Quality Materials for Generations To Come

Quality Materials 

When we talk about “quality”, we don’t just see a single aspect. Quality really is a guiding principle of everything Playdale takes part in. Playdale has over 40 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, and installation of everything from traditional climbing frames to modern sensory playground areas. Providing quality products is at the core of our values.

At Playdale Playground we only use high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, galvanised steel, and certified timber, to manufacture our playground equipment. This ensures that our products are durable and can withstand heavy usage and adverse weather conditions. Our towers are built to last! The high quality of all our materials is continually monitored through our ISO 9001 certified Quality Assurance Procedures to ensure all the specifications are met and are of a consistent quality.

Laminated Timber Poles

The laminated timber vastly reduces the natural effect of fiber separation which could cause splits in the poles, therefore, giving high-strength, highly engineered timber poles.

All the high-quality, round timber poles on Playdale equipment are produced from extremely slow-grown pine from totally sustainable, managed forests. These forests are also accredited. The laminated timber vastly reduces the natural effect of fiber separation which could cause splits in the poles, therefore, giving high-strength, highly engineered timber poles. Covered by a 20-year guarantee against structural failure due to rot or infestation when above ground level.

Did you know – where most companies use square poles, Playdale makes use of rounded timber poles to improve the durability of the product and reduce the risk of finger entrapments from splits in the timber.

Stainless Steel

Playdale structural Stainless Steel is made from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel. This is the most adaptable and widely used steel in the world

All structural metal used on Playdale equipment is made from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel This is the most adaptable and widely used steel in the world, and it exceeds the standards for structural playground equipment durability and safety. Covered by a 25-year guarantee against failure.

Did you know – Playdale fabricates all of our steel components in-house, right through to welding, bending, shot blasting, and painting! It makes our stainless-steel ranges extremely competitive, durable, and highly engineered.

Steel Ground Fixing

Made from heavy duty, corrosion resistant, galvanised steel. Covered by a 20-year guarantee against structural failure.

This is a high-strength, highly durable system for installing playground equipment. Galvanised steel brackets are secured to the timber poles lifting them clear of the surface. The steel brackets are then concreted into holes in the ground. Covered by a 20-year guarantee against structural failure.

Did you know – If for any reason your timbers need replacing, The work can be carried out without digging a hole, breaking out the concrete, re-concreting, and having to repair your safety surfacing
