Playground Equipment

Playground equipment is the foundation of any outdoor play space, supporting child development, physical activity, social interaction and inclusion. As playground equipment suppliers, we supply and install a wide range of outdoor playground equipment for schools, SEN settings, councils and community sites, including multiplay units, swings, trim trails, climbing frames, playground equipment slides, spinning and sensory items. Choosing the right mix is led by age, space and use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of playground equipment does Caloo supply?

We supply a broad range of playground equipment, including SEN and inclusive play equipment, climbing equipment, trim trail, imaginative play, swings, slides, roundabouts and spinners, springers, seesaws, inground trampolines, play panels and sensory playground equipment. Both natural playground equipment and steel options are available to suit aesthetics and budget.

Do I need to know exactly the type of equipment I want before contacting Caloo?

No - most clients start with a budget, a site and an age group, and we recommend a layout from there. A clear brief helps, but isn't essential.

Does Caloo install the playground equipment?

Yes, our in-house playground equipment installers fit every project we supply. Installation covers groundworks, equipment fitting, surfacing and a post-completion inspection.

What is the British standard for outdoor playground equipment?

BS EN 1176 covers playground equipment and BS EN 1177 covers impact-attenuating surfacing. All our equipment is manufactured, installed and inspected to these standards.

What playground equipment is best for older kids?

For 8+ and teen users we recommend taller playground climbing frames, monkey bars, basket swings, spinning items and trim trail equipment that challenges balance and strength. Mixed-height multiplay with rope nets, climbing walls and slides also works well.

What to include in a playground?

A balanced playground combines climbing, sliding, swinging, spinning, social and imaginative play (play panels and themed multiplay) and a quiet sensory or seating zone. The mix depends on age range, available space and accessibility requirements.

How much maintenance does playground equipment need?

Visual checks weekly, operational checks monthly and an annual RPII inspection are the standard requirement. Properly installed equipment needs only minor attention to fastenings and moving parts between inspections.

How long does it take to install playground equipment?

Most school and community installs take one to three weeks on site, subject to groundworks, surfacing and equipment volume. Larger or bespoke schemes typically run four to six weeks.
