Outdoor Play Equipment from Home Front

Outdoor Play Equipment - Children love to climb and swing, and every parent feels that healthy outdoor play is good for children's development. Childcare specialists now know that physical play is of crucial importance in developing skills which are vital in future life. Children have always wanted to explore and climb - but there have always been hazards attached to unsupervised adventure play.
	Now with the arrival of multi-function jungle gyms, back gardens can take on the role of the playground at the local park - and the children will be close by and under parental supervision at all times. At Home Front we have always believed that a play system such as this is a major investment and as such requires careful thought. We also believe that it is the sort of investment which a parent only wants to make once. Hence our outdoor play equipment is massively constructed to last and last, and is designed so that children of all ages (yes, and adults too!) can play on it.
How to choose outdoor play equipment ? - as children grow, what accessories will they enjoy most? One of the most universal "must haves" is a swing beam, and together with the right choice of swing (ie infant or toddler swings) these can be enjoyed from a very young age. Or you can have a bench swing too so babies and parents can sit side by side. Have a look at our range of accessories for your play equipment or call us for advice
Typically children stop being so interested in swings by the time they enter their early teens but many parents report to us that even their older children will sit on the swing seats and chat. Alternatively you can hang a trapeze bar or similar from the same hangers so the adventurous and gymnastic will always find something to do. Unfortunately swings do require space - you must leave 8 - 10' minimum of free space in front and behind a swing beam so children can pass safely. If you can spare more, all the better. Current EU regulations require 2m of free space all round your equipment; we are happy to give advice and make suggestions as to how best to lay out your jungle gym

		Most importantly it is the climbing skills which young children will put to greatest use when they start on their outdoor play adventure. All our systems have as standard a ladder with round, easy-hold hand grips and either an angled cargo net with soft touch rope or a rock wall for more challenging climbs. This allows the youngest climbers to make their way onto the deck - and as they'll find a slide there the descent is always easier ! Slides add real exhilaration to the play experience and we have a choice of 4 different styles.
