In addition to choosing the type of equipment and activities that will best meet the needs of your children, you should also consider
the materials used to build the structure. The location, life expectancy and intended use will factor in to the decision as well.

The most common is a “clamp and deck” configuration made of power-coated steel. Steel is very strong, economical, durable and requires little maintenance. Available in a variety of configurations to meet almost any budget and age group. |
Your typical playstructure uses concrete footings to secure the structural uprights that support the system. This is the most secure method of installation and is virtually vandal-proof. Structures can be removed and re-installed, however the cost is higher than a surface-mounted piece. We recommend these types of structures for high-traffic sites, particularly when older children have access to the Playground. |

Did you ever wonder where all those plastic bottles and milk jugs you recycle end up? At Kaplan, we use them to build fun and interactive play systems! The 100% recycled plastic lumber keeps our planet healthy and it is a superior material. Our plastic lumber does not rot, split, splinter or rust. These play systems last so long that our children's children can enjoy them! Plastic lumber does not contain harsh chemicals like pressure-treated wood and never needs painting or sanding. Plastic lumber even dries faster for quicker use after rain. In short, our 100% recycled plastic lumber is the best choice for safety and longevity. |
Is your center in a temporary situation? Uncertain about where you will be located six months from now? Not to worry, we have the solution! Our surface mounted systems can be re-located without damaging the equipment--or your wallet! Surface-Mounted systems rest on top of the ground or safe surface and can be anchored if required. Typically this is done using stakes that are driven into the substrate or by bolting the structure onto a concrete pad. Either method will secure the structure for worry-free use and still allow the unit to be moved to a new location if the need arises. |
