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.
