One of the most common doubts when creating a playground is choosing the material. After all, are wooden playgrounds really the best option for your needs?
In this post, our team of playground experts at Kaska will show you everything you need to know about the subject and help you decide whether wooden playgrounds are the best option.
Let's go?
Wooden Playgrounds: What are the advantages of using this model?
1 - Offers more fun due to its versatility:
Do you want to offer traditional toys but unique pieces for your wooden playground? That's entirely possible with wood material.
Being a very versatile product, wooden playgrounds can offer many toy possibilities, where your creativity can dictate which pieces should make up the playground.
In addition to the traditional slides, spinners and swings, you can also add your own:
- Cestão;
- Suspension bridge;
- Sandbox;
- Alpine hut.
2 - Contributes to child development:
With the help of wooden playgrounds, you can offer children a wide range of opportunities to move their bodies and develop their motor skills safely.
By inserting an Alpine Tarzan House from Kaska Playgrounds, for example, you encourage aspects of development such as:
- Muscle strengthening;
- Motor coordination;
- Balance;
- Understanding space relationships.
All these aspects help children to develop more healthily.
3 - Security:
One of the most important aspects when choosing a wooden playground is precisely the safety it offers the child.
The main advantages of using wood in playgrounds are:
Stability: Depending on the size of the children attending the playground and the type of play, the playground can become unstable, as is the case with plastic, which can shift. Wood, on the other hand, avoids this type of problem by offering a much more stable product.
It can handle high temperatures: When exposed to the sun, materials such as plastic and metal tend to reach high temperatures, creating a risk of burns for children. With wood, on the other hand, children are safe as it doesn't reach high temperatures, making it perfect for outdoors.
4 - Resistant material:
Wooden playgrounds are considered to be the most resistant and are therefore the most suitable when the goal is to create playgrounds in condominiums, clubs, schools or urban environments.
This is because it is a resistant material and, when properly maintained, it does not have an expiration date.
5 - Material maintenance:
Just like any other playground material, wooden models also need maintenance.
However, its advantage lies in the ease with which this process can be carried out, as it is a resistant, high-quality material. The wood used by Kaska Playgrounds is very well treated, offering longevity to the product.
Metal playgrounds, on the other hand, need to be maintained with the use of paints and preservatives, which can be harmful to children's health.
6 - 100% ecological:
Here at Kaska Playgrounds, we use reforested wood to make our playgrounds, i.e. renewable wood, which is harvested but can be replanted to replace previous wood.
In addition, it is a biodegradable material that decomposes naturally over time, avoiding any toxic residue in the environment.
7 - Visually more beautiful:
Finally, we can't fail to mention the attractive aesthetics that the wooden playground can offer.
Even with a multitude of materials emerging with the growth of technology, wood does not lose its charm, making the environment more attractive and maintaining a natural look.
How much does it cost to make wooden playgrounds?
The cost of wooden playgrounds can vary depending on the size you want to add, whether it's in a condominium, public space, club or other location.
In addition, another aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is the toys that will be included in the playground, for example:
- House of Tarzan and choose the format;
- High alpine hut;
- Simple activity center;
- Slide house;
- Balance sheet;
- Seesaw, etc.
Therefore, the toys that will be included also need to be taken into account when pricing the wooden playground.
What is the best wood for a playground?
Here at Kaska Playgrounds we create playgrounds out of treated eucalyptus wood, which is considered environmentally friendly and highly durable.
All suppliers are certified so that we can get our hands on the best products and offer the best playground.
Where can you put wooden playgrounds?
Because it's versatile and durable, the wooden playground can be used in a variety of places, even if it's an open space, i.e. one that receives sun and rain, since this type of material can offer all the benefits we mentioned earlier.
That's why you can add wooden playgrounds in:
- Condominiums;
- Schools;
- Clubs;
- Urban spaces.
In other words, you can add it in various places and get all the benefits of a small wooden children's playground.
