Weight Limits and Safety Considerations
Safety is a paramount concern when selecting outdoor play equipment. The BERG PlayBase is constructed with high-quality, weather-resistant materials to ensure durability and stability.
The maximum weight capacity for the complete PlayBase frame is 400 kg, with a maximum weight per user of 100 kg.
It’s important to note that certain accessories may have lower weight limits; for instance, some swing seats are designed to support up to 50 kg. Therefore, always refer to the specific weight guidelines provided for each accessory to ensure safe usage.
Additionally, while the PlayBase is designed for stability without the need for concrete anchoring, it’s crucial to install the frame on level ground and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions meticulously. Ensuring adequate clearance around the structure—typically a minimum of 2.2 meters—is also essential to provide a safe play environment.
