Features and Benefits
Why do we use Robinia?
Built to last
Robinia wood has a number of unique properties. Robinia posts from NORNA PLAYGROUNDS consist only of core wood, which is the innermost part of the trunk.
Many types of wood have a limited lifetime upon contact with soil. This is where Robinia wood is different, it has a lifetime of up to 32 years upon contact with soil.
Robina wood is the preferred material because it: • Lasts a lifetime • Is resistant to rot • Has a low CO2 footprint – produced in plantations • Ranks high on pressure strength • Has a high resistance to ‘crushing’ pressure • Has a natural look
Did you know? A natural Robinia tree has its own natural defence which guards against rot. This means that toxic treatment can be avoided.

Features and Benefits
Steel feet on all our ARC range This range comes with steel feet, giving you a product that is long lasting. The steel feet holds the wood above the ground and assembles the playground equipment together as a whole. • Protects from rotting on contact with the ground. • Prevents the wood from getting damaged by grass cutting machines.

10 Introducing NORNA ARC
The origins of NORNA ARC
NORNA ARC play values
NORNA PLAYGROUNDS entered into a partnership with architect John Hansen, to develop a completely new series of playground equipment.
The NORNA ARC series of playground equipment has a high amount of play value and many variations of play. • There are always several ways for children to climb up, around, over and under things • You will see a large variation in the way children play on the equipment • The design ensures that the playground equipment offers play and motor skill challenges, and also encourages groups of children to stay on the equipment • Brilliant for imaginative and creative play for all ages
After several years spent designing and developing the series, the NORNA ARC range was born. The vision behind NORNA ARC playground equipment was: • To have a simple design that is elegant and strong • To be easy to install onto the surface • To create a detailed design aimed at providing many play values and varying levels of challenge • To incorporate many entry points so that it can be used by children of varying ages
