Ages, footprint and fall height

Ages

Sized for primary-aged children, roughly 5 to 12 years old.

Footprint

A freestanding footprint, most sites fit one comfortably into a corner of an existing play space, with the exact size and safety zone stated on the product page.

Fall height

Fall heights vary by model, generally in the low-to-moderate range; the exact figure is stated on each product page and sets the required surfacing depth under AS 4422.

What it costs

As a guide, single freestanding pieces typically run about $2,000 to $10,000, ex GST. A full connected system built around several pieces typically moves into the range where a primary-school multi-activity system delivered and installed typically runs about $60,000 to $120,000, ex GST. Every fixed-price quote covers the equipment, compliant softfall surfacing to AS 4422, site preparation, delivery, installation by our own crew and independent compliance certification at handover.

Surfacing to pair it with

A single freestanding piece still needs a compliant softfall zone sized to its fall height under AS 4422, mulch, turf or wet-pour rubber all work, and the product page states the exact fall height to design the zone from.

Read our surfacing guide, or compare wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch and synthetic turf.
