A) Choose a playstructure as you see it in our catalog
B) Change a few things around to meet your unique needs.

You can customize by:

Change the colors
Add a roof
Pick a different slide- it's all up to you!

C) Totally customize a playstructure by starting from scratch to create a truly one-of-a-kind play unit.

This is one of the most important decisions you'll make. The various surfacing options affect both the cost and your site's ADA compliance.

Accessible Surfacing - PlayDesigns offers Cushion Play® recycled rubber safety surfacing that is highly durable and Earth-friendly. Cushion Play® meets both CPSC safety standards and ADA accessibility guidelines.
Playground Surround - If you choose loose fill (such as wood chips) to surround an accessible path, you'll want to contain it to avoid constant upkeep. PlayDesigns' affordable, easy-to-install Border Timbers will help you meet that goal.
