Slides

Whether nursery school, school, public playground or residential estate: with us you will find the slide you need for the playground, either as a freestanding, stand-alone unit or as an attachment to a platform or a play tower.

The Exclusive slide with ladder is freestanding. Children climb up to the slide by themselves over five sturdy rungs, and it is recommended from the age of four for two children at the same time. The PE slides come in heights of 0.90 and 1.50 metres, each in one or two parts, plus an aluminium entry platform measuring 106 by 106 centimetres. The tube slides lead down through an enclosed tube from heights of 1.50, 2.00 or 2.50 metres, and the element slides are designed as an add-on element.

While climbing up and sliding down, children train their motor skills and their sense of balance, and while queuing for the slide they practise waiting for one another. You will find slides as part of a larger play structure among our play towers; for children from the age of two there is a dedicated toddler slide among the play equipment for toddlers.

Our slides are made of polyethylene, which we have been moulding in our own rotational moulding plant since 2014. The Exclusive slide combines a sliding surface made of polyethylene with a steel ladder.

Slides force movement, which is why the playground standard DIN EN 1176 requires impact-absorbing surfacing under them across the entire impact area, regardless of height. The free height of fall ranges from under 1.00 metre for the PE slide 0.90 m to under 2.50 metres for the tube slide 2.50 m. The impact area ranges from 265 by 350 centimetres for the PE slide 0.90 m to 840 by 350 centimetres for the freestanding Exclusive slide. You can work out the area required with our safety surfacing calculation, and you will find suitable surfacing under safety surfacing.

Where possible, plan the slide to face north so that the sliding surface does not heat up in the sun.
