Checklist: how to create a GREAT outdoor play area

Spotted from miles away is Hy-lands robust & strong appearance that attracts kids to come running and spend their playtime on the playground. Hy-Land climbing frames are known for their impressively robust wood, large and strong metal parts, which makes them conveniently no nonsense and very low maintenance. Hy-Land Professional Playground are type-approved meaning they do not need to be regularly checked by an approval authority but can, instead, be checked by the owner himself. There’s a logbook or checklist provided with every Hy-Land Project.

Remember the good old days as a kid cruising public swings? Children of all ages seem to like swinging. A swing is, next to a slide, a key element that attracts kids from all over the world, of different ages like a magnet. Next to the cool climbing frames with swing, two types of sturdy freestanding Hy-Land swings are available: the Classic Swing with two swing seats and the Nest Swing that accommodates up to four kids at the same time. The galvanized steel swing chains and powder coated stainless steel swing brackets account for years of carefree swinging. It will invite children to play together and have a lot of fun. And when the children have fun, their parents stay longer and that is good for business, isn’t it?

Hy-Land offers a very straightforward range of compact, medium and gigantic climbing frames for various available outdoor spaces and various amounts of kids to have the space to use their imagination and skills. For example climbing frame P8s comes with three majestic roofs that can easily be the decor for historic castle adventures or royal palace intrigues, and climbing frame Q4s looks more like a spaceship with it’s challenging climbing walls and nets. Both structures are delivered with an adventurous double swing, safe and sound with stainless steel swing hooks with nylon bearing. Smaller frames like Q1, P1 and P2 come in handy when there is less available space or a limited budget.

For both business owners and parents, it is most important that the playground is a safe place. Therefore we strongly advise to NOT mix and match different brands climbing frame parts and accessories, this can cause dangerous situations such as entrapment and materials breaking. It is best to stick to one brand so all the equipment matches together, safe & sound. And always make sure to follow the safety instructions carefully. When you commit to this, your Hy-land climbing frame is type-approved by TÜV Rheinland, Germany, according to European Standard EN 1176 - for usage on public playgrounds.

It doesn’t matter if the public playground is located in a country yard or downtown, for example at a school yard. The natural look of Hy-Land playgrounds blends in green surroundings with its natural materials and colours. Trees, flowers, green grass, stepping stones or water for the natural effects match all the Hy-Land Professional Playgrounds. On the other hand, the Hy-Land playgrounds will stand out in an industrial and metal surrounding. The Stainless Steel Slide would fit in perfectly. If you want to see more projects in a matching surrounding, take a look in the photo gallery.

If you have a smaller space to erect a public playground we recommend to make sure not to exceed this place. Even small Hy-Land climbing frames can handle more kids than expected. Project 4 maybe looks quite modest but can easily entertain six kids at the same time. Do you have bigger plans for your play frame?
