About Active Outdoor Toys

The Finest range of Wooden Play Equipment in the UK

The Outdoor Toys range is an imaginative range of play centres, each designed to provide complete solutions at sensible prices.  The design criteria includes flexibility, safety and above all, social activity, challenge and fun for all ages of children.  Some models incorporate staircases specially designed for small legs; the Gate Lodge will still be in use when your children reach university age!

The products are designed to be complete, right down to swingseats, without complicated tables of modules and "optional extras" that turn out to be essential.  At the same time, there is an intelligent range of complimentary options that provide extra play value and can be added either at the time of the initial build or later as your children grow.

Selected top grade pine from forests approved and managed under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Scheme (PEFC) is used with as few man made materials as possible.  The seasoned timber is machined, planed smooth with rounded edges and finished to within 1mm tolerances.  All fixing holes and nut recesses are drilled, then the timber is pressure treated using a non-toxic chromium/cadmium/arsenic free solution approved for children's playground equipment.

Safety is at the heart of the design specification, with substantial timber sections used for the frames (70mm x 70mm) and swing arm (70mm x 90mm), and strong railings around the platforms.  Every model combines a minimum of a heavy-duty green wavy slide, substantial climbing frame and play platform, and swings (as appropriate) with wooden seats.  Wooden roofs, commando net, clatterbridges, wooden tunnels and assault courses are fitted as described for the various models.  Included are all the necessary fittings (galvanised or stainless steel), fasteners, ropes, a detailed set of assembly instructions and even a drill bit for preparing screw holes.  The galvanised swing hangers have low-noise nylon bearings, and bolt through the swing arm beam.  Stability is provided by both the design and utilizing Spiralok ground anchors with easy-drive fitting.

Most of the Play Centres allow you to arrange the components in more than one configuration.

All timber sections are guaranteed against rot and insect infestation for 10 years.  All ropes, accessories, slides and faulty workmanship are guaranteed for 1 year, subject to correct installation and normal use.
