Signs & Accessories for Outdoor Gyms
SIGNAGE FOR OUTDOOR GYMS
Signs for outdoor gyms play an integral part in making sure that site visitors are well-informed before they begin their workout. Whether the signage is instructing the user on how to properly access the equipment, or advising them of general housekeeping rules, signs are one of the most important accessories for an outdoor gym. Without appropriate signage, you leave your site open to misuse. For example, a young child may have an accident whilst trying to use a piece of kit that isn’t age-appropriate, or an inexperienced user may injure themselves by incorrectly performing an exercise. Signage for outdoor gyms can help to reduce the likelihood of these issues occurring, and acts as a method of defence against unpleasant surprises.
Signs for outdoor gyms are also, in most cases, a necessary site condition. The EN16630 standard for permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment notes that all equipment must have suitable signage with instructions for use, key functions, and safety information. Additionally, certain councils may have their own policies for outdoor gyms, including mandatory requirements for a general sign. With this in mind, we highly recommend making sure that your outdoor gym has adequate signage. Not sure where to start with this? KOMPAN can help.
