Conditions

Cover applies when equipment is installed to Kidzspace instructions and maintained per the Kidzspace guidelines. Timber exposed to the weather may crack, distort or weather over time, and is excluded where structural integrity isn't affected.

What's not covered

Cosmetic defects (scratches, dents, paint fade); damage from fire, water, vermin or insects, vandalism, corrosion, incorrect installation, misuse, extreme weather or lack of maintenance; and theft or events beyond our control.

Making a claim

Kidzspace covers transport of defective products back to us and the return of repaired or replaced products. Labour for on-site removal and re-installation isn't covered — talk to us and we'll guide you through it.

Looking after your playground

A little routine care goes a long way — it protects your warranty, keeps the playground compliant, and makes it last. The basics are simple:

  • Visual checks for damage, wear, loose fixings and vandalism — weekly, or daily on busy sites
  • Keep surfaces clean and clear, and top up loose-fill softfall to maintain depth
  • Rinse coastal sites of salt build-up to slow corrosion
  • Log inspections and fix issues promptly — and keep the records

Inspections

Keep up routine visual checks (weekly, ideally daily in busy sites) plus an annual main inspection by a qualified inspector, as required under AS 4685. Your handover documentation is the place to record it all.

Frequently asked

What could void the warranty?

Incorrect installation, misuse, vandalism, or a lack of the routine maintenance and inspections set out in the Kidzspace guidelines. Look after it as recommended and you're covered.

What counts as a coastal installation?

Anything installed within 500m of the ocean, where salt air accelerates corrosion. Coastal warranty terms are shorter, and regular rinsing helps.

Who should carry out the annual inspection?

A qualified, independent playground inspector, as expected under AS 4685. We can point you in the right direction if you need one.
