With over 25 years’ experience, we started out as a father and son joinery team. And we’re proud to still be a family business, one that’s committed to personal service and close client relationships.
We thrive on creating inspiring bespoke outdoor play areas across the UK. From schools and nurseries to parish and town councils and much-loved historic visitor attractions, we’ve transformed hundreds of spaces into magical play places.
Think Viking boats, castles, dragons, treehouses, trains, tractors, playhouses, bridges, ships… imagine it and we’ll build it!
All designed to exacting standards to be sustainable, safe and, of course, adventurous for children of all ages.
