Is it easy to obtain funding?

Securing funding can be difficult and time consuming but if you plan the project well, have the backing of your community and can show that the playground will add real value then you should be ok.

How long do you keep spare parts for?

No Playdale manufactured product part, regardless of age will be made obsolete. Non-stock items will be made to order and any part can be fitted by one of our Maintenance Engineers or supplied on a delivery only basis.

Where do I get spare parts from?

You can get an extensive range of over 800 spare parts from our online spares shop. Contact Playdale Direct for more information or, if you prefer, you can contact us on 015395 39792.

My equipment gets a bit slippy in the rain, how do I prevent this?

Naturally when it rains your playground equipment will become slippy, therefore extra care needs to be taken if children are to play in these conditions. You can help to limit how slippy the equipment gets by regularly checking and cleaning it. This is particularly recommended if your equipment is positioned underneath trees, as an algae residue can form on the equipment making it slippy. Simply wash this off with soap and water and keep on top of it to help reduce the problem. If you would like some more advice please contact our Technical Department.

Do you carry out repairs to existing equipment?

Yes, we carry out repairs on all existing equipment that has been made by Playdale.

Are your inspectors fully qualified?

Yes, our inspectors are fully accredited to the Register of Play Inspectors International and have extensive experience in this field.

What do I get in an annual inspection?

The service includes a full non dismantling inspection to the current safety standards, a full written report with risk assessments on any non complying items and on-site minor repairs conducted free of charge.

Why do I need an annual inspection?

The annual inspection is a very important link between you, the users and the safety of your play area. Although you are not breaking any laws by not undertaking inspections, if there is an accident on the site your position could be considerably weakened. In our experience a regular inspection regime can reduce general maintenance costs considerably.
