Steel

The Structural Foundation of High Performance Playgrounds

Our steel playground equipment, shelters, and amenities are proudly made in the USA so you can trust that our structures are built to last and provide fun for years to come.

Steel is built to last

Steel is a popular material choice for playground equipment, amenities, and shelter structures because of its durability and low maintenance features. With a protective powder coating, our steel components are vibrant in color and resistant to corrosion, UV damage, and harsh weather.

Why Choose Steel Playground Equipment, Shades, and Amenities?

DSA Pre-Approved

Weather & Corrosion Resistance

Our galvanized steel posts and tubing deliver exceptional strength and long-lasting durability for every installation. Each component undergoes our proprietary Triple Flo-Coat® process, which treats both interior and exterior surfaces to provide superior corrosion resistance in any climate. Committed to sustainability, our galvanized steel posts and tubing are 95%–98% recyclable. We offer posts in two size options, giving you the flexibility to select the perfect balance of performance and value for your project.

Vandal-Resistant Stainless Steel Hardware

Our hardware composition is 99% stainless steel, with only 1% corrosion-resistant coated steel components. The majority of our fasteners feature vandal-resistant designs that help protect your playground, amenity, or shelter structure from tampering and ensure long-term security. When your configuration requires it, we supply security patches that create a locked connection between screws and vertical pipes for enhanced structural integrity. Each piece of hardware comes individually packaged with clear labeling, simplifying the installation workflow and reducing setup time on site.

Multi-Layer Protection With a Durable Powder Coat

All steel playground and amenity components receive primer treatment at welded joints before being finished with a 3-5 mil powder coat application. This multi-layer protection guards against fading and rust, ensuring your playground maintains its vibrant appearance for years. For installations in challenging environments like coastal regions, we offer enhanced protection coating upgrades.

Strong, UV Stabilized Finish For Lasting Colors

We manufacture our activity panels, signs, benches, picnic tables, and other amenities from robust ¾-inch thick high-density polyethylene with a textured finish. UV stabilization technology preserves the vibrant colors you choose, preventing fading even after years of sun exposure. This durable material resists stains and graffiti while maintaining a splinter-free, crack-resistant surface that stands up to heavy use and requires minimal maintenance.

Fabric-only shade replacement in just 5 days

Fast, hassle-free shade replacement! If your fabric shade needs a refresh, we can deliver a high-quality fabric-only replacement in just 5 business days. With our quick turnaround, you’ll minimize downtime and keep your space cool and protected without the long wait.
