Scramble Nets (Cargo Nets): Our nets are robustly constructed from rot resistant rope and can be any width or height required. An average size is 5 feet by 5 feet with the scramble net positioned vertically onto the side of a platform or verandah. The whole is completed with overhead hanging knotted ropes.

An exciting variation to this theme is to construct a horizontal frame (at platform height) and to suspend the cargo net between the frame (horizontally).

Another alternative is to hang a double length cargo net over a low play beam and secure the ends to ground level wooden beams at an angle of 45 degrees. This forms an exciting ‘up and over’ netting which again can be enhanced with overhead knotted ropes.

Monkey Bars: Our Monkey Bars vary in length, according to the space available; generally 7 feet is adequate. We normally construct 2 sets of Monkey bars at different heights, alongside each other (this enables children of varying ages to participate in the action). Both sets are reached by vertical ladders at either end and both sets can easily be varied in height by the removal and replacing of the locking bolts.

Climbing Wall: Our average climbing wall is from 4 feet to 8 feet wide and between 5 feet and 12 feet high. A selection of mis-shaped wooden blocks are bolted onto the wooden back board; these provide foot holds and hand holds for intrepid little Pirates. The climbing wall can be set at any angle but normally we construct it at a slight degree off the vertical. Overhead knotted ropes add to the excitement on this activity item

Rope Ladders: Our rope ladders can be hung from any platform or Tree House and provide exciting alternatives to standard access and exit routes. These ladders vary in length from 8 feet to 50 feet.

Secret Ladders and Secret Staircases: We generally construct these to provide access to a platform via a trap door or a hole in the floor or the wall.

Drawbridges: We construct these on a simple pulley system; normally these bridges are short and span a gap of no more than 4 or 5 feet; larger ones with full cranking wheels (across gulleys or moats) are easily constructed.

Rock Hurling Catapults: These extremely popular items are only suitable for very large gardens, owing to their immense length and the 24 oxen required to pull them into position.

Provisions Box: This is a simple but vital addition to the various play structures. A small wooden box is attached to a rope which hangs from an overhead pulley system. Food, drink and provisions are placed in the box which is then raised to the higher level.

Sand Pits: Our sand pits vary in size (according to space available); generally, a small sand pit will suffice, constructed part in ground and part out; a small seating edge around permits easier play and the whole has a removable light wooden cover.

Planting: Although we cannot classify ‘planting’ as an activity item or a play item, it is as much an integral part of the play areas as the play items themselves. As landscapers, we aim to blend each play structure into the surrounding scenery as much for the aesthetic viewing as for the benefit of the children’s enjoyment. Most projects require additional plants to those already in situ; we normally recommend large leaved evergreen shrubs, sometimes with a variety of exciting architectural plants such as Palms, Mimosas, Eucalypts, Bamboos, Grasses and Ferns. We also supply play bark chips around the play structures and the plants as well as automatic micro-irrigation systems.
