Frequently asked questions
Commercial playground equipment is typically larger and more robust than residential equipment. It is designed for public places such as local parks and schools, to accommodate many children simultaneously and to offer a broader range of play activities. Commercial playgrounds must also comply with the Australian safety standard AS 4685, and the materials used must be of high quality to withstand the harsh climate and years of constant use. Residential playgrounds, by contrast, are generally smaller and simpler in design, and are more suitable for a back garden than for public areas.
Commercial playground equipment is designed to withstand frequent use and Australia’s extreme weather conditions, so it must be made from high‑grade steel, durable plastics, and weather‑resistant coatings (coastal‑hardy materials). These materials cost more than those used in residential playgrounds, but they ensure the equipment endures frequent, long‑term use.
As a rule of thumb, choose a variety of play activities that provide both thrilling and calm options to provide something for everyone. Consider the age group, available space, inclusivity requirements, and desired play activities. For example, schools often focus on equipment for a set age range, whereas parks will provide equipment for all ages.
