Kids really like the fireman's pole. They also spend hours playing in the play shelter. From our point of view it is a very roomy playhouse with storage for a small footprint - perfect for our small garden.

Soft Fall Areas
Play equipment and platfroms that involve children playing above certain heights need to take into account the surface that the child would fall onto, either deliberatly or accidentally. The nature of this 'impact area' is dependant on its height and are detailed within EN1177 playarea surfaces standards.
The main points are:
- Platforms over 600mm high need to have a barrier along the edge
- Topsoil or turf may be used as an impact absorbing surface on platfroms up to 1 metre
- The impact absorbing surface can either be a loose fall material i.e. bark, woodchip, sand, shredded rubber or a liquid pour surface or tiles
- The depth of the impact absorbing surface is dependent on the height of the potential fall
An additional advantage of an impact absorbing surface around your play equipment is that it gives an all weather surface and does not get muddy during wet weather.
