:: JUNGLE GYM WORLD :: STEEL JUNGLE GYMS
There are many considerations surrounding steel jungle gyms,
and, as such, the most frequently asked questions are
answered below.
Will the products rust?
If you purchase cheap steel jungle gyms which do not
carry a guarantee against pre-mature rusting, the chances
of them rusting are very good. The tubes used should be galvanized so as to prevent
rusting, and only A grade tubing should be used.
Are the tubes further protected against rusting?
A reputable manufacturer will also apply lead free
under coatings and primer to prevent corrosion before
the top layer is applied. In most cases the top layer is of
good quality enamel paint.
What is better - wooden or steel jungle gyms?
The steel type offers the benefit of mobility and is
excellent for small spaces. The wooden type is more permanent
and requires a larger area. Depending on your specific
needs, both these types of equipment can be used in the play area.
Is it possible to rent rather than to purchase play structures?
Yes, there are manufacturers such as Jungle Gym World
who offer both rental and purchasing options. Rental
is a good idea if you have a nursery school and want
to create an environment that is constantly changing. It is also extremely
cost effective as the manufacturer handles all the maintenance.
Can the equipment handle adults as well?
If you want to climb up the structure to assist your
child, by all means, go ahead. It should, however, be
noted that age-appropriate equipment is specifically
designed to hold the weight of the child, and to ensure
that no injuries occur because of size.
Jungle Gym World has been manufacturing steel jungle
gyms for many years, and, should you consider buying one,
it is recommended that you contact them for expert advice and a selection of
