Frequently asked questions and answers about outdoor and indoor playground equipment
This is my first time dealing with the subject of playgrounds. What is the quickest way to get an offer that meets my requirements?
Our specialist consultants and trading partners will be happy to help you choose the right playground equipment. To begin with, an appointment should take place at your site, during which the area to be built on will be inspected and measured. The requirements for the playground equipment are also queried and the first products are suggested. Once the selection of play equipment has been determined, your supervisor will send the information to us at the factory. Within a few days you will receive a tailor-made offer including a floor plan of your new playground and detailed information on each product. This consultation and offer process is of course non-binding and without any obligation for you.
Which wood is used for outdoor playground equipment
Different types of wood are used for our playground equipment, depending on the installation situation and requirements: pine kdi, larch, robinia, oak, fir, ash. The classic woods are supplemented with panel materials made of glued wood or HPL or HDPE panels. Steel and stainless steel are also processed for individual components.
What do you have to look out for when buying playground equipment?
With us, you will be assisted in the selection and planning by our respective specialist consultants on site: The top priority is the play value for the respective user group. Attention is paid to whether the devices fit the respective terrain, whether the age group fits, or what fall protection is required. Make sure that the devices are certified according to EN 1176. Personal advice and the long-term supply of spare parts are particularly appreciated by our customers.
Outdoor playground equipment made of wood or metal?
Depending on the play function, component, desired aesthetics or installation location, there are different advantages and disadvantages. In natural playgrounds, wood is obviously preferred. A heavily loaded beam over a group swing can be made of metal. Otherwise, the haptic perception is z. B. on climbing equipment, even in cold or wet seasons, to evaluate wood positively.
The pressure impregnation protects the wood permanently against insects, fungi and mildew. For this purpose, a well-fixing, chromium-free impregnating agent with salts and active ingredients that are harmless for playground equipment is introduced in a 5-stage vacuum pressure process, whereby, for example, the sapwood of the pine can also be used for constant contact with the ground and water.
A professional installation in compliance with the required safety clearances and the prescribed impact-absorbing fall protection is essential for the safety of children. Complete assembly by an assembly team from OBRA, assembly by the customer's specialists or an experienced assembly partner comes into question. A suitable hoist is used for large equipment. A wide variety of equipment is also required for excavating the foundations or installing fall protection.
Yes and no: TÜV certification is not mandatory, but the applicable standard EN 1176 must be complied with. For the customer, the TÜV test has the advantage that the safety of the device is determined by an independent institution. The certificates can be downloaded from the respective playground equipment!
According to EN 1176, playground operators are required to carry out regular visual inspections: daily or at least weekly. In addition, as a manufacturer, we can offer both the annual main inspection in accordance with EN1176 and an operational inspection (every 1 to 3 months) or refer them to reliable partners.
All types of soil used in playgrounds have advantages and disadvantages and offer different design options. A comparison of costs in relation to the useful life is recommended. In the case of loose fall protection materials, the layer thickness must be increased by 100mm in the appropriate places (where there is a lot of movement or great heights of fall) due to the play-away effect. It should also be taken into account that sand and gravel, for example, can be "tolerated" in other areas or, for example, the accessibility with prams or wheelchairs can be important.

Pressure-impregnated pine, achieves a long service life if the structural wood protection (e.g. elevation) is taken into account. However, if spare parts are needed, we can provide them quickly and precisely. If you want an adventurous or enchanted look, the robinia, with its crooked growth and variable, mostly non-circular cross-sections, is the right choice. Especially when the natural habit of the robinia supports the play value of the equipment. If untreated wood is desired, but the advantages of a modular system should still be used, then natural larch is ideal.
If the playground is "freely accessible", the operator assumes the obligation to ensure the safety and maintenance of the equipment and floors at the playground with the construction of a playground: This begins with the selection of a well-known manufacturer of playground equipment. Furthermore, an acceptance test or installation acceptance may be necessary. Lt. According to EN 1176-7, the following 3 types of inspection are provided: a visual inspection (every 1-7 days), an operational inspection (every 1-3 months) with checking of the function, stability and state of wear as well as an annual main inspection. All checks are to be documented. Appropriate signs for playgrounds must also be set up.
