Consultation and Design Services

At KIDSAFE, we are always happy to talk with you about your project! Our independent status in the industry means that we can afford to give you unbiased information. We have hard earned, hands on experience building and designing with these products for many years (over 350 successful installations to date!) and we are happy to share what we’ve learned. We have built many manufacturers’ products and attend annual conferences to keep abreast of the newest developments.

Exploring questions like these may save you thousands of dollars as you make decisions on what to buy:

• Did you know that you can save 15% or more on your overall surfacing costs based on how your play area is designed?
• Did you know that a wood chip surface area with poor drainage can decrease the life expectancy of your safety surfacing, significantly adding to your long term costs?
• Are you aware that there are significant differences in playground systems that you would never guess by looking at a catalog picture?
• What are the pros and cons of recycled plastic, compared with powder coated steel? What about wood products?
• What about the different fastening systems currently being used? What are their benefits and drawbacks?
• Does my playground really need a $900 roof?
• Which manufacturer has the best engineered product that we have seen?
• Which manufacturer has consistent problems shipping a complete package resulting in expensive delays?
• Can your play system be relocated later? (Better find out if you think you might need to do this: some systems can move quite nicely, some types not at all.)

In short, what you don’t know can cost you and what we do know can save you! Many of these things will not be brought up in a conversation with a play equipment dealer who will only talk about their line of products. At KIDSAFE, our initial chats are free of charge. Our fee system would begin with a visit to your site.
