Huck Play Playground Equipment Cost Guide: Play Towers, Swings, & More

A playground's benefits are endless, and no organisation should let finances prevent them from providing children with a safe and enjoyable play space. But we know playground equipment cost is inevitably a big factor in your decision-making process.

If you’re in the budgeting stage of planning your playground, having a general idea of how much playground equipment will cost can help you set realistic expectations and make informed decisions.

Of course, several factors can affect the exact price of the equipment, like any bespoke features or tweaks needed to the structures to fit your site. Costs will also vary from supplier to supplier, but we can provide you with an idea of what you can expect from our standard Huck Play equipment.

Since we know many organisations do struggle with funding their playground, we make sure to provide you with a vast range of options to suit any budget. From large-scale play towers and pyramids to smaller pieces like swings and slides, we have something for every project.

Plus, our equipment is built to last, combining top-quality materials with our design team’s expertise, so you can be assured your investment will bring years of joy and play to children!

Another popular choice of swing is a rope end swinger. These swings are made from thick, braided rope to provide a swinging platform to stand on while traversing from one end to the other.

These can be a fun addition to any commercial play area or school play park that provides an alternative to traditional swing seats. The Hydra Swinger is one of our most popular rope end swingers. It isn't our cheapest swinger, priced at £6,372, but with a double frame and double swinging ropes, it's excellent value for money.

Additional Costs When Building a Playground

Other factors can affect the cost of playground equipment, too. You should factor these into your planning and consider if these will apply to your project.

Custom Playground Equipment

Custom playground equipment often costs more than standard options due to several factors, like:

1. The design and planning stage for bespoke structures is more involved.
2. Customised equipment may require parts or materials not typically used in standard models, leading to increased material costs.
3. Installation of bespoke equipment can be more complex and time-consuming, further contributing to the higher price.

Tweaking standard structures or coming up with completely new designs requires an extra level of consideration and expertise and, as a result, a higher cost.

But custom playground equipment offers unique and exciting play experiences for children that they won’t find at any other play area – they’ll be unique to your site! This can be particularly beneficial in commercial projects, where the goal is to attract and engage a large number of children.

We love creating bespoke playground equipment, and we love seeing the joy and excitement it brings children even more.

Powder Coating Options

Opting for powder coating can increase the overall cost of your playground equipment, too.

We currently offer 7 standard powder-coating colours, including jet black, sky blue, and light green, which are available across our whole equipment range. However, the process of adding these finishings to your equipment will require additional time and resources, which will be reflected in the final price.

The benefits definitely outweigh the costs, though. It adds a unique touch to your playground aesthetic, which will draw in more users and make your playground stand out in a sea of similar designs. The coating also helps to protect against weathering, increasing the life of your equipment.

These additional features, while increasing the initial investment, contribute to a more vibrant, visually appealing and long-lasting playground that aligns with your design vision.
