03/ 13Age zone first · then deck height

Slide Selection by Age ZoneDeck Height, Slide Form and Structure Position

The design office picks each slide from two inputs on your layout: the age zone the slide sits in and the height of the deck it starts from.

Your site is zoned for 2–5 years and 5–12 years, following the ASTM F1487 and CPSC age groups. A slide belongs to one zone, and that zone decides how high its start deck can be.

Barrier threshold · CPSC handbook

In 2–5 zones, slides run from lower decks. In 5–12 zones, they run from higher decks. Under the CPSC handbook, a deck above 30 in (762 mm) in a 2–5 zone, or above 48 in (1219 mm) in a 5–12 zone, needs a . A slide entry on such a deck sits in an opening in that barrier.

Spiral or tube slide

For the tallest decks on a 5–12 structure, spiral and tube slides take over. A spiral turns the height into a compact circle next to the structure. Bend sections let a tube slide turn around a post, run along the structure or head away from a path.

Straight from a high deck · exit far from the structure
Spiral or tube from the same deck · exit close

Structure position

Before a form is fixed, the designer checks where the slide's exit lands. A straight slide from a high deck runs long and ends far from the structure. A spiral or tube slide from the same deck can end close to it. On a tight site, that is often what decides the form.

Each slide appears on the layout with its structure number, start deck and form, plus a single-item plan and elevation showing the start deck height. Low-deck 2–5 structures are on preschool and daycare playground equipment.

Slide Exit and Use Zone DrawingExit Region, Use Zone and Clash Check on Your Layout

Every slide takes up ground past its own end, and that ground is drawn on your layout before the slide goes into the quotation.

The slide's exit height, its and the in front of the exit are drawn to the CPSC handbook values for that slide's height. For projects built to EN 1176, they are drawn to EN 1176.

A slide from a higher deck gets the larger zone its height calls for, and the zone moves with the slide's form and direction.

The clash check

After every piece on the site has its use zone and fall zone drawn, the design office checks them against each other: the zone in front of a slide exit against swing zones, spinner zones, neighboring structures, paths, fences and benches. When two zones overlap, the designer changes the drawing.

Slide Orientation and Sun ExposureNorth Arrow, Afternoon Sun and the Shade Layer

A slide's orientation is fixed on the drawing along with its position. Scroll the plan and the sun crosses it: the stainless slide that faces the afternoon sun is moved to the shaded side, or drawn under the shade layer.

  • North arrow on every layout

    Every site layout carries a north arrow, and each slide is drawn with its orientation. You can see which way the slide faces and which sides of the structure take the afternoon sun before anything is made.

  • Stainless steel slides

    A metal slide surface heats up in direct sun. Where the site allows, the design office places stainless slides out of direct afternoon sun, on the shaded side of the structure or facing away from the afternoon side. Where the layout doesn't allow that, the slide is drawn under the shade layer.

    Shade posts and frames come from our steel workshop in the same Ø114 mm galvanized, powder-coated system as the play structure, with footings on the same footing detail drawing. Sail fabric is partner-built. Options: playground shade structures.

  • Rotomolded slides

    LLDPE slides are UV-stabilized and colored through the wall, so a scratch shows the same color. Their orientation is drawn too, set together with the exit use zone and the paths around it.

  • When you change the drawing

    If your landscape architect moves a structure or rotates the site, the north arrow and slide orientation are redrawn in the revised layout, and the exit use zones are checked again.

What you get: a layout that shows each slide's direction against north and, where used, the shade layer over it. A parks department can use it to review sun exposure at approval, not after installation.

Slide Connections to the Play StructureEntry Bolts, Support Posts and Exit Foot

A slide meets the rest of the playground at three kinds of points. Each one is fixed with a named part and, where it reaches the ground, has its own footing on your footing detail drawing.

    Torque values for these bolts are marked on the assembly drawing. Security bits for the tamper-resistant heads ship in the spare hardware kit.

    Intermediate support posts

    Posts are set in concrete by default, with anchor-bolt base plates as an option, both per that drawing. Tube slide sections are joined at their flanges, and their support posts are drawn along the run.

Freestanding Slide UnitsLadder, Single Deck and Slide on Ø114 mm Posts

A freestanding slide unit puts a slide on a site without a full play structure: a park corner, a school yard with an existing structure, or a second slide next to one.

The unit is a ladder, a single deck and a slide, standing on Ø114 mm galvanized, powder-coated posts with a 3.0 mm wall, on the same post and deck system as our multi-deck structures.

The deck is plastisol-coated punched steel, and the slide is a rotomolded straight or wave slide or a stainless steel slide, fixed with 304 tamper-resistant fasteners.

Structure number · S4
A freestanding slide unit in a park corner: ladder, punched deck on evergreen posts and a grey straight slide

How it is drawn

The unit gets its own structure number on your layout, a deck height matched to its age zone, and its ladder approach, exit region and use zone drawn and clash-checked with the rest of the site.

How it stands

Every post of the unit, plus the slide's support posts and exit foot, is on the footing detail drawing with its footing size shown. The unit is pre-assembled in the factory with the other outdoor structures, then numbered and packed with its own part list.

Adding a unit to an older site

  • Existing structure from us

    The new unit is ordered to the same project file, so part numbers and colors follow the original.

  • From another supplier

What the design office draws

From your slope survey or section drawing, the slide is drawn along the bank with its top start point, its exit and the use zone in front of the exit, to the CPSC handbook values for that slide's height, or to EN 1176.

Top, bottom and intermediate support footings are drawn, each with its footing size on the footing detail drawing. The slide gets its orientation against the north arrow and is placed out of direct afternoon sun where the slope allows, or planned under shade.

Supplied with the slide

Slide sections, fixings and footing detail drawings come from us.
