PlayPower Ownership and Company Background in Lewisburg
Based in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, the company has manufactured commercial play structures since 1971. The Lewisburg manufacturer was acquired by PlayPower, based in Huntersville, North Carolina, which announced its acquisition on August 29, 2016. Knowing that PlayPower owns the company helps your committee identify the parent organization backing the product lines and warranty when reviewing equipment brands.
Product Lines and Warranty Coverage for Each Part
Challengers, NEOS, and inclusive and multigenerational play are the focus of the company history and catalog. Equipment designed for inclusive and multigenerational play lets people of different ages and abilities play together.
The manufacturer states it sets the standard for lifetime warranties, noting many products carry the best warranties in the industry. Structural parts receive this lifetime protection individually:
- Aluminum and steel posts that hold up the structure.
- Stainless steel hardware found throughout the equipment.
- Parts are held to the posts by clamps.
What Is the Cost of a Commercial Playground?
Committees should plan for about $1,000 per child on the playground at one time, per our playground equipment cost estimate. For 30 children, that means about $30,000 in equipment. For that size, Playworld estimates playground installation costs equal 25% to 35% of the equipment price ($7,500 to $10,500), with freight adding $4,500 or 15% for United States delivery. Freight means the shipping charge for delivering equipment to your site. Engineered wood fiber across the required 2,250 square feet adds playground surfacing costs of $7,900 to $12,400. That brings the whole project to $49,900 to $57,400. As a loose wood ground material, engineered wood fiber gets priced by the square foot.
