Equipment safety features 

Commercial playground equipment is subject to strict safety regulations and guidelines. KOMPAN adheres to BS EN 1176 regulations for playground equipment and fencing, ensuring safe play equipment and accessories for children of all ages. These measures include protective barriers, impact-absorbing surfacing, and age-appropriate play areas. Additionally, we prioritise the strategic zoning of play equipment and park benches during the planning process to facilitate social integration for children, while ensuring that parents can easily watch their kids and always be assured of their children's safety. 

Playground Inspection and Maintenance Services 

Commercial playground apparatuses require professional installation and regular inspections to ensure compliance with safety standards (BS EN 1176). KOMPAN provides a range of inspection and maintenance services to support playground equipment that has endured constant use, harsh UK weather conditions, and vandalism. Services we offer for play equipment include: 

• Playground parts and equipment replacement

• Playground safety inspections: Routine, operational, comprehensive

It is advisable to conduct regular inspections. However, you should consider whether your play area may require more frequent checks. For example, school playgrounds will need more inspections throughout the year due to wear and tear from school children. 

Durable materials for playground equipment 

KOMPAN designs and manufactures outdoor play equipment using a range of high-quality materials. Our thorough internal research has led us to select commercial-grade materials for our products. Built to withstand the harsh UK weather and heavy usage, our equipment also meets stringent safety standards. For enhanced durability and long-term performance, we use robust materials like Robinia wood, galvanised steel, durable plastics, TEMPERED COROCORD ROPES and weather-resistant coatings. We select only the finest materials to ensure minimal maintenance across various settings, including nurseries, schools, parks, holiday parks, shopping centres and restaurants.

Play equipment features & accessories 

KOMPAN integrates a variety of features and accessories into our playground equipment, allowing you to create a playground filled with diverse play activities. Our product range offers multiple ways to play, each designed with a specific purpose. For instance, sensory-focused playground equipment encourages children to engage their senses while developing essential cognitive skills such as memory, reasoning, and problem-solving. You can also find audio accessories, bouncing equipment, spin features and various other interactive components. 

Outdoor playground furniture  

To keep parents and children happy and engaged for longer periods, it is recommended to include areas where parents can relax while their children play. Additionally, providing a space where children can take a break and enjoy a refreshing drink or snack is a good idea. Therefore, creating a truly recreational outdoor activity space should involve outdoor furniture, picnic tables, benches, shading, and meeting points. 

Playground signs 

Using KOMPAN’s sign concept, you can customise signs to include practical information or instructions about playground use, opening hours, ideal user/age groups, sponsors, contact information and more. 

Outdoor play equipment for small spaces

Maximise fun, even in the smallest of spaces! Our outdoor play equipment is designed to fit compact areas without compromising on excitement or safety. Perfect for urban settings, schools, or any place where space is limited, our innovative solutions ensure children can play, explore, and stay active.
