Additional Product Information

Natural and Sustainable

Primarily a natural product, the main component, the pine logs, are locally farmed from UK forests in a managed sustainable process that ensures the forests are always replenished. The timber we use is between 20 and 25 years old, so by the time your play equipment is at the end of its life newly grown trees will be ready for your next play products. Sustainability continues with the natural rubber components used in Orchard; these are made from latex which is milked in a sustainable way that does not damage the trees. The whole range is manufactured in our environmentally-friendly factory, where our impact on the local surroundings is carefully monitored to ensure it is kept at a minimum. All Orchard posts are pressure treated against wet rot, dry rot, and insect infestation. This is only done after the posts have been cut and drilled to ensure that all exposed timber is fully treated. Orchard’s natural appearance also allows it to blend aesthetically into outdoor play spaces. We developed a unique joining system for the logs, made of rubber with a steel core which provides a strong connection. The system also spaces the logs slightly apart, which eliminates the possibility of fingers getting trapped between them.
