Colours & Materials

Colour is one of the easiest ways to make a playground yours — match a school's colours, a council's brand, or a theme. Mix and match across steel and plastic, or talk to us about a custom palette.

Steel

Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, our playgrounds are designed for long-term durability and corrosion resistance. Standard components feature through-galvanised steel with a durable polyester powder-coated finish, available in a wide range of colours.

For coastal and high-corrosion environments, an additional zinc coating is available for enhanced protection, while hot-dip galvanised steel offers the highest level of corrosion resistance for harsh conditions.

Plastics

Moulded plastic components are manufactured from UV-stabilised Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), providing a durable, impact-resistant finish designed for commercial playground environments. LLDPE is resistant to fading, cracking, and weathering, delivering vibrant colours and long-lasting performance in Australia's harsh outdoor conditions.
