Q: What materials are used for outdoor play equipment?

• <div><p>Wood, metal, and plastic are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a playground myself?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It&rsquo;s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it&rsquo;s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.</p></div>

Brian was great at fitting me in with short notice. He arrived when he said he would and flexed his time so we could meet and discuss the project, and he got it finished on time. His rates were fair and the invoice was accurate. I would use him again and recommend him.
