Woodplay Playsets GroundscapeStep2 ProductsUltra PlayGoalrilla

Safety First
The primary reason that All Play carries Woodplay® playsets is that safety is their first and last concern. Their engineers safety-check each set to make sure it meets their demanding standards. Decks are securely fastened to frames for extra stability.

Each timber is planed twice and edges are rounded and hand-sanded to protect little hands. Woodplay even Plastisol-coats the galvanized swing chains so they won't pinch hands. And Woodplay playsets are finished with a specially formulated non-toxic Stain/Sealant that protects both your investment, and your little ones' health.

Woodplay's angled safety ladders allow young children to safely reach the upper levels of the sets and the non-slip Flat Steel Safety Rungs eliminate the dangers of slippery round rungs.

        


Over-Engineered
Woodplay has always been the leader in developing innovative redwood playsets for families. Many of their design features like the Angle Base playset and Notched Angle Braces have gone on to become industry standards. Three decades of playset design and manufacturing delivers a wealth of experience for you. Woodplay puts that experience to good use by continually enhancing their design and safety features. This commitment to innovation is seen today in Woodplay exclusive features that no other manufacturer offers, like their Non-Slip Flat Steel Safety Rungs and Adjustable A-Frame Construction. Woodplay uses only the finest materials to manufacture their sets, to ensure they can withstand years of rambunctious play. Heavy 4" x 4" and 4" x 6" timbers for frame and safety rails and 2" x 6" deck timbers are all Premium Grade Redwood Lumber. All Woodplay structural and ground-contact components (unlike pressure-treated lumber) are decay and insect resistant throughout the lumber, not just on the surface. Only heavy-duty, large-diameter galvanized hardware is used for superior strength and rust protection - not the small-diameter, zinc-coated hardware of some manufacturers. Woodplay even uses engineer-proven 3-way interlocking lag bolt construction, resulting in more rigid joints and a stronger structure than ordinary 2-way carriage bolt connections. By using only the best materials, Woodplay is able to offer the BEST WARRANTY IN THE INDUSTRY - just one more reason you won't find a better quality playset on the market.

Woodplay and the Environment
Woodplay uses New Growth Coastal Redwood, a naturally beautiful, insect and decay resistant, construction-friendly lumber that reflects their commitment to the environment. No dangerous chemical preservatives are needed to pressure-treat the wood, and it's one of the fastest growing woods in North America, making it an easily renewable resource. Ambitious reforestation programs plant five new trees for every one harvested, and all on their suppliers' own land.

Playground Safety Tips:

Remember it is all about SAFE FUN

  • Supervise: 40% of playground accidents are a result of inadequate adult supervision. Look for hazards, watch children playing, and assist if an injury occurs.

  • Age-Appropriate Equipment: Equipment for children age 5 and up is not suitable for younger children. Be aware of your child's abilities.

  • Free of Hazards: Make sure your play area (public or private) is free of obstacles like toys or trash. Plan enough space for swings. Don't get too close to landscaping.

  • Examine your playset: Check your playset every few months to ensure that hardware is secure and surfaces are smooth. Openings should be less than 3.5", or greater than 9", to avoid potential entrapment.

  • Falls are cushioned: Falling to the ground accounts for almost 70% of playground injuries. Make sure you have the proper surfacing materials at the proper depth to cushion falls.

  • Understand the Rules: Review your safety rules and good playground behavior with your children. Have them alert you to other children that are playing in an unsafe or dangerous manner.

  • Never wear a hooded shirt: Hooded sweatshirts or shirts with strings are extremely dangerous around playsets. Be especially careful when dressing your children in cooler weather to avoid clothes that make pose a strangulation risk.

Playset Safety Inspection

A few weeks after installation, at the beginning of each usage season, and every two weeks during the season, we recommend that you perform a safety inspection. This inspection should include:

  1. Check all nuts and bolts and tighten as needed.

  2. Inspect all swing hangers for wear and tightening if needed.

  3. Inspect all plastic, rope, and wood components for wear or damage.

  4. Replace any damaged components immediately. Contact All Play for replacements.
