Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a plastic playground structure last compared to metal or wood equipment?
Recycled plastic playground equipment lasts 30-50 years with minimal maintenance, outlasting wood structures by 20-30 years. The plastic won't rot, splinter, or rust like traditional materials. You'll eliminate annual staining, sealing, or repainting costs that wood and metal require.
What's the weight capacity difference between plastic playground sets and metal structures?
Commercial-grade recycled plastic playground equipment supports the same weight loads as steel — typically 75 pounds per square foot for decks per ASTM F1487. The plastic lumber uses internal steel reinforcement for structural components. Your capacity depends on the specific design, not the plastic material itself.
Does recycled plastic playground equipment cost more upfront than traditional materials?
Recycled plastic structures typically cost 15-25% more initially than pressure-treated wood but 10-15% less than powder-coated steel. Your total cost of ownership over 20 years favors plastic due to zero maintenance requirements. Most buyers recover the price difference within 5-7 years through eliminated maintenance costs.
