BERG’s Upcoming Commercial Playbase Climbing Frame for Public Use

For decades, BERG has been a leader in designing high-quality outdoor play equipment that combines fun, safety, and durability. Known worldwide for their trampolines, pedal go-karts, and modular play systems, BERG continues to innovate.

The latest development is the BERG Playbase climbing frame for commercial and public use. Unlike domestic playsets designed for back gardens, this new Playbase will be engineered to meet all required European safety standards and built to withstand heavy daily use in schools, playgrounds, parks, and community spaces.

In this article, we’ll explain what the BERG Playbase is, why compliance matters, how it will benefit public spaces, and why this new development is exciting news for communities across Ireland.

What Is the BERG Playbase?

The Playbase is BERG’s modular climbing and play system. In the domestic market, families can choose between a range of frames and add-ons, from monkey bars and swings to nets and climbing walls.

Now, BERG is extending this concept into the commercial sector by developing a version of the Playbase designed to handle the demands of public environments.

The commercial Playbase will feature:

Robust construction for long-term durability.
Customisable modules such as climbing nets, monkey bars, rope ladders, and balance beams.
Adaptability for different age groups and play styles.

This flexibility allows schools, councils, and businesses to create unique play environments tailored to their communities.

Why Standards Compliance Is Essential

When designing equipment for public use, safety standards are non-negotiable.

Key Standards Include:

EN 1176 (Playground Equipment Standard) – covering design, installation, inspection, and maintenance requirements.
EN 1177 (Impact Attenuating Surfacing) – ensuring that fall surfaces, such as rubber tiles or bark, minimise the risk of serious injury.

By ensuring full compliance with these standards, BERG gives operators, councils, and schools peace of mind. Compliance not only protects children but also protects organisations from liability.

Benefits of the Commercial Playbase

1. Built to Last

The commercial Playbase is designed to handle high traffic, with stronger steel, reinforced joints, and weather-resistant finishes.

2. Customisable for Different Environments

Whether it’s a school playground, a community park, or a leisure centre, operators can select modules that suit their needs.

3. Promotes Active, Healthy Play

Climbing frames encourage children to develop balance, coordination, strength, and problem-solving skills.

4. Safe by Design

By meeting strict European standards, the Playbase ensures that children can enjoy themselves in a secure environment.

5. Low Maintenance

Durable finishes and thoughtful engineering reduce upkeep costs for councils and schools.

Why Public Spaces Need Commercial Play Equipment

Domestic climbing frames aren’t built for the demands of a public playground, where equipment may see dozens or even hundreds of children daily. Without commercial-grade solutions, equipment wears down quickly and safety risks increase.

The commercial Playbase solves this by offering long-term durability, easy maintenance, and certified compliance — ensuring that children across Ireland have access to safe, exciting, and inclusive play opportunities.

Applications of the Playbase in Ireland

The new Playbase will be ideal for:

Public playgrounds managed by councils.
Schools looking for durable, long-term climbing structures.
Community centres creating inclusive play spaces.
Holiday parks and leisure facilities seeking to add high-quality attractions.

Supporting Safe Play

BERG goes beyond just producing equipment. With the Playbase, they will provide:

Certification documents confirming EN 1176 and EN 1177 compliance.
Detailed installation guidance for safe setup.
Maintenance checklists for long-term safety.
Warranties and aftersales support to back the investment.

Conclusion

The launch of BERG’s commercial Playbase climbing frame marks an exciting step for public play in Ireland. Designed to withstand heavy use, fully compliant with all safety standards, and endlessly adaptable, it offers a safe and engaging play solution for communities, schools, and leisure facilities.

At Trampolines Ireland, we’re proud to bring BERG’s latest innovations to Irish families and organisations. The Playbase is more than just a climbing frame — it’s a long-term investment in healthier, happier, and more active communities.
