Solid support
for every adventure.
Posts are the backbone of any great playground structure. They bear the load, resist the elements, and ensure the long-term safety of every component. We specialise in providing high-quality posts engineered for durability and compliance with strict safety standards.
When selecting materials for your park or playground project, the choice between steel and timber posts is fundamental. Both options offer exceptional performance, but they bring different aesthetic and maintenance considerations to the table. Our goal is to equip you with the foundational materials that will make your playground a safe and reliable destination for years to come.
Explore the details below to determine which material best suits your design vision and site requirements.
Timber Posts
Timber posts are an excellent choice for creating a playground with a warm, natural aesthetic that seamlessly blends into school or community environments. Our preferred option is H5 Pine Timber (90 x 90mm). This specific grade and size offer the perfect balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
Key Features of Our Timber Posts:
Natural Contrast:
Timber adds an organic element, providing a great visual contrast to the brighter colours and metal components of other play equipment.
Tough and Durable:
Our H5 treatment provides superior protection against rot, decay, and insect attack, ensuring the timber remains tough and long-lasting even in demanding outdoor conditions.
Economical:
As a readily available and robust material, H5 Pine is an economical choice that delivers excellent value for a durable foundational post.
Safety Finished:
For both safety and comfort, all our timber posts are finished with rounded edges and are sanded smooth, helping to minimise splinters and sharp corners.
Steel Posts
Steel posts are the premium option for playground construction, offering maximum resilience, longevity, and a sleek, modern aesthetic. While they are a higher-cost investment compared to timber posts, they deliver exceptional durability and low maintenance over their lifespan. Our steel posts feature a robust 90mm diameter round galvanised post that’s engineered for superior outdoor performance.
Key Features of Our Timber Posts:
Premium Investment:
Steel posts are considered a premium material option, offering a structural foundation that provides the ultimate in stability and reduced long-term maintenance needs.
Tough and Durable Coating:
Our steel is protected by an advanced, multi-layer coating system. This includes a baked layer of zinc shield which is crucial for ensuring exceptional thickness and adhesion, providing outstanding resistance against rust and corrosion.
Custom Colour Finish:
A final, protective polyester colour layer is applied, which is not only tough and scratch-resistant, but also allows you to select a colour of your choice, allowing for seamless integration with your playground design and branding.
Superior Longevity:
The high-quality galvanisation and coating system ensures the posts can withstand extreme weather conditions and high-impact play for many years.
