Durable Playground Materials
Playground Material and Manufacturing Process
At Little Tikes Commercial, we understand that the materials used in playgrounds are just as important as the design and functionality. That’s why we use only the highest-quality materials, engineered for durability, safety, and fun. Step into a world where unstructured play stirs the imagination, unlocks potential, nurtures creativity, and inspires kids to live a life of wonder.
3-Step Finishing for Steel Posts
A three-step finishing process for posts fortifies high-tensile, cold-formed steel, resulting in exceptional durability, color fastness, and corrosion resistance. The steel we use is incredibly strong yet lightweight, making it ideal for creating the intricate shapes and structures of our play equipment.
Our commitment to quality is evident in every detail of the manufacturing process and the materials we select, including:
- ZincrichTM internal coating: Even steel needs a little support, so we use ZincrichTM internal coating on tubes including weldments.
- Pure zinc: We use Flo-CoatTM pure zinc galvanizing on the surface of the tubes. The process involves a continuous galvanizing technique where steel tubing passes through a molten bath of pure zinc, resulting in a uniform coating on the surface. Pure zinc offers excellent corrosion resistance, which is critical for extending the life span of steel products exposed to moisture and corrosive elements.
- Powder coating: We finish with polyester dry powder coating for vibrant color. Who knew steel could be so stylish?
Vinyl Deck Coating
We coat every deck with vinyl to minimize heat transfer and promote resilience against aging and corrosion. This process makes the surface more comfortable for children.
Compound Resin
Compound resin gives our rotomolded products exceptional impact, durability, strength, and UV resistance. The color goes beyond the surface. Since it’s integrated into the material, it’s resistant to fading and chipping, even with prolonged exposure to the elements.
Steel Clamps
Our Kid Builders structures support kids while they climb by utilizing a nonslip clamp design that’s twice as strong as aluminum alloy clamps and includes tamper-resistant hardware.
Direct Connect
Our Play Builders structures feature the Direct Connect system that provides a unique dual-tempered fastener, adding strength and durability to the self-drilling tip and threads.
