Slide Platform 1800

The Slide Platform 1800 is a great way to incorporate a slide into your senior adventure playground area.

Play Value

The triangular shape of the slide platform shape allows for three routes of access and egress. One side is a slide (choose plastic or stainless steel), one side has angled notched logs and one side has a post and rope climber. The Slide Platform 1800 can be functionally linked with other Post and Rope elements, Log Piles or Log Jams (where available) or can be a stand-alone playground structure. When not functionally linked to other pieces, bog stilt stepping forms are added to the post and rope access route to give additional foot support.

Options:

• Add shade sail over slide
• Change notched log to a fire pole
• Add a Post and rope extension
• Add bog stilt steppers

Merits

Children love slides. The Slide Platform 1800 is a great cost-effective option to include a slide in a natural playground. Children enjoy the experience of height to survey the playscape and the challenging access routes. The Slide Platform challenges balance and climbing skills and compliments other natural wood playground structures.

Children can play alone or with others; the platform is large enough to hold several children who may imagine themselves on the bow of a ship or perched in a treehouse!

Materials

The Slide Platform 1800 is built with hand-processed Robinia pseudoacadia logs sourced from Ontario and the Northeastern United States. Logs have a minimum diameter of 6 inches and anti-crack bolts are added to the ends of each log to reduce cracking. The slide deck platform is made of Accoya. Robinia posts are all processed and hand sanded. The wood texture is a pleasant sensory experience. As a poor conductor of heat, the wood never feels too hot or too cold to bare skin. There is an option to choose either a plastic or stainless steel slide.

Accessibility

The Slide Platform 1800 is not accessible.
