Elements of the construction of the playground are made from four basic materials: wood, steel as well as reinforced plastic and pvc. At the same time, some elements can be made of a thick rope..
Tree in the playground
Wooden elements in the playground located in the garden must be impregnated with a protective agent. The most commonly used bars and boards are made of pine or spruce., less often from larch. The material, as you already understood, must be processed. Often the edges of the elements are rounded.
In addition to solid wood, waterproof plywood can be used., but in that case, it needs to be covered with four layers of paint with penetrating properties, especially surfaces that are subject to rapid wear.
Attention! Instead of impregnation with chemicals, you can use material protected by oil impregnation. Besides, wooden elements should not have direct contact with wet ground.
Steel
Steel on playgroundsin the form of a closed profile and a pipe. The material is usually protected by hot-dip galvanizing and varnished., acrylic or polyurethane paint. Elements subject to abrasion, for example, the legs of steps on a hill, made of chrome plated stainless steel 2 mm.
moving parts, such as chains, can be made of galvanized links and protected by plastic sheaths, e.g. durable polyurethane. You can buy a ready-made children's town here http://ekb.broksteel.ru/detskie_gorodki/ .
reinforced plastic
Reinforced plastic is used for the manufacture of children's slides, canopies, sites, benches and slides.
PVC
PPVC used in playgrounds is resistant to UV radiation and frost. Canopies are made from it, sandboxes, elements that are not load-bearing, i.e. walls, pipes as well as slides with a diameter of about 60-70 cm and approximate wall thickness 12 mm. A tube slide can have even more 4 meters in length.
Wing
As a rule, ordinary thick ropes are used on the playground., but if the device is used heavily by several children, then you can buy ready-made stranded ropes with a thickness 16 mm, with steel core. To create a mesh from reinforced ropes, plastic connectors made of fracture-resistant material are used.
On playgrounds, structures with a grid with large cells are mainly used.. They hang her like this, so that children can climb on it.
