We're serious about safety!
Your childrens safety is important right?
Whilst you cannot cover your child in bubble-wrap, you can definitely take care when selecting the safety features on toys and items your child plays with and on.
We have used the same design on our structures since their design in 1989, and we constantly update our manufacturing and installation methods whenever a safety flaw is found.
SANAS 2010 H&S Guidelines for Play Equipment, Codes 51176-1, -2, -3 and -7 - are relevant to this industry.
Below are the main features to look out for:
How does online ordering work?
We've made it as easy as possible for you to order your play equipment directly from our website. Simply add the items you require to your shopping cart and when done, hit the "place order" button.
You will be requested to complete a simple order form which when submitted, will notify us of your order and we will contact you to finalize payment, delivery and installation options etc.
Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Maintaining your wooden jungle gym
Timber is a natural product, and prone to splitting and rotting with age. The sun heats and dries out the timber, and in the cold it contracts, whilst water and rain are absorbed and expand the fibres of the timber - this constant expansion and contraction - weathering - leads to premature splitting, rotting and sun bleach of the timber.
There is no effective way of stopping this weathering process altogether, however this damage can be limited through regular maintenance and care of your timber, much like polishing your wooden furniture or painting your window frames and garage doors.
On-site installation service
Once you have selected your items and layout, we confirm a date with you for installation. An invoice and booking information are emailed through to you. The installation team arrives on this pre-booked date, and lay out the structure on the ground for your siting approval prior to installation.
They will also ensure safety precautions are attended to such as not too close to a boundary wall or swimming pool. Within 4 – 6 hours, installation is complete (dependant on size of structure)
Maintaining your sandpits
Sandpits require regular maintenance. Slugs, bugs and nunu's get in to the sand, and the sand can be easily treated.
We recommend the following:
- Domestic use: Sprinkle the sand with coarse sea salt to keep bugs and slugs out, and white vinegar to keep cats and dogs away. Loosen or rake the sand regularly to ensure weeds cannot take hold (grass grows from the bottom, weeds grow from top down).
- Schools: Sprinkle the sand with coarse sea salt or Sandpit Powder to keep bugs and slugs out, and kill off bacteria. Have a sandpit cover fitted to keep leaves, neighbourhood cats and dogs out. Rake or loosen the sand daily to keep sand clear of leaves.
We stock Sandpit Powder in 5kg tubs - See Accessories page for pricing and ordering. 1kg of powder per cube of sand, as per instructions on tub.
Pepper, cinnamon or white vinegar also work in keeping cats and dogs out of the sandpits, with their sensitive noses!
Maintaining your metal equipment
Keep checking for rust and limit moving the jungle gym around your garden as this may chip the paint and open the metal to rust. These may require re-painting every 2nd year to keep the paint looking new.
Our Guarantee
All timber used is treated with CCA Tanalith to the SABS H4 below ground specification. Our Treaters are ISO9001 approved and guarantee the poles for 5 years against infestation of all wood destroying insects. The structure carries a twelve-month guarantee on workmanship.
