Swing Frames
Our beautiful swing frames are available in a range of widths to suit your garden size. The strong, robust designs are constructed with 10cm diameter legs, 12cm top poles and the 2.5m leg span giving a freestanding stability. All the fixing bolts are recessed into the timber so ensuring the timber surface is smooth. All our swings sit on grass and are not concreted in. As time passes - the legs of the swing frames settle into the ground assuring that the product is firm and stable. To ensure extra stability ground anchors can be used although these should only be required to be used on a Single Swing Frame, or under circumstances where very rigorous swinging was likely. The top poles will withstand the most active and energetic children and all will support an adult’s weight.

Grass Safety Mats Safety Surfacing We recommend that our play equipment is placed on grass, not a hard surface and that there is a clearance of approximately 1.5m around the structure and 2.0m behind swings. Play equipment in the garden does not require special safety surfacing if on grass. To prevent ground erosion or to provide a more giving surface simply lay our Grass Safety Mats at strategic points under or around the equipment. The grass grows through the mats and can be cut as normal requiring minimum maintenance and keeping the natural look of the garden. Many of the pictures in this brochure show installations with mats in place.
Grass Safety Mats Code PSM Size: 1.50 x 1.00m Our grass saftey mats are ideal for creating a safe path to walk on in any garden.

Information Product sizes All product sizes are width x depth x height. Installation We are able to install our equipment nationwide. The cost of this service varies on distance, time and product. If you would like us to quote you a price for this service, please call the office on 01577 840570.
Product Warranty All products are sold with a one year guarantee. There is also a one year guarantee against manufacturing faults. There is an extended guarantee of five years against rotting timber and damage by insects. Proof of purchase must be provided by the customer.
Timber Care All play equipment has been pressure treated and impregnated with wax to protect against the seasons, so there should be no requirement to further treat the wood. Wood ages and naturally turns grey in colour. If you wish to ‘refresh’ the wood Danish or Teak Oil can be used. Play equipment should be regularly checked for splinters and sanded down when necessary. Ground Anchors Concrete is not required for our garden range, however, where ground is uneven or sloping, ground anchors can be used to secure the structure. These corkscrew into the grass and are bolted onto the frame, allowing them to be easily removed if required. On sloping ground, it can also be beneficial to sink legs of a structure into the earth to find a good level, this can be carried out with a garden spade. Equipment Quality Our garden play equipment is designed to be sturdy and versatile to ensure long life, while maintaining the natural beauty and character of solid wood, blending into all types of gardens. All products comply with European Safety standards. All wood is supplied from sustainable managed woodlands, and after careful selection the timber is machined to shape, then pressure treated and waxed ensuring a long and durable life. We use the highest quality fixtures and fittings. Assembly Caledonia Play’s modular, add-on design and interchangeable swing accessories allow our play structures to grow with your children. All play structures are delivered unassembled with assembly instructions and illustrations to assist you. We would advise that equipment is assembled by a minimum of 2 adults. We do offer an assembly service and are happy to quote for this.
