The way we pack and deliver our equipment makes everything easy and sustainable. • The shipment is split up and packed in smaller units. This allows us to deliver the products to otherwise inaccessible places. • The playgrounds can be shipped as ordinary goods and sent together with other products. More in the vehicle – better for the environment. • Each individual product is clearly marked with steel band. This makes it easy to spread out the equipment at the location and thus get a good overview before installation. • We have reduced the amount of plastic and packaging that is used.

6 MATERIALS DID YOU KNOW THAT: Robinia comes with its own natural defence that ensures excellent resistance to rotting and mould. It is therefore possible to entirely avoid using toxic treatment. Steel, brackets and screws We primarily use highquality stainless steel for our brackets and large steel components, e.g. slides, firepoles and brackets for swings and aerial ropeways. To a lesser extent we also use galvanised components. The quality of the screws are A2 or a corresponding standard. The best warranties We offer some of the industry’s best warranties. We can do this because we only produce playground equipment of the best quality. Among other things, NORNA PLAYGROUNDS offers 15 years’ warranty against degradation due rotting and mould for Robinia wood. The ropes We use Taifun rope/ wires, which are a very wear-resistant product. It consists of a steel core encased in nylon. Choose a sustainable wood Long lifetime Playground equipment from NORNA PLAYGROUNDS is developed with extreme care and using sustainable materials, which means it can have a very long lifetime. NORNA PLAYGROUNDS primarily uses Robinia wood for its equipment. In addition, we also use Douglas and Siberian larch. These types of wood are generally delivered untreated. If you would like a colour applied to the equipment, our standard is a chestnut-coloured waterbased treatment. Many types of wood have a limited lifetime upon contact with soil. This is where Robinia wood is different by having a lifetime of up to 32 years upon contact with soil. Figure 1 shows the lifetimes of the different wood types upon contact with soil.

The FSC® mark documents that the products stem from forest areas that are used sustainably. • The FSC® has a broad approach to sustainability – and it works with the financial, social and environmental aspects. • The FSC® ensures that the number of trees chopped down does not exceed what the forest can replenish naturally. • The FSC® ensures that rare plants, waterways and springs are protected. • The FSC® forest ensures that endangered animals are safe, by protecting their habitat from logging. • The FSC® ensures that a percentage of the total revenue from the forest is used to support the local society. • The FSC® makes sure that forest workers receive a fair salary, safety equipment and training.

10 DESIGNING OUTDOOR SPACES Fitting out the playground When a playground has to be fitted out, there are some important decisions to be made. Which functions do you want the playground to support? There are many options, and the right composition and choice of equipment can ensure a combination of several functions: • climbing • balance • motor skills • inclusion • training • sensory play • sand and water play • exercise • quiet areas Planting and terrain In the area where the playground should be placed, you can also consider changing the terrain. Most often, you will have excess soil that can easily be used for embankments and hills, which the children will enjoy. Zones and rooms in the space With sun shades, awnings, hammocks, sensory gardens and sensory elements, different zones and rooms can be created at the playground. Planting or hedges and palisades can also help encircle the playground and create rooms in the outdoor space. The playground equipment and solutions for institutions, nurseries, schools, housing associations, public spaces and parks.
