What
makes this outdoor play equipment superior to others on the market
? If you compare our systems
with others some differences will strike you immediately:
All our timber is rounded to a full 1/2” radius
edge: no splinters here
We use lots of bolts for maximum strength (there are
over a hundred fixings on even our smallest set)
We never use nails or staples to fix our timber (and
we use all stainless steel bolts, screws and washers)
Compare the specification of the timbers - we use
4” x 4” for all the structural pieces and
massive 4” x 6” for the swing beams.
We hang our swings on chains for maximum strength
and safety. Rope can fray and snap, it degrades under
ultraviolet exposure and it is vulnerable to damage
from flame and blades.
And
there are some things you can’t see so easily,
but which are just as important:
We do not specify age limits for our systems . The
clubhouses will support as many children who want to
play in them ! Unlike most, our equipment does not require
ground anchors to stop it toppling over either.
We design-in safety; our ladders have round, easy
climb rungs; our cargo net ropes are thick and soft
to the touch; our swing seats are superior quality
and strength; we have "wood on wood" construction so
critical joints don't just rely on bolts alone for
their fixing
Not everyone has a flat, level garden; we have a unique
levelling system as standard on all our Jungle
Gyms which allows us to build on a slope while keeping
the deck and swing beam horizontal.
What
about safety ?
All our equipment complies with EN71, which is the relevant
standard for residential play equipment. We can also provide
equipment to comply with EN1176 which is the commercial standard.
For more information go to our Commercial
Use section.
Where
is the equipment made ?
We manufacture the Southern Yellow Pine systems ourselves
in our own factory in Wiltshire. This means that even at
the peak of the season lead times are reasonable, and it
allows us to be flexible to accommodate special requests
and designs.
What
happens when I move house ?
Your Jungle Gym can also be moved ! Our equipment can be
dismantled and rebuilt at your new home - please ask us
for advice and instructions. You can also take the opportunity
of adding some more features at the same time: our systems
are modular so they can be easily customised or built on.
If you have a Canyon set you could transform that into
a Canyon Twin, or turn a Jungle Adventurer into a Mountain
or even a Cosmic.
What
about installation ?
We can provide an expert installation service - or, if you
want, you can build it yourselves. There are no special skills
required - just some basic DIY tools and experience.
What
is the guarantee?
We offer a LIFETIME guarantee to the original owner: provided the equipment is
used in a single family residential setting the company provides a lifetime
guarantee to the original purchaser against timber failure caused by rot and/or
insect attack on all timber components. In addition a 12 month guarantee
against all workmanship defects applies to all fixtures and fittings.
