering. Plastic borders in particular can help keep children safe if they fall while using your play system.

All play system equipment is manufactured according to the highest engineering and safety standards. Only heavy-duty fabrication processes are used, which make all equipment safe, solid, functional and durable. Furthermore, only ultra-durable, heavy gauge steel platforms are used in the manufacturing of play system equipment, and all shipped equipment is individually wrapped to minimize freight damage. When you receive the equipment for your play system, you can rest assured it will be in good shape.

Assistance is available to help you with playground measurement and layout. Estimating cost and surfacing material can give you a head start on the design process before you speak with a representative. Safety resources are also available, providing you with solid, reputable references on playground equipment, materials and practices.

Need help finding a contractor to complete the installation process? A representative can help you find a professional crew or contractor to assist you with the installation process of your play system. Once the construction is complete, the equipment is covered by an impressive warranty that includes limited lifetime coverage for structural steel and aluminum fittings and limited 10-year coverage on polyethylene panels and timber posts. Call a representative today to turn your dreams of owning a children’s play system into a reality.
