What types of playground equipment are best suited for public parks?
The ideal choice for public parks includes durable, accessible structures that encourage inclusive play. Our range of outdoor playground equipment is specifically designed to withstand high usage, diverse weather conditions, and provide high play value. With over 1,000 options available, Timberplay helps you choose the best combination of equipment for your park’s size, age range, and setting.
How do you ensure the play equipment meets safety standards?
All our playground equipment is manufactured to meet or exceed European safety standards EN1176 and EN1177. Our certified installation teams are regularly trained to ensure compliance, making safety a priority for schools and councils alike. This offers peace of mind for organisations responsible for children’s well-being.
What is the process for designing a custom play area for a school?
We offer a complete design service led by our team of Landscape Architects specialising in play. We work directly with school staff to understand their pupils’ needs and create bespoke proposals. From play frames to themed outdoor play structures, each project is tailored to suit available space and educational goals.
What materials do you use for playground equipment, and why?
We use natural timbers like Robinia and Mountain Larch due to their strength, beauty, and sustainability. These materials require no chemical treatments, making them safer for children and better for the environment. They also ensure our outdoor playhouse equipment holds up well across different climates.
Do you offer solutions for schools with limited space?
What types of play encourage sensory development in children?
Our outdoor play equipment includes features that stimulate senses such as hearing, touch, and balance. These elements not only entertain but also enhance cognitive and emotional development. They’re ideal for educational programmes focused on learning through play.
Can your playground equipment accommodate children with disabilities?
Absolutely. We offer inclusive playground structures that ensure children of all abilities can access and enjoy the space. Our designs prioritise equity, ensuring no child is left out of the play experience.
What’s the lead time for playground equipment once an order is placed?
Can an outdoor playpark be part of a larger urban development project?
Yes, and it’s one of our specialties. We design play areas that integrate seamlessly into public squares, community hubs, and other urban settings. These spaces boost community engagement and add lasting social value.
Do you have options suitable for harsh climates like deserts or humid areas?
Our products are built to perform from the damp UK climate to the intense heat of the Middle East. The mountain timber we use is naturally dried to reduce moisture content, minimising cracks and extending lifespan. This makes Timberplay a reliable choice for challenging environments.
Can you assist with funding applications for public or private grants?
Yes, we support clients with technical documentation and visuals to strengthen funding bids. Our team provides drawings, renders, and play value studies to reinforce grant applications. This is particularly helpful for schools and councils working with limited budgets. Find out how we
support your project planning.
How does timber playground equipment compare to other materials?
The timber we use offers a natural aesthetic and a more sensory-friendly experience than plastic or metal. It enables organic, imaginative designs that connect children with nature. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking a more human and environmentally conscious approach.
Is there a catalogue available to view all products?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive digital catalogue with specs, images, and downloadable CAD files. Although our system is currently experiencing technical issues, our team can send the required information directly via email or phone support.
How can Timberplay support Landscape Architects in selecting the right playground equipment?
With over 1,000 options available, choosing the ideal playground equipment can be overwhelming. That’s why we work closely with Landscape Architects, offering design consultations, site-specific recommendations, and access to our expert design team. We help integrate outdoor play equipment into natural or urban landscapes, ensuring a cohesive, functional, and high-value play environment.
Do you provide technical drawings and CAD files for outdoor playground equipment?
Absolutely. All of our outdoor playground equipment is supported by a comprehensive resource package, including CAD files, maintenance documents, and technical specifications. These files are readily downloadable via the “My Product Download Collection” feature on our site, making it easy for architects to include our play solutions in their plans. For more on how to access these resources, visit our Contact Page or explore the Installation section.
Is Timberplay’s playground equipment weatherproof for year-round outdoor use?
Yes — Timberplay designs all playground equipment to perform reliably in harsh outdoor environments. We use naturally durable timbers like Robinia and Mountain Larch, which resist rot, pests, and moisture without chemical treatments, ensuring long-term performance across all seasons.
How does weather resistance reduce maintenance needs for public playgrounds?
Weatherproof materials like untreated hardwoods and corrosion-resistant fixtures reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance, even in high-rainfall or coastal areas. With Timberplay’s maintenance packages, you can further extend lifespan while ensuring your equipment stays safe and visually appealing.
