Contact us to discuss your school playground requirements.

How much does School Playground Equipment Cost?

The average cost of school playground equipment is £2,000 to £10,000, although the price can be higher for larger installations and complete playground developments.

A smaller installation with one or two pieces of equipment will generally cost less than a new play area incorporating climbing equipment, trails, surfacing and several different activities.

Prices are mainly affected by the equipment selected, size of the playground, groundworks, surfacing and installation requirements.

If you have a particular budget available, let us know. We can look at what equipment and playground improvements can realistically be achieved within it.

What School Playground Equipment do we Supply?

We supply playground equipment for a range of ages and types of play.

This includes:

• Climbing frames

• Adventure trails
• Balance equipment
• Play towers
• Playhouses
• Seesaws and rockers
• Roundabouts and spinners
• Rope play equipment

Equipment can be installed individually to improve an existing playground or combined as part of a complete new play area.

School Climbing Frames

We supply and install climbing frames for schools, with options ranging from smaller low-level equipment to larger multi-play structures.

Climbing frames can incorporate nets, ropes, platforms, slides, bridges and other activities within one unit.

Before recommending equipment, we consider the age of the pupils, available space and how many children are likely to use the play area.

School Trim Trails and Adventure Trails

Trim trails and adventure trails are popular with schools because several activities can be incorporated across an existing outdoor space.

A trail might contain stepping posts, balance beams, rope bridges, climbing nets, traverse walls and other obstacles.

There is no fixed layout. The number of activities and overall length can be adjusted to suit the space and budget available.

Inclusive and Sensory Playground Equipment

Inclusive and sensory equipment can be incorporated into a new playground or added to an existing play area.

We can supply options such as basket swings, sensory panels, musical equipment, accessible activities and ground-level play features.

Rather than creating a completely separate area, inclusive equipment can be considered as part of the wider playground design so children have access to a greater choice of activities.

Playground Equipment for Primary Schools

We install playground equipment for primary schools looking to improve outdoor play provision.

Depending on the space available, a primary school playground could include climbing equipment, trim trails, play towers, swings, sensory activities, imaginative play features and sports equipment.

We can also work around existing equipment if only part of the playground is being refurbished.

If you have a particular area that is currently unused or needs improving, contact us with the approximate dimensions and we can discuss what could be installed.

Playground Equipment for Nurseries and EYFS

Nursery and EYFS playground equipment is generally lower level and designed around younger children’s play.

Options include smaller climbing units, playhouses, balance equipment, sensory panels and imaginative play features.

The equipment can be selected around the size of the outdoor area and the ages of the children using it.

Bespoke School Playground Equipment

Not every school needs the same playground package.

We can put together a playground based on the school’s available space, pupil ages, existing equipment and budget.

For some schools, this might mean installing a new climbing frame or trim trail. For others, the work could involve a larger playground development with several play areas, new surfacing and a mixture of equipment.

If you already have ideas or drawings for the playground, these can be considered as part of the design.

School Playground Design

We can help plan the playground before equipment is ordered.

This includes looking at the available area, positioning of equipment, access, existing features and the different activities you want to provide.

A good layout can also make better use of awkward or previously unused areas of a school playground.

Where new surfacing is required, this can be planned alongside the equipment rather than treated as a separate project afterwards.

School Playground Equipment Installation

We provide installation as part of our school playground equipment service in Corby.

Once the equipment and layout have been agreed, any necessary site preparation can be completed before the equipment is installed.

For larger projects, this may involve:

1. Site preparation and groundworks
2. Installation of playground equipment
3. Installation of safety surfacing where required
4. Finishing works to the surrounding play area

Smaller installations may require considerably less work.

We can discuss access and installation times when planning the project, particularly where work needs to take place during school holidays.

Playground Equipment and Safety Surfacing

Safety surfacing can be installed alongside new school playground equipment where required.

Available surfaces can include wetpour, rubber mulch, artificial grass systems and other suitable playground surfaces.

The right option will depend on the equipment being installed, the existing ground and the requirements of the play area.

If the playground already has surfacing in place, its condition can be considered when planning the new installation.

Can you Refurbish an Existing School Playground?

Yes. You do not necessarily need to replace the entire playground.

Existing play areas can often be improved by adding new equipment, replacing older items, changing the layout or installing new surfacing.

We can work around equipment that is being retained and focus the available budget on the areas that need the most improvement.

This can be a practical option for schools that want to develop their playground in stages rather than completing everything at once.

What Safety Standards Apply to School Playground Equipment?

School playground equipment in the UK is commonly designed and installed with reference to BS EN 1176, while BS EN 1177 covers impact-attenuating playground surfacing.

The requirements for an individual playground will depend on the equipment, layout and surfacing being installed.

Safety should therefore be considered during the design stage rather than after the playground equipment has been selected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Most Popular Playground Equipment for Schools?

Climbing frames, trim trails, adventure trails, swings and slides are all popular choices for school playgrounds.

The right equipment depends on the age of the pupils, available space and what is already installed.

Can you Install Playground Equipment During the School Holidays?

Yes, school holidays can be a good time to carry out playground installations because there are fewer pupils on site.

If you need the work completed during a particular holiday period, we recommend planning the project in advance.

Does School Playground Equipment Need Safety Surfacing?

Some playground equipment will require appropriate impact-attenuating surfacing depending on the equipment and its fall height.

The surfacing requirements should be considered when designing the playground.

Can you Add Equipment to an Existing Playground?

Yes. New equipment can be added to many existing school playgrounds without replacing the entire play area.

We can look at the available space and existing layout to determine suitable options.

Can you Provide Playground Equipment for Different Age Groups?

Yes. Equipment can be selected for nursery, EYFS, primary and older school pupils.

Where several age groups use the same outdoor area, different activities can be incorporated into the playground.

Can you Work to a School’s Budget?

Yes. If you have a set budget, we can discuss which equipment and improvements are achievable within it.

This can include prioritising particular areas or completing the playground development in stages.
