Our curved wooden posts are very innovative within the play industry. Our team creates them by glueing layers of solid wood together.
The timber is free of defects (knots or splits) because our workshop team identifies and removes them during the cutting work on the laminated strips. Our glue-laminated posts provide excellent strength and dimensional stability. Additionally, they offer impermeability to moisture ingress and pollution that would stain and deteriorate other types of wood.
The finishing ensures that the posts are free of splinters which eliminates the risk of injury and is pleasant to touch. The posts are resistant to dampness and pollution which reduces the maintenance costs of the structures and ensures their durability.
Proludic is also dedicated to sustainability alongside our dedication to quality and durability. Therefore, we control the impact of these wooden posts on the environment is controlled thanks to:
- Use of timber from sustainable and managed forests as set out in the PEFC guidelines.
- Guaranteed 100% recycling.
- Use of timber treatment products with low concentration levels.
Proludic uses this type of wood across many of our wooden play equipment ranges. Here are some of our most popular products that feature curved wooden posts as a primary element of their structure:
- Kanopé Range
- Cableways (J510, J511, J513)
