Natural School Playgrounds - School Playground Equipment
Steve
the Shark is an interesting and stimulating addition to any play area or trail.
The handcrafted
sculpture is an ideal addition to any nature or sculpture trail, while it also
excels when used in any ocean or pirate themed play area, which may well include
other similarly themed Pendlewood products, such as our huge play ships or our
Ocean Traversing Wall. The realistic and inspirational design will also help to
encourage creative and cognitive play.
Steve
the Shark is handcrafted by our team of experts using tanalised sustainable
redwood, which is an excellent timber for children's equipment as it is low maintenance
and less prone to splinters than a hardwood.
MORE INFORMATION
Redwood
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.
Tanalith E conforms to the efficacy requirements of BS EN
599-1:19997, and is treated in accordance with the penetration and
retention guidance given in BS EN 351-1:1996 to give a desired service
life in the selected hazard class as defined in BS EN 335-1:11992.
