Garden Play Brochure

Caledonia Play is a family run, independent company established in 1999, which serves customers throughout the UK from its base in central Scotland. The company combines many years of experience in the timber industry with an excellent knowledge of how children can play.

The philosophy underpinning the company is that children have the right to play in a safe but natural environment that can also be physically challenging and mentally stimulating.

As part of our commitment to the environment, all timbers are from sustainably-managed forests. We use machine-rounded, dense, Northern European softwoods that have been pressure-treated and waxed for durability.

Creating wonderful childhood memories

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 gives a free-standing stability.

All the fixing bolts are recessed into the timber to prevent clothes snagging. Our swing frames sit on grass and do not need to be concreted in. As time passes, the legs of the swing frames bed into the ground, ensuring that the product remains firm and stable.

The top poles will withstand the most active and energetic children and all will support an adult’s weight.

Ground anchors are provided with the Single Swing Frame for extra stability. They are not required for any other swing frame.

Single Swing Frame

Code SFA

Size 2.00 x 2.50 x 2.60m

A simple but solid swing frame from which to hang any of our swing seats. Includes ground anchors.

The closed swing pivots suit any combination of our varied choice of swing seat accessories, and these can be easily interchanged.

Swing seats are not included with our standard swing frames. This enables you to choose your own to suit the size and age of the children.

For our full selection of swing seats turn to page 28.

What is an Extension?

This is when our swing frames have the top pole extended so that it protrudes from the side of the swing frame. There is then space to hang an extra swing seat.

Only swing seats which attach to a single swing point can go onto extensions. For our full selection of swing seats and accessories turn to page 28.

MagPost

This is a scientific quality five times magnifying glass on a hardwood post. Children can find objects in nature, such as flowers and leaves, pop them under the glass, and examine them in fine detail.

This product is robust, weatherproof, and is concreted into the ground as a permanent outdoor feature.

Grass Safety Mats

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 mats at strategic points under or around the equipment. The grass grows through them and can be cut as normal keeping the natural look of the garden.

The mats are made of heavy duty recycled rubber, are flexible, wheelchair-friendly, and able to be laid on contoured surfaces with the large holes offering sufficient drainage.

Each site is unique and will involve site visits and specialised drawings and, as such, the final costs of the project will vary considerably.

Get in touch with us on 01577 840570 to discuss ideas.

Product Sizes

All product sizes are width x depth x height.

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.

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 sustainably-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.

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 are dug into the grass and bolted onto the frame, allowing them to be easily removed if required. On sloping ground, it can also be beneficial to sink the legs into the earth to find a good level, this can be carried out with a garden spade.

Assembly

Caledonia Play’s modular, add-on designs 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 offer an assembly service in many parts of the country. The cost of this service varies on distance, time and product.

If you would like us to quote a price for this service, please call the office on 01577 840570.

Product Warranty

All swing frames and climbing frames are sold with a one year warranty. There is also a one year guarantee against manufacturing faults. For the timbers used to construct our frames and towers there is an extended warranty of seven years against rotting and damage by insects. Our swing seats, and other accessories that we do not make ourselves, come with their own manufacturer’s two year guarantee. Proof of purchase must be provided by the customer.

Delivery

We deliver to mainland UK addresses.

Most of our deliveries are sent by a nationwide courier company. They operate a three day service, Monday to Friday. Because we use a third party for most of our deliveries, we cannot guarantee delivery on a specific date. However, for an additional charge, we may be able to organise an overnight/next day delivery or a specific day delivery. Please call the office to see if this will be possible.

We also use Royal Mail Parcel Force for smaller deliveries, and for our larger structures, we have our own in-house delivery team.

Special Safety Features

All products supplied by Caledonia Play conform to European Safety Standard EN71 and can carry the CE mark. The following safety features are incorporated in our products:

All swing ropes are 12mm thick.

Swing frames are tested up to 200kg.

All swing pivot points are closed, with a D shackle and a locking nut.

All swing pivot points are bolted though the swing pole with double locking nuts. All metal fixings are recessed into the timber.

A-frame support legs are machined timber to 100mm in diameter.

Top swing poles are machined timber to 120mm in diameter.

A-frame supports can be adjusted to suit uneven ground.

All ladders and climbing frames have safety bushes between the rungs and stringers to prevent clothing being caught.

Ladder steps are 225mm apart to prevent children being caught in a fall.

Diagonal braces have 4 fixing bolts - restricting movement of the swing frames. All fixing bolts are either 13mm or 17mm to gain strength and rigidity. All timbers are spaced and positioned in accordance with EC regulations to prevent body parts from getting stuck. The timbers are positioned more than 20mm but not more than 100mm apart, preventing trap points for fingers and ensuring that heads cannot fit in restricted spaces.
