The Hissing Sid is a creative and unique seat for small children. 

Encouraging imaginative play and also giving children a friendly place to sit and relax, Sid can also be used as part of a nature trail. 

Hissing Sid is handcrafted from sustainable redwood timbers, an ideal timber for children's play equipment as it is low maintenance and less prone to splinters than hardwoods.

Redwood (Pinus sylvestris)

 

Due to Environmental reasons we choose to use European Redwood. This is one of the hardest softwoods available and is suitable for exterior usage. It has a natural resilience, and the introduction of the preservative Tanalith E helps this timber have a greater life span than some hardwoods - without the negative environmental impact associated with exotic hardwoods.

Redwood timber is fully grown in 50 years. It is also harvested and replanted in 50% of the time that it takes a hardwood tree to reach maturity. All redwood used by Pendlewood is harvested from sustainable forests.

Tanalith E Pressure Treated Timber

 

The treated timber that Pendlewood supply is pressure treated Tanalith E.
