Play Equipment for Parish Councils and Holiday Parks

We have noticed recently that our enquiries from local parish councils and holiday parks have increased significantly and the reason for this is that they are all searching for the same term or phrase on Google – that term is “play equipment made out of recycled plastic”.

As a company, we have long pioneered the concept of making products using this material as opposed to the more traditionally supplied timber or in some instances, metal. We started off selling tables and planters using recycled plastic but have since massively increased our range out to include trim trail play equipment, play towers, sandboxes, ball and water chutes, mud kitchens and a free-standing range of adventure trails. The reason why people are searching for this term – especially parish councils where the play area is open to the public – is that they want something which is going to last a long time and which will stand up to the rigours of public use. And this is where recycled plastic comes into its own as it typically lasts five times longer than timber and what’s more, it doesn’t rot or decay over time. And parish councils should also take into consideration that this equipment is very eco friendly as it is manufactured out of plastic waste which no longer has to go to landfill and is therefore very good for the environment.

It also stands up to vandalism better than timber and you don’t get the shakes or cracks which you do with timber either.

We always get asked as to whether it is more expensive than the alternatives – a difficult question to answer as a lot of the cost for the play equipment especially is within the delivery and installation costs which would be the same for whatever material you use. But from our own research, it is slightly more expensive but you have to factor in all of the afore-mentioned advantages listed above which in our book therefore make it excellent value for money.

We are also able to offer eco-friendly safer surfacing options as well if so required.

If you are therefore thinking of updating your playground or having a new one installed, then please do contact us as we would love to hear from you – our phone number is 01832 275902 and email: info@hideouthouse.com
