Choosing your surfacing
Every playground needs compliant softfall underneath it — wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch or synthetic turf.
Who animal suits
Animal themed playgrounds use friendly characters and creature-feature climbers, including the BeeHive Buzz range in three sizes and Beetopia, and suit childcare centres, schools and parks after playful, approachable design.
