Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take to install playground equipment?

As a rule of thumb, playgrounds take roughly 3 months to install from start of the project until the final installations are set in place. We advise you to begin the planning process at least a month or two in advance of when your final deadline is. This will ensure that everything is delivered and handled on time since some of our playground elements are shipped from Europe. Larger playgrounds can naturally take longer – sometimes even around 6 months depending on the size of the site. This is also the case with custom design playgrounds, however, this is almost impossible to estimate upfront as it really comes down to the complexity of the playground. Naturally, we are committed to providing you with the shortest lead times, keeping a reasonable deadline, since we know how important it is to keep up with deadlines.

2. Do I need a permit to install commercial playground equipment?

Permits are needed for various tasks throughout the playground project, especially when considering commercial-grade playgrounds. Playgrounds are subjected to regulations and standards established by both national and state organizations. Our playground consultants will gladly guide you along the way, making you aware of any permits you need to receive to successfully carry out your playground project - so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

3. Are there any financing options or grants for playground equipment?

Finding a suitable financing option is one of the best way to create a stunning playground in your area. The good news is that there’s plenty of playground grants and funding options you can apply for – and that our experts are happy to help you with this process. From finding suitable funds to preparing for the application process, don’t hesitate to reach out to us as we have helped customers get millions in funding support for their playgrounds.

4. How long does it take for playground equipment to ship?

Some of our quick supply items can be shipped within a couple of weeks, but as a rule of thumb you should expect most our playground and outdoor gym equipment to be at your door within the span of a month. If you’re considering ordering a custom design playground, the process will naturally take longer as all items need to be produced with the specific requirements request and agreed upon.
