Description
Post Shoe
Ensure the longevity and safety of your playground equipment with our high-quality steel post shoes. These post shoes are designed to elevate timber posts above ground level, preventing direct contact with moisture, soil, and bacteria. Available for both round and square cut timbers, they provide robust support for wooden structures, offering optimal protection against rot, decay, and ground-borne damage.
By creating a gap between the timber and the ground, our steel post shoes also make surface maintenance easier—minimising the risk of damage from strimmers during grass cutting.
When considering the repairability index, timber uprights can be easily unbolted from the post shoe if ever in need of replacement—without digging, breaking out concrete, or disturbing surrounding surfaces. There’s no need to add or replace concrete in the ground, making the process quicker, cleaner, and far less disruptive. This approach not only saves time and effort but also reduces material waste, offering a more sustainable and environmentally responsible solution in the long term.
Ideal for playgrounds, parks, and outdoor recreational areas, our steel ground support ensures your wooden structures stay sturdy, safe, and low-maintenance for years to come.

Our Materials
Here at Creative Play, we manufacture our own unique range of playground equipment using a variety of different materials.
We believe that using high quality, durable materials is essential in order to create products that not only meet national safety standards but are built to last.
Timbers
All timbers are UK Pine, sourced within the UK from FSC approved suppliers and pressure treated with a chrome-free and arsenic free preservative. Round Timbers are 125mm and square timbers are 90mm, cut from the heart of the tree to reduce splitting.
Steel Core Ropes
Our ropes are polypropylene covered multi-filament (6 strand) steel reinforced 16mm ropes, secured with hydraulically pressed end connections and tamper-proof net joints. Tested safe load of 9000kg.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) (Playtec)
High spec, co-extruded polyethylene ‘Playtec’ panels. Extremely durable, UV stable ensuring it will not fade in sunshine, it is unaffected by moisture and will not delaminate. Provides structural strength and design aesthetic. Available in Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.
Playtec PCR
Coloured HDPE Playtec panels manufactured using a 100% recycled (PCR) core. UV Stable and unaffected by moisture, Playtec-PCR provides structural strength and colourful aesthetics (green, blue, red or yellow) whilst being sustainable
Chains & Fixings
Fastenings are tamper proof or capped with secure plastic tamper proof covers. Galvanised steel fixings are anti-tamper and/or torx type fixings. Designed specifically for strength and outdoor use. All footholds have a slip-resistant surface.
EkoGrip
EKOgrip provides a slip resistance material for platforms, floors and footholds. Made from robust, post-consumer recycled (PCR) material with a 2mm thermoplastic elastomer with button structure, Ekogrip provides a durable, sustainable and anti-slip component to improve safety of our playground equipment.
Hexa-Grip Board
Slip-resistant marine ply platforms and footholds are resin impregnated plywood panels coated with a brown phenolic layer, imprinted with a hexagonal pattern, providing slip resistance.
Metal Components
Steel elements are generally zinc primed and powder coated i.e. chin up bars or similar. Some items are galvanised prior to powder coating. All designed with strength, robustness and outdoor use in mind.
