• Structural stability: four robust posts and chain connections maintain stability during use even with a maximum number of 5 children simultaneously
• Certified safety: EN 1176 compliance ensures respect for European safety requirements for playground equipment; the fall height limited to 18 cm reduces the risk of injury
• Material durability: pressure-treated Nordic pine with non-toxic salts resists atmospheric agents and prolonged wear, reducing the need for frequent maintenance
• Installation flexibility: availability of two fixing options (in-ground or surface-mount) allows adaptation to different outdoor space configurations
• Absence of toxicity: use of non-toxic salts in the pressure-treatment process guarantees safety for children even in case of prolonged contact
• Maintainability: standardized components in galvanized steel and self-locking nuts with nut caps facilitate periodic inspections and replacement of parts subject to wear

The suspension bridge is intended for public parks, school playgrounds, residential green spaces, and recreational facilities where there is a desire to provide an element for motor activity and fun for children with developing coordination skills.

Given the fall height limited to 18 cm and the capacity for 5 simultaneous users, the product is appropriate for parks intended for children aged between 3 and 10 years, or for play areas where the bridge constitutes a passage element or motor challenge in equipment sequences.

The two fixing options make it suitable both for permanent installation on natural ground (with posts buried in the ground) and for existing paved surfaces (with surface-mount fixing), adapting to densely built urban contexts and less structured green spaces.

The glue-laminated wood suspension bridge is the correct choice when a play element compliant with European standards for safety in play areas is required, made with natural, non-toxic, and durable material.

Choosing this product is appropriate in contexts where installation flexibility is required (spaces with different paving constraints), where natural pressure-treated wood is preferred over synthetic solutions, and where it is necessary to guarantee maintainability over time through standardized galvanized steel components.

It is particularly suitable for public administrations, park managers, and recreational facilities that require documented regulatory compliance certification, as well as for contexts where the low fall height (18 cm) represents a priority safety requirement given the age group of the users.

What is the difference between in-ground fixing and surface-mount fixing?

In-ground fixing involves directly driving the posts into the natural ground, providing maximum stability on unpaved surfaces. Surface-mount fixing, on the other hand, allows installation on existing rigid surfaces (asphalt, concrete, tiles) without the need for excavation, making it more suitable for urban areas and already structured parks. Both options guarantee the same regulatory compliance.

How many children can use the bridge at the same time?

The bridge is designed for a maximum of 5 simultaneous users. This capacity has been dimensioned based on the structure with 4 posts and 9 joists, and is indicated in the technical data sheet compliant with EN 1176.

Is pressure-treated wood safe for children?

Yes. The Nordic pine is pressure-treated with non-toxic salts, containing no aromatic or carcinogenic substances. The treatment guarantees protection from atmospheric agents without compromising safety during prolonged contact with children’s skin. The product complies with European EN 1176 standards for playground equipment.

How is the wooden bridge maintained over time?

Pressure treatment with non-toxic salts offers long-lasting protection against rot, fungi, and climate variations. A periodic visual inspection of the galvanized steel hardware and nylon nut caps is recommended. In case of localized wear, the components are standardized and easily replaceable.

What does the fall height mean for the choice of safety surfacing?

The certified fall height is 18 cm. According to EN 1176, underlying protective surfaces (granular material, synthetic or natural shock-absorbing paving) must be dimensioned to attenuate impacts from this height. The playground designer must consult the EN 1177 tables to choose the correct thickness and type of shock-absorbing material based on this height.

Which regulations is the product certified under?

The bridge complies with the European standard EN 1176 (Playground equipment - Safety requirements and test methods), which establishes criteria for structural safety, solidity, stability, and entrapment prevention for fixed playground equipment. The certification guarantees that the product meets European safety standards for children’s play.
