The sandbox and the sand castle

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

To build sand castles in a sandpit is simply  part of childhood. With imagination and skill the most amazing designs are created. To build the sand castle particularly large, stable and individually, the children experiment in the sandbox with water, molds and materials from the garden.

Create a “work environment” for your children.  In a beautiful sandbox sand castle building is much more enjoyable. In addition to the normal rectangular sandbox models we also have other special sandbox models in our shop. These include, for example, the sandbox Störtebecker in the shape of a ship and the sandbox Flippey with an added bench. While the sandbox Störtebecker invites kids to have adventures at sea, the sandbox Flippey offers your little builders exceptional comfort when digging.

When building sand castles a roof can be very important. Thus, the sand castle can stand for several days without the rain damaging it. See our assortment of both a sandbox with a wooden roof and the sandbox Toni, which can be expanded with a tarpaulin roof.

And do not forget the anti-root foil for your sandbox. It is placed under the play sand and prevents the sandbox from getting contaminated with roots and worms.

Your own playground with swings and a climbing frame

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

All children dream of a playground in the garden where they have a climbing frame, swing and sandbox all to themselves. No more queueing at the slide or an annoying wait at the swing until the swing is finally free …

You can make your children’s dreams come true with a climbing frame, a swing or other articles of playground equipment from our range. Check for yourself how much space you have available in the garden and what budget you want to spend on the climbing frame or swing.

We offer our wooden playground equipment in various sizes and price ranges. With our Tiki Tower climbing frame your children have a full playground for small gardens. They can climb, slide and play in the sand. Our climbing frame Sunshine Tower is also affordable and offers, in addition to the climbing ladder, a slide and sandbox and also a swing. You can start easily with a small climbing frame and then expand with our playground equipment each year. Build on an extra swing, climbing frame, a playtower or a wobbly bridge.

Naturally, we also have available large climbing frames, for example the Castle Camelot and climbing frame Santa Maria.
No matter what climbing frame model you choose – your kids will spend hours with their fun and adventurous new playground equipment in the garden!

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

The play tower Sunshine Duo Sports is both playful and sporty at the same time. Those who want to experience adventure can use the climbing wall with climbing stones to get on the play tower, and then when sliding down the wave slide feel the wind rushing through your hair. Does your child feel like a basketball game? If so, the play tower also has a basketball hoop.
With the play tower the time in the garden will fly by. While the children are digging in the sandbox and are on the swing, the older kids can play on the basketball court.

Do your children want to train stamina and skills at the same time? Nothing easier than to practise that on the play tower Sunshine Duo Sports. With the various playground equipment they can practice in a playful way. With the rope ladder and climbing wall patience and tact are required, the slide and basketball hoop demand endurance and precision. The swing, which has room for two children, helps to relax and to let loose.
Over time, additional playground equipment can be installed. For small gymnastics we can offer our gymnastic bar. Of course, a climbing net and another sandbox can be mounted on the swing frame set.
The play tower Sunshine Duo Sports will enable your children to do sport and play at the same time. This is how working out and training makes a lot of fun!

Playtower quality – quality at Wickey

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

While children choose a particular play tower because of the integrated playground equipment (swing, slide, sandbox, climbing net, etc.) for the parents the quality of the play tower is crucial to the purchase. A play tower has to be creative and adaptable. Quality characteristics such as stability, durability and security should also be communicated transparently and always verifiable.
What demands on the quality of our play towers do we set?
The stability is the “nuts and bolts” in a play tower. We guarantee it with extra-wide posts and beams, with our flexible but strong X-Cross-connection and with excellent wood. The wood for our playground equipment comes from sustainable forest management and has been pressure treated. It guarantees two additional quality factors in each play tower: durability and environmental friendliness.

Because we are convinced of the quality of our play towers, we give for each tower a 10-year warranty. You should also consult our warranty statement. For busy parents a further feature is crucial: the simple installation of your playground equipment. Of course, you have to take the time for a safe anchorage of the play tower in the ground. But we try with the pre-drilled boards and beams, and the very clear installation instructions to support you as best we can.
Convince yourself in our online store of the quality of our play towers.

Gifts for Children

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Are you looking for a gift for kids, then think about the warm season. Children love to play on playground equipment in the garden. One of the most popular playground items is the slide. It is amazing how children tirelessly climb the stairs to the slide and then happily slide down. In other words, a slide is the perfect gift for kids!
If you already have a playground in your garden, then you only have to get a slide to expand. In our shop we offer different model swings that you can add to it: the wave slide, spiral slide, turbo slide, or the stainless steel slide. Of course you can also get a swing including a swing frame. Or combine the slide immediately with a swing or a complete play tower.
A slide is certainly a long lasting gift for children and will never lose its appeal. Every spring, your children are happy to welcome the slide season. At the same time a slide is not very maintenance intensive. Of course it must be securely anchored to the ground and the connection between the slide and slide platform must be stable. But a slide made of plastic need only be cleaned lightly and the thrills can begin immediately.
