Frequently Asked Questions

What is the right store for a playground? The squares in the playground play an important role in the dynamics of the store, in the sustainability as well as in the profits.
It is important when we come to the store that we consider appropriate, to visit the Municipality of the area to which it belongs and to ask if it is of health interest. Do not forget that children do not come alone and parents want to drink coffee.

Caution! The store may want a change of use which has a significant cost, so it is good to check the building permit before proceeding to the next stages. In this case a good engineer can take it over and get you out of deadlocks.

Playground – What inflatable toy should I buy? Perhaps the most important part when it comes to safety is the choice of inflatable toy and inflatable toys in general.
The first question you will ask the dealer the manufacturer is whether the inflatable toy you are going to buy will be of the EN 14960 standard. This standard has been valid throughout Europe since 2006.

In Greece, it specifically refers to article 3 security requirements published in the Official Gazette BD no.1364 / 2.8.2007.

Is the trampoline dangerous? Not at all. Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications.

Trampolines are a favorite toy of children as long as the instructions are followed and the way of use is clearly stated to parents and children.

There is always the inscription on the trampoline with the instructions for use always in a visible place.

Which safety floor should I prefer? The safety floor plays an important role in the safety of children as they usually play naughtily and involve younger and older children in a common area outside the construction and inflatable.

In the long run, the best flooring and with a difference comes the foam with PVC coating of various shades with many advantages and easy to clean. This is a high-strength floor with a high degree of impact damping.

In the second category also a good floor is the puzzle but with significant cleaning problems, it receives many marks from the customers’ shoes and especially the heels which look bad on the eye.

In rare cases, rubber tile (recycled car tire) is used indoors in tile color or dark green, but due to the strong odor of the tire and difficulty in cleaning, it is avoided and widely used in outdoor areas such as municipal playgrounds.

How much space for a cafeteria and how much for a playground? If we consider that we have a store of 200 square meters, we usually choose, without being a rule, 60% to become cafes, bars, toilets that must be all together for obvious reasons and in the rest of the space to develop the toy equipment.

In the play area we have to calculate the toy construction, the inflatable toy or the trampoline, and we leave space for a baby park where only small children aged 2-4 years play.

We must not forget that children need some space for relaxation in addition to the main games so that you can have creative activities, have fun with clowns or theatrical play, etc.

When the store is bigger it gives us the opportunity to develop other games such as multi soccer, kart track, trampoline, climbing walls, air tubes, black light disco, interactive games such as electronic basketball, space for electronic games Hokey, basket and other coin operators.

In Greece, most old stores also have a loft. This is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage if we use it properly.

Usually most owners use it for a party only. In this case it is good to provide an auxiliary bar.

One store has grass and the other not which one should I prefer? Of course we prefer this with the lawn as long as we make sure with our engineer that we will get a permit from our Municipality.

We can close it in Winter to create a warm atmosphere with gas stoves or air conditioning heating. But the most important thing is that we have found the right place for smokers.

Of course it is a playground and it is not allowed but this outdoor area frees our hands from the complaints of non-smokers.

What is the right place for parties? This is where the proper study of the manufacturer with the owner must be done to decide where the party will be organized. In many cases this space must be flexible and can be easily converted into a private space.

What floor should I prefer for the cafeteria? In the cafeteria you have many options but you must keep in mind that the children leaving the play area are with their socks and so it is very easy to slip if the floor is not non-slip.

Also do not forget that liquids will fall on the floor and should be cleaned easily and quickly.

What will be avoided first is the carpet of germs and difficult to clean.

Laminate is very common but it slips a lot in children. The most effective is the synthetic vinyl floor (vinyl) which is non-slip, easy to clean and does not swell when wet.

Playground height: The shops with a high height of 5 meters have an advantage in terms of the air they have and construction we can use them better in slides, interactive games, activities and generally due to large volume more children play in the construction so greater economic benefit for the playground.
Also because we take advantage of the game in height there is more space for coffee bars, toilets.

This of course does not in any case reduce a store with a height of 3.80m or 3.20m because we can develop the toys in another layout.
