What are my playground surfacing options and how do they differ?

Do you offer installation services?

Can volunteers install my playground?

Yes, community builds are a great way to foster community spirit and save costs on installation. Detailed installation instructions are provided with every order, although some component installations can be challenging for inexperienced installers. If you are considering a community build, please contact your sales representative and he or she can provide guidance and helpful planning information.

What other costs do I need to consider for my project beyond the equipment costs?

List prices are for equipment only but when we prepare a quote we typically include shipping costs and sales tax, if applicable. There are also a variety of other costs to consider for playground projects, including:

• Equipment Installation Costs
• Relevant Site Work Costs (e.g. base prep, curbing, concrete, etc.)

Is it possible to make upgrades to my existing playground without buying a whole new structure?

Yes, NuToys can work with you to update and refresh your existing playground. We can retrofit your playground and incorporate exciting new play elements that will bring fresh life to your play space, while also making sure that it meets current accessibility and safety standards. Please contact your sales representative to schedule a site visit and review of your existing play area.

Can I plan my playground to be built in phases?

Yes, the modularity of our playground components and skate parks allow for them to be planned and built in phases. This is a great option if you would like to start out with some initial equipment and then gradually build your playground as additional resources and funds become available.
