Merry Go Round SportsPlay

The classic (and dizzying) ride of a merry go round! The children at your daycare, school, or church will love the same thrill we all grew up with. Is any playground really complete without this ride? Pair it with a teeter totter, a playground slide or two, and you’ve put together a great combination with a variety of options for your park without the huge expense of the play system.

With the powder coated punched deck, this merry go round drains well for sure footing. Pair that colorful deck with the governor to control speed and shaft lubrication, and you’ve got a safe and smooth ride!

Installation

WE OFFER INSTALLATION!

We are excited to offer installation services across most of the contiguous United States. In order to obtain a quote, please email, call, or simply add the product of your choice to a quote, fill out a little information and be sure to check the box to request installation pricing.

For installation, we require the site by level and free of debris and underlying issues that would make digging difficult. Each customer takes responsibility for their own, site prep, permitting, and mulch/surfacing unless otherwise arranged.Site preparation information for surfacing installation available here.

CAN I INSTALL THIS?

The short answer is yes. We have had many customers install systems themselves with the right handy talent. It may not go as quickly as it does for our professional installation crews, but it can be done as a budget-conscious solution for daycares, churches and apartment complexes!

FOOTER OPTIONS, DEPENDING UPON THE PRODUCT

• Ground Spike is the easiest ground attachment method where you use a sledgehammer to drive 18+ inch stakes through a footer plate to secure the poses in the location of your choice. This method is not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and is only offered for a limited number of sets.
• In-Ground Mounting is the most common method for playground and shade equipment attachment. This method requires digging and setting the post in concrete poured at the time of installation.
• Surface Mount or Anchor Bolt is the attachment method where you receive special plate and bolt hardware to secure a post to a solid surface, typically concrete.
