Custom Play Structures / outdoor playset

An outdoor playset is a structure erected outside for children to play on and around.

Typical components of an outdoor playset include:

Towers. 
In a playset, a tower is a vertical structure with one or more decks placed at various levels. A deck is essentially a horizontal play surface contained within or attached to a tower.

Bridges. 
Towers may be connected to one another via fixed bridges or chain bridges for children to walk across.

Ladders. 
Rope ladders and fixed ladders are common accessories for playsets.

Sandboxes. 
A sandbox often accompanies an outdoor playset.

Slides. 
Playground slides may be covered or uncovered.

Swings. 
Swings are usually mounted on a free-standing swing set.

Monkey bars. 
Towers may be connected by monkey bars as well as bridges.

 

Playhouses.
Another type of outdoor playground equipment is the playhouse. These are scaled-down replicas of full sized homes—much like a tree house but on the ground. They can promote a child's imagination and creativity. A playhouse may be as simple as a cutout in a cardboard box, or as complex as a permanent outdoor structure wired with electricity and running water. There are a number of companies that specialize in creating elaborate and distinctive playhouses which can be used for both commercial and private purposes.
