Bridges

Our selection of playground bridges complements the natural beauty of outdoor play areas, gardens and classrooms. These structures are irresistible to clamoring little ones and are best suited for preschool age children. Some are made with recycled plastic materials but all have a natural, aesthetically pleasing look. Designed to be weather-resistant, these durable bridges can maintain their appearance for many years. The gently arched plants make for easy crossing but still provide a small challenge of balance for toddlers.

The playground bridges seen here are designed with preschool age children in mind. The built-in handrails offer an extra element of safety as young children make their way back and forth across the bridges. Additionally, their shape and slope can help improve balance and coordination in children who have just recently learned to walk. This mild challenge can foster a lot of confidence in little ones and help them in the future with bigger tasks. And those made with recycled plastic will not produce splinters or wood rot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range should I specify for a playground bridge?
Playground bridges are designed for 2-5 year olds in preschool environments. The low profile design with 6-12 inch deck heights and built-in handrails match the developmental needs of toddlers who recently learned to walk. School administrators purchasing for K-5 playgrounds need elevated bridge components that connect to larger play structures.
How much clearance space does a playground bridge require for safety compliance?
Standalone playground bridges require 6 feet of clearance on all sides per ASTM F1487 standards. Bridges that connect to other play components follow the clearance requirements of the tallest connected structure. Your site plan must include an accessible route to the bridge per ADA guidelines for surfacing and pathways.
What materials offer the best durability for outdoor playground bridges?
Recycled plastic lumber bridges resist splintering, wood rot, and weather damage without annual staining or sealing maintenance. Pressure-treated wood bridges cost less upfront but require ongoing maintenance every 2-3 years. Steel frame bridges with composite decking combine structural strength with low maintenance for high-traffic installations.
