Mix D street workout cage

The Mix D street workout cage is the only structure in the range built from four different materials, each used where it performs best, with integrated wall bars and compliance to EN 16630:2015. Galvanised powder coated steel carries the structure, stainless steel forms the pull-up and parallel bars, treated laminated timber provides the exercise and support surfaces, and cast aluminium makes the fixing flanges and connectors. The list price is 7,450 EUR excluding VAT.

The reasoning is budget efficiency rather than material fetishism. A fully galvanised cage has pull-up bars whose coating can wear through after two or three years of intensive use, at exactly the point where hands and sweat meet the steel. A fully stainless cage costs two to three times as much without any structural benefit on the load bearing frame.

Technical specification

Where the Mix D fits in a public equipment budget

The typical brief this cage answers is a conventional outdoor street workout project, a park, a sports ground or a municipal space, on a site that is not by the sea. The buyer does not want to overpay for marine grade stainless that the location does not require, but also does not want to under invest in a mini cage that will not survive the footfall. In the 5,000 to 10,000 EUR segment, this is the most fully equipped option.

The integrated wall bars are the practical differentiator against other intermediate cages, which usually omit them. Wall bars open up core work, assisted stretching and rehabilitation movements that a bar and dip station alone cannot cover, and they broaden the user base of the installation well beyond calisthenics athletes.

The laminated timber surfaces also change how the structure is used in practice. Timber stays usable when wet and is comfortable to lean and press against in cold weather, which metal is not; on a public site in winter, that is the difference between equipment being used and being walked past.

Frequently asked questions

Why not a fully stainless steel cage?

Because stainless brings no structural advantage on the load bearing frame while multiplying the cost by two to three. Stainless is specified here where it matters, on the grip surfaces. On a seafront site, where salt attacks everything, a fully stainless range is the correct specification.

What does the timber require in maintenance?

The timber is treated for outdoor use. Routine inspection alongside the periodic check of the fixings is the normal regime; the specific schedule is set out with the installation documents.

What ground surface is needed?

An impact absorbing surface to EN 1177 on freely accessible sites, with the thickness dimensioned on the free fall height, plus the 1.50 m safety zone. Overall dimensions come with the free layout study, and quotations are returned within 24 working hours.
