Play towers for playgrounds

Play towers for playgrounds : notre sélection professionnelle

Play towers add height to a playground, and height is what attracts older children and gives the site a visual structure. Twelve models are listed: the Skytower panoramic observation tower, a pyramidal rope tipi, the twisted Twist tower, and the Cubes4 cubic structures on four levels in standard or urban versions. On a flat park, a tower is often the only element that reads from the far side of the site.

Choosing a tower

Observation towers are about the view and the climb to reach it. Tipi and twisted models put the emphasis on the climbing route itself. Cubic structures on several levels behave like a small building: children occupy each level and move between them, which suits sites with sustained attendance. The deciding constraints are the same across the range, namely the free height of fall and the safety zone, both of which are larger on this family than on any other playground category.

Surfacing and installation

The twelve models answer EN 1176. Because of their heights, they are demanding in impact attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 and in clear safety zones; both are dimensioned on the layout plan attached to the quotation. Foundations are confirmed against ground conditions before order, and installation is carried out in France.
