Sand Pits

Playcover sandpits offer a fantastic avenue for children to play and explore their creativity. We offer a variety of sandpits which are typically customised to identify with the surrounding environment. Sandpits may be built from timber, blocks, concrete or rubber, and should be lined with rubber or play lawn for user comfort and safety. The minimum recommended depth of a sandpit is 450mm and it should be filled with double or triple washed sand. It is important to have an adequate drainage system and it should be securely covered to keep the sand clean.

Shade

We offer advice on the shade sails and shade structures which are up to 98% UV rated. We only recommend engineered and approved designs, and shade which conforms to, or exceeds the relevant Australian Standards.

The harshness of the Australian sun demands that our children are well protected from harmful UV rays and shade design is a fundamental aspect of modern playground construction. We offer tailor made shade sails and shade structures for commercial playgrounds, schools and childcare centres. Our shade constructions provide engineered shade solutions that are specifically designed to complement your playground, play equipment and softfall surface.

You will can find examples of our work across Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney and Regional New South Wales (NSW). We also serve rural areas and are available to travel to your playground. Using Playcover shade means you will have the peace of mind in knowing that your shade has been engineered to suit your playground conditions.

Shade Pole Protection
Shade post-protectors are vital in reducing the potential for playground injury. We sell the highest quality pole-protectors that provide maximum life expectancy and reduce the potential for injury from accidental collision against the shade post.
Shade post-protectors protect against accidental collisions with shade support uprights by providing a protective layer of high impact absorbing foam. Playground operators have a duty of care to take reasonable precautions to prevent potential injuries, and installing Pole Protection assists in meeting the legal obligations of commercial playground operators.

Our shade post-protectors are made from high-density impact absorbing foam padding with a heavy-duty outdoor vinyl covering. Each protective pad is custom made to suit the size of the pole, and to reduce the potential for injury from accidental impact.
