Customer Comments

The girls love opening & shutting the stable door and windows. I like it because it isn't a plastic eyesore - it actually looks great and makes the garden more inviting. For anyone with a typical small London garden,your playhouses are just brilliant as there are so many options available in respect to size. Thank you!

Soft Fall Areas

Play equipment and platforms that involve children playing above certain heights need to take into account the surface that the child would fall onto, either deliberately or accidentally.  The nature of this 'impact area' is dependant on its height and are detailed within EN1177 play area 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 platforms 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.
