Caledonia Play installed the following:
Tree Deck Structure
The sloping ground informed the design of the tree deck structure, with a lower deck (1.5m high) and a higher deck (2.1m high) connected by a bridge.
• Robinia timber was chosen for the platforms as the timbers retain the shape and bends of the tree - ensuring a natural look.
• The sub-frame is constructed with machine-rounded high quality soft wood for strength and durability.

Camphill case study
The project was developed to provide the residents of Camphill, who are young adults that require additional support and learning needs, outdoor play equipment to help them to gain confidence and experience of different forms of spacial awareness.
The objective was to design twin tree decks in a sympathetic manner with the local historic building and surroundings, including several special trees with preservation orders.
As the project scope evolved, additional elements were added to the design to provide a wide range of activities for the young adults.
