1.ACQ Pressure-Treated Wood:
we use ACQ-treated wood. Both CCA and ACQ are pressure-treated woods commonly used in outdoor playground equipment, wooden swing sets, and wooden playground structures. However, there are fundamental differences between the two in terms of composition, safety, market acceptance, and cost. CCA offers strong preservative performance and a lower cost, but it contains arsenic and has been restricted for use in children’s and residential applications. ACQ is arsenic-free, more environmentally friendly, and is the mainstream choice for children’s playground equipment in the European and North American markets.
2.Wooden Playground Equipment Manufacturing Processes:
2.1 Raw Wood Selection
Carefully selected raw wood with a stable structure is used, undergoing strict inspection to eliminate materials with cracks, insect damage, excessive knots, or improper moisture content, ensuring excellent structural strength, durability, and safety for outdoor playground use.
2.2 Kiln Drying
Kiln drying is applied to precisely control moisture content and enhance dimensional stability, effectively minimizing the risk of cracking, warping, and deformation under long-term outdoor exposure. This process helps ensure consistent performance and long-term durability in outdoor playground environments.
2.3 Cutting & Shaping
The wood is precisely cut and shaped according to the slide structure, ensuring consistent dimensions for accurate assembly. This process also improves overall structural stability and installation efficiency.
2.4 ACQ Pressure Treatment
ACQ pressure treatment is applied to deeply penetrate the wood, providing excellent resistance to rot, insects, and decay. The process is arsenic-free and environmentally friendly, making it safe for children’s playground equipment.
2.5 Post-Treatment Conditioning
After treatment, the wood undergoes conditioning and re-drying to enhance stability and extend its outdoor service life. This process helps maintain consistent quality and reduces the risk of movement or deformation over time.
2.6 Sanding & Finishing
All contact surfaces are carefully sanded to remove burrs and sharp edges, ensuring safety and a smooth touch for children. This finishing process also enhances overall comfort and improves the user experience during play.
2.7.Surface Protection
Eco-friendly outdoor coatings or waterproof treatments are applied as required to enhance weather resistance and appearance. These treatments help protect the wood surface from moisture, UV exposure, and daily wear in outdoor environments.
2.8.Quality Inspection
All wooden components are strictly inspected before use to ensure compliance with playground and export safety standards. This final inspection guarantees consistent quality and reliable performance for every playground structure.
We use ACQ pressure-treated wood, which is arsenic-free and environmentally friendly, making it safe and suitable for children’s outdoor playground equipment in accordance with international safety standards.
Safety & Certifications
GS Certificate Issued by TUV SUD
WeYou playgrounds are designed and manufactured in compliance with European Norm (EN1176-1:2008) so as to minimize the injury hazards during play, as we understand how critical it would be to the business of our customers.
Our outdoor slides are fully certified to meet international safety standards, including EN 1176 and related national requirements. Each product has passed rigorous testing for structural stability, anti-entrapment, and material safety, ensuring every play experience is both fun and secure.
Finger Entrapment requirements
Small Finger Probe diameter：8 mm Big Finger Probe diameter：25 mm,the size should be less 8mm or more 25mm
Head and Neck Entrapment Standard
The equipment must not contain structures or openings that could cause a child’s head or neck to become entrapped. Pay particular attention to slide entrances, climbing platform railings, and the area where the chute edge connects to the handrail. All openings accessible to, climbable by, or probing by children must be tested for entrapment.
If a small probe can fit through the opening, but a large probe cannot, with an aperture range of 45 mm–230 mm, the equipment is considered to have a entrapment or neck entrapment hazard.
If both probes can fit through, or neither can fit through, with a safety aperture size of less than 45 mm or greater than 230 mm, the equipment is considered safe
Entanglement Protection Requirements
There shall be no structures that may cause entanglement of children’s clothing drawstrings, necklaces, hair, or similar items.
Typical inspection areas:
1.Slide handrails, connectors, and pipe joints:
Check for gaps or protruding bolts. Use smooth caps to maintain a rounded shape.
2.Openings in slide exit guardrails:
If the openings form circular holes with diameters between 8–25 mm, they should be closed off or modified to a non-circular shape.
3.Rope net connection ends:
Check for protruding metal connectors or knots. Protective sleeves should be added, or the protruding parts should be shortened.
4.Decorative accessories (such as connector, nut caps, etc.):
If they create spaces that could cause entanglement, they should be designed as enclosed or flexible structures.
EN1176-3
For the slide start section or fence of the attached slide to extend onto the platform, the portion between the platform and the rung needs to meet the requirements of the platform.
Note 2: This requirement includes the height of the guardrail or fence.

Detailed Manuals-Assembly Instructions （sample）
Our slides can be installed with either in-ground anchoring or expansion bolts on concrete. We provide detailed installation instructions, and our team can also offer on-site or remote installation support if needed.
If your grouond is concrete, we recommend choosing surface mount type, please ensure the concrete is 15cm thick. If the concrete is too thin, the expansion screws can crack or crumble under stress (especially upward pull and lateral rocking forces), rendering the anchor ineffective and potentially causing the slide to tip over.
If your ground is grass or sand, we recommend choosing inground type. This requires digging some 30-60cm deep pits and then pouring concrete to fix it when installing
both are very secure; it all depends on the type of floor you have.
1.Inground type: lengthen the posts,for soft ground, like grass ground, choose inderground type
2. Surface mount type: for hard ground, like concrete, choose surface mount type
How to maintain
1. After a slide is out of service, staff should inspect it before reopening. No exposed sharp edges, corners, or burrs should be present in any areas accessible to users. Cracks, deformations, breaks, or excessively smooth joints should be present. Any abnormalities should be repaired promptly.
2. During operation, the slide’s exterior will accumulate dust and should be cleaned regularly with a standard detergent to ensure a smooth surface finish.
3. In severe weather, such as hail, the slide should be covered with a colored cloth in advance to protect the surface from damage.
4. During periods of outage, the slide’s steel structure should be inspected for corrosion. If extensive deterioration of the anti-corrosion paint is observed, all steel structures should be treated with anti-corrosion treatment immediately.
5. Inspect the slide’s fasteners and tighten any loose bolts.
Daily Care – Keep It Safe Every Day
1.Check the slide surface for cracks, damage or sharp edges
2.Make sure all platforms, handrails, and steps are stable.
