5 Tips for Buying Your Next School Playground
Know you need a playground for your school, but don’t know where to start? We get it: most people don’t buy playgrounds every day. As experts in playground equipment for over two decades, here are the five things you need to do to get your project across the finish line:
- Get Clear on Budgeting. Many of our customers browse for playground equipment not knowing how much it’ll cost. Some people price out what they want, and then they request the budget from their organization. By coordinating with us, we’ll be able to put something together to meet budgets of any size.
- Measure Your Space Beforehand. The #1 question we get is: will it fit? To answer that question, you have to look at both the dimensions of the equipment and any perimeter around it. Our equipment shows the installed perimeter needed for each piece, and we’re around to answer any other questions.
- Look at What’s Popular Right Now. You’re buying your equipment to last, of course, but playground equipment is subject to trends, just like anything else. With our “What’s Popular” tab, you’ll be able to browse categories that might be of interest to your kids _and_ those who approve your budget.
- Figure Out Detailed Requirements. Do you need your playground to be ADA-compliant? Are there any special needs that you need to accommodate? Our trained staff can handle any need, no matter how complex.
- Plan for Borders & Surfacing. Well-designed, safe playgrounds have both. By ensuring that you have the right space & budget for each, your playground will be a joy to use for many years to come!
