Outdoor spaces and grounds: Website for playground builders
A website for playground builders where councils, schools and parks compare equipment by age and play value, with material options and the space each piece needs including its clearance zone.
What visitors want to know from playground builders.
Playground builders get enquiries from a school board wanting "a climbing frame and a swing", without realising that a swing with a decent fall height needs a lot of space around it. Catalogues show equipment as separate product shots, with dimensions that only describe the item itself. People laying out a play area really want to know what fits on a site of a given shape, which age group a piece is meant for and how robinia timber, coated steel and plastic panels differ. Whether a piece is accessible to children in a wheelchair often comes up far too late.

From first visit to enquiry.
Organise equipment by play type
Instead of a catalogue sorted by product code, the site groups equipment by what children do with it: climbing, swinging, sliding, balancing, playing together. Each piece shows age group, play value and accessibility. A manager looking for a toddler area filters out the equipment intended for older children straight away.
Show space and surfacing
Each piece lists not just its size but the total space including clearance zone, and the type of impact-absorbing surface its fall height calls for. A simple plan shows what that zone looks like. Visitors understand why two pieces cannot simply stand side by side on a small site.
Explain materials and upkeep
A separate comparison shows how robinia, coated steel, stainless steel and plastic panels behave: appearance, upkeep, vulnerability to vandalism and how they age. Each page ends with the questions the designer needs answered: site area, user group, existing trees and whether children or residents have been consulted.
Connected to your software.
Playground builders often work with equipment from one or more manufacturers, alongside their own designs. Product data, drawings and certificates come from the manufacturer. The website shows that data per piece without retyping it, by linking to a product list the company maintains. Your own projects and designs stay with you. Enquiries reach the designer or account manager who already prepares the quotes, so the handover stays familiar.
Show a catalogue or a design approach
A full catalogue shows the breadth of the range but overwhelms a school board planning a single playground. A design approach with example playgrounds shows how pieces form a place together. Many playground builders combine both: a searchable catalogue for buyers and worked layouts for those still deciding what they want.
Serve councils and homeowners separately
A council thinks in tenders, maintenance and an inspection log; a holiday park in looks and upkeep; a homeowner in one piece for the back garden. A single site for all of them quickly turns vague. Separate entry points with their own examples and questions help each group find what matters to them.
Mention standards or explain them
Clients often know there are rules for play equipment but not what they mean for their site. A site that only says everything meets the standards answers nothing. Plain explanations of clearance space, fall height and surfacing, without legal promises, build far more trust with a buyer who has to justify the choice.

We build a site that groups equipment by play type and age, with pages on materials and space and an enquiry route asking about the site and user group. Before launch we try out an ordinary enquiry from a primary school together, and a council renewing an existing playground while keeping some of the old equipment. Worked example layouts with your own drawings and photos go up as soon as they are available, as does the manufacturer's product list.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan we show equipment from different manufacturers?
Yes. Each piece gets the same set of details whatever the manufacturer: age, play value, size, clearance zone, material and surfacing. Product data comes from the list you maintain. Visitors compare fairly, without noticing that items come from different sources.
How do we show the space a piece takes up?
With a plan per piece showing the equipment and the clearance zone drawn around it. Visitors see at once how many square metres a piece really occupies. For combinations, the designer later shows in the quote where zones may touch and where they may not.
Should prices be on the site?
For homeowners and small pieces, a starting price can help. For councils and schools, surfacing, groundwork and the combination of equipment drive the price far more than the item itself. There, explaining what determines the price works better than an amount per product.
Can children or residents have a say through the site?
A simple voting page where children or residents choose from a few example pieces is possible. The result goes to the client, not automatically into the design. The site supports consultation without tying the designer to a vote.
