Crafting Timeless Adventures with Outdoor Wooden Play Structures
At Four Acres, we embrace a meticulous approach in selecting and integrating outdoor wooden play structures, ensuring each piece seamlessly aligns with our commitment to natural, inclusive, and engaging playscapes. Our design philosophy prioritises equipment that sparks imaginative play and harmonises with the surrounding environment. From rustic timber structures and nature-inspired elements to thoughtfully chosen adventure components, our curated selection reflects our dedication to creating play areas that resonate with the essence of discovery. Every choice is made with a discerning eye toward enhancing the overall landscape, providing children with a diverse range of experiences, and fostering a deeper connection to the outdoors.
Timber Play Structures
Using timber play structures in playgrounds holds many advantages, making timber a favoured material for vibrant and engaging play spaces. Timber offers a natural aesthetic, blending seamlessly with outdoor environments and providing children with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Its versatility allows for constructing diverse play structures, fostering creativity and imaginative play.
Beyond its visual appeal, timber is a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice when responsibly sourced. Timber’s inherent durability ensures the longevity of playground structures, allowing them to withstand various weather conditions. At Four Acres, we recognise the favourable attributes of timber and integrate it thoughtfully into our designs, prioritising safety, sustainability, and the overall enjoyment of the play experience for children.

When possible, we use both playground timbers and natural Robinia that meet high-quality standards, are sustainably sourced, and are FSC certified. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is reflected in our careful selection of materials. These timbers, derived from sustainable sources, adhere to the rigorous standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring that the wood used in our playground installations is harvested responsibly, promoting the well-being of ecosystems and communities.
Steel Playground Equipment
When thoughtfully incorporated into play spaces, steel playground equipment has the potential to add a touch of modern aesthetics and structural elegance. We believe in the artful integration of steel elements, understanding that when used in the right places and with restraint, it can contribute to the overall beauty of a playground. Steel’s sleek and contemporary design possibilities can complement various themes, providing a durable and visually striking contrast to natural surroundings.
Recycled Playground Materials
We embrace a sustainable approach to playground design by incorporating recycled playground materials into our projects when possible, infusing a unique character and innovation into our designs. From recycled plastic components to repurposed metal structures, these materials offer a second life, adding a distinctive and eco-friendly touch to our playground installations.
Our commitment to sustainable practices aligns with creating vibrant, imaginative play spaces that captivate children’s imaginations and inspire a sense of environmental responsibility. By choosing recycled playground materials, we strive to create playgrounds that provide joy and creativity and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Inclusive Play Spaces
We incorporate DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) - compliant playground equipment into our projects to ensure our play spaces are accessible and enjoyable for children of all abilities. DDA playground equipment is thoughtfully designed to meet specific accessibility standards, providing features that cater to the diverse needs of children with disabilities.
From wheelchair-accessible ramps to sensory-rich elements, our playgrounds foster an inclusive environment where every child can engage in play, promoting social interaction and a sense of belonging. By integrating DDA-compliant equipment, we strive to create play spaces and community hubs for all children to enjoy the benefits of outdoor play.
