Building Playgrounds for Coastal Areas: Why Moduplay’s Extreme Marine Range Stands Out

The Coastal Challenge: A Playground’s Toughest Test

Coastal environments are unforgiving. Factors such as salty air, strong winds, and intense sun exposure can degrade standard playground equipment faster than most inland areas. Key issues include:

• Corrosion: Salt accelerates rust and deterioration in metal components. This can compromise structural integrity and safety over time.
• UV Damage: Prolonged sun exposure fades colours, weakens plastics, and degrades coatings, diminishing a playground’s aesthetic and durability.
• Moisture and Humidity: Constant exposure to moisture can lead to mould, mildew, and the breakdown of wood and other materials.

A playground designed for coastal use must address these challenges from the ground up—something many manufacturers overlook.

Why Moduplay’s Extreme Marine Package is Built to Last

At Moduplay, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. The Extreme Marine Package is tailored specifically to withstand Australia’s harsh coastal climate, ensuring safety, durability, and beauty for years to come. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Marine-Grade Materials

• Stainless Steel: We use marine-grade stainless steel for metal components, offering unparalleled resistance to salt and corrosion.
• UV-Stabilised Plastics: Our plastics are treated with UV stabilisers to prevent fading, cracking, and brittleness, even under intense sunlight.
• Timber Alternatives: While timber has its place, our Extreme Marine Package often incorporates durable materials like HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), which resists moisture and warping.

2. Advanced Protective Coatings

Every metal surface is treated with advanced powder coatings designed to resist corrosion and UV damage. These coatings are specifically formulated to handle high-salinity environments.

3. Designed for Coastal Durability

Our design team accounts for the unique wear patterns of coastal playgrounds. Components are built with precision to minimise gaps and crevices where salt, sand, and moisture can accumulate.

Backed by the Best Warranty in the Industry

We stand by the quality of our products with an industry-leading 12-year warranty on the Extreme Marine Package. This reflects our confidence in the durability and craftsmanship of our equipment.

In fact, many of our standard products can be upgraded to Extreme Marine specifications, ensuring you get tailored solutions for your coastal project. Simply consult with one of our project designers—they’ll guide you through the options to create a playground that meets your community’s needs while standing up to coastal conditions.

Moduplay vs. the Competition

While many playground manufacturers claim durability, their designs often fall short in Australia’s coastal settings. Competitors may rely on generic materials and coatings not suited to high-salinity environments, leading to rapid deterioration. In contrast:

Longevity: Our warranties reflect our confidence. With 12 years of coverage, you can rest assured your investment is protected.

Customisation: Moduplay offers bespoke solutions, allowing clients to upgrade to Extreme Marine specifications across a wide range of products.

Transparency: Our materials and coatings are tested for Australian conditions, ensuring reliable performance.
