Playground furniture
Last updated:Appropriate ancillary items, such as gates, fences, litter bins and seating if provided should be constructed and installed to apply to the requirements of BS EN 1176.
Cluttered play areas cause supervisory and accident problems for schools and the installation of any ancillary equipment should be an integral part of an overall plan. Ancillary equipment should not restrict the statutory recommended open play areas, or their safety run-off zones.
Where practicable, the space beyond playgrounds and their safe run-off zones should be considered for furniture and equipment locations.
