Frequently asked questions about play equipment made of robinia
How do Robinia play equipment differ from other wooden play equipment?
Robinia wood is characterized by the highest durability of European timber. Therefore, it is especially suitable for products that are constantly exposed to the elements. There is no need to use chemical wood preservatives. Debarked and debarked logs are mostly used for uprights / posts. The crooked growth of the robinia, also known as acacia, gives the playground equipment a very playful, organic character. These near-natural play facilities must therefore be made manually by skilled workers. Each product is therefore unique.
How are robinia play equipment made of natural wood delivered?
What do you have to consider for the assembly?
As a rule, play areas made of robinia are delivered in large assemblies, as they have to be largely assembled in the course of manufacture. However, some holes in wood must be made during assembly. Appropriate lifting devices or hoists are required for unloading from the truck during delivery as well as for installation. In addition, unobstructed access must be possible.
The range of play equipment made from robinia wood is comparatively small compared to the other product groups.
Why isn't there a bigger choice?

I generally like play equipment made from Robinia and our organization wants products made from untreated wood. What do we have to consider when operating playgrounds with robinia play equipment?

The advantages of robinia wood are obvious: long durability, even in direct soil, no chemical wood protection. However, it should also be noted that playground equipment made from natural robinia wood requires a lot of maintenance. The use of heartwood creates cracks in the components that can potentially cause injury. Cracks and deformations also often occur in square timber. Therefore these have to be repaired or sanded out. If crooked round trunks have to be exchanged once, this also means a lot of effort, as there is no exactly the same trunk. Adjustment work on site is absolutely necessary. If there are insufficient maintenance resources and skilled personnel, we recommend that you use the alternative natural larch.
