The Egerton Arms wanted to refresh its outdoor play offer to create a welcoming, family-friendly environment that encourages longer visits and repeat trade. The existing swings had reached the end of their lifespan and the space required a practical, durable upgrade suited to a pub garden setting.
The Challenge
The client needed a safe, robust play solution that would:
- Replace the old swings
- Enhance the appeal of the outdoor space
- Withstand regular use in a hospitality environment
- Require minimal ongoing maintenance
- Be installed efficiently with limited disruption
As a busy venue, timescales and practicality were key considerations.
Our solution
We removed and responsibly disposed of the existing swing set before supplying and installing:
- Junior Playtime Multi-Play Frame (timber construction)
- Mixed Bay Double Swing (timber construction)
Both units were manufactured from long-lasting timber, designed to blend naturally into the pub garden setting while delivering high play value.
For safer surfacing, we installed grass mats beneath the equipment. This provided critical fall protection while allowing natural grass to grow through, maintaining the green aesthetic of the outdoor space.
The project was completed within 3 days, ensuring minimal disruption to the venue.
The outcome
The Egerton Arms now benefits from an attractive, durable and family-focused play area that enhances its outdoor offering. The new timber multi-play frame and swing set provide a strong focal point within the garden, encouraging families to stay longer and return regularly.
The grass mat surfacing maintains a natural appearance while delivering essential impact protection, creating a practical solution perfectly suited to a hospitality setting.
