HAGS Inspired by Nature

INSPIRED BY NATURE

Children crave the joy of play, yearning for the boundless freedom to invent, imagine, and explore. They long to run, move, and dance, eagerly embracing the opportunity to strive and accomplish.

These young souls seek spaces to share with their friends, while also desiring moments of solitude to delve into books, ponder, or simply exist. At HAGS, we hold true to our guiding principle of 'Inspiring All Generations' as we meticulously design, construct, and craft wooden play equipment that nurtures your children's play and learning experiences.

Our products are intentionally crafted to be simple and open-ended, both sturdy and beautiful, granting your children the freedom to unleash their imagination, foster growth, and flourish.

Our wood is attractive

HAGS wooden playgrounds look beautiful, effortlessly harmonizing within outdoor environments. They meet all the essential criteria for safety, longevity, environmental friendliness, and supporting children's development.

But that’s not all. HAGS takes pride in using a biodegradable wood stain primer and finisher on all our wooden products. This not only adds an extra layer of protection and a smooth finish but also imparts a pleasing, subtle colour that will keep your playground looking fantastic for years to come.

Our wood is sustainable

Our wooden playgrounds provide a better choice for the planet, as wood stands as a naturally renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable resource. The manufacturing process generates minimal waste, and any leftover wood chips can be repurposed as fuel or sawdust.

Rest assured, all our timber is sourced from responsibly managed Scandinavian forests and carries FSC certification. By employing computerised wood-cutting techniques, we minimize waste even further. Additionally, our commitment to environmental sustainability extends to the use of waterbased, biodegradable solvents that leave no detrimental impact on the ecosystem.

Our wood is low maintenance

Our wood is sourced from Scandinavian forests, where the trees grow slowly and develop a very dense and compact quality reducing the risk of cracks and splinters.

All our wooden posts have galvanised steel ground sockets to avoid direct contact with soil, thus reducing the risk of mould contamination or rot. This feature also eliminates the risk of strimmer damage. Vertical posts come with a cap on top for additional protection.

Our wood provides play for a lifetime

Nordic Timber contains a high proportion of heartwood which is very strong and less prone to bug or fungus infestation.

Our pine will also withstand harsh weather conditions such as long, cold Nordic winters or damp environments, and can last over 25 years.

Our wood can be repaired, renewed, refurbished

With exceptional resilience, wooden playgrounds boast remarkable durability, making them easy to repair and refresh.

Should the need arise, a simple coat of fresh paint and a revitalising touch can breathe new life into these play areas. For a complete transformation, consider reskinning your playground by replacing outdated panels with vibrant, themed, or coloured play panels, rejuvenating the entire play area.

Our wood supports sensory play

Wood, in its essence, unlocks a realm of sensory experiences, offering a multitude of tactile experiences.

Its touch can evoke warmth or coolness, its surface may exhibit textures that range from rough to smooth, and its state can transition from wet to dry. Wood carries distinctive smells, as well as producing a diverse array of sounds when tapped against with other materials.

Our wooden playgrounds boast play value

Each component of our UniPlay and UniMini structures is thoughtfully crafted to instil confidence, foster social interaction, and nurture vital cognitive and gross motor skills.

Our exceptional play activities seamlessly blend physical fitness with problem-solving, stimulating teamwork, critical thinking, and unleashing boundless creativity.
