Benefits of Dome Climbing Equipment

Climbing domes designed for children have numerous mental and physical benefits. Additionally, they can increase the value of a residential area and boost the appeal of nearby parks and recreational spaces in the community.

How to Choose the Right Playground Climbing Dome 

Playground climbing domes are highly effective at captivating the interest of curious and inquisitive children. When selecting playground equipment, it is crucial to carefully consider the equipment's design and age recommendations. Additionally, factors such as the size of your playground area, play capacity, and safety standards should be taken into account. Our team of playground experts is available to assist you in making the best decision for your play area and community.

Commercial-grade equipment - A clever investment 

If you're looking to include multiple play activities in a single climbing structure, commercial-grade playgrounds can be costly.

This is especially important for institutions or schools where longevity and durability are crucial. Often financial help and funding opportunities are available. Applying for funding and grants can seem like a mountain to climb but we are here to help. Learn more about funding and grants here.

What is the safest playground equipment?

All of our playground equipment complies with all UK safety standards. But it is still vitally important to choose age-appropriate equipment. All of our products are tested by children to make sure they are safe and enjoyable products for the right age groups.

What is the difference between commercial and residential playground equipment?

Commercial playground equipment is usually more exciting and more complex. It is designed to accommodate a large volume of children simultaneously whilst offering a broader range of play activities. Residential playgrounds, on the other hand, are typically smaller and simpler in design, suitable for a family or a small group of children.

Why are commercial playgrounds so expensive?

Commercial playground equipment is designed to withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions. It must be built with durable materials such as high-grade steel, strong plastics, and weather-resistant coatings. These materials come at a higher cost than those used in residential playgrounds, ensuring that the equipment can endure frequent use and last for a long time.

What is the life expectancy of commercial playground equipment?

All playgrounds face the trials of weather, use and abuse and will eventually succumb to the ravages of time. Postpone that day for a lifetime by choosing playground equipment of high-quality materials and the cleverest of designs. Quality costs, but quality also lasts. A simple equation that, in the fullness of time, pays dividends. You can read more about our high-quality materials here and warranties here.
