Private Playgrounds

After weeks of designing and construction PMD are coming to the end of this beautiful playground for a large private house.

The brief -  to create something fun that the children will grow into, allowing for younger siblings to follow in the footsteps of there piers.

The design was put in place incorporating a play tunnel leading to an open area with mushroom seats which will give the younger children a sense of adventure without being too far out of view of parents. Playground Springers made from HDPE were added to this part of the site including a seesaw style rocker for two children to play together.

Our client wanted a bespoke climbing frame with plenty of slides so we designed a climbing frame with 5 slides! Yes 5! This multiple age group climbing frame has been designed to have multiple level slides and platforms to keep the younger children entertained for hours. For the older children we added monkey bars and a climbing wall to improve arm and leg strength, a double width stainless steel embankment slide and a full25m zip-wire.

This playground will be the envy of many children and we are sure the children will be able to enjoy this area for many years to come being ideal for summer parties.

Happy Playing to all the children!

Pathway or Driveway, Sir?

Need a pathway or driveway that looks fantastic then resin bound stone might be the answer. Resin bound stone is a hard wearing surface which involves stone being coated in a resin which when hardens makes a solid parking or walking surface. Resin bound stone shouldn’t be confused with resin bonded stone which is a cheaper less effective process involving resin being pasted to The ground and the stone scattered on top. Resin bonded stone simply doesn’t last as long.

Pathways to guide people in a certain direction are what resin bound stone are all about in public areas. Hospitals, car parks, health centres, museums, and town centres are just some of the many places that can be easily improved with resin bound stone.
