Gripsure, a leader in non-slip decking solutions, has been revolutionising the landscaping sector with its bespoke bamboo decking and cladding. Offering durability and finish comparable to hardwood, without the environmental impact, bamboo is heralded as the next step in eco-architecture, making it the perfect choice for recent projects in Lewisham and Paultons Park.

Paultons Park, a beloved UK theme park, required flooring that could withstand heavy foot traffic in all weather conditions without compromising on environmental responsibility. Gripsure's Bamboo N-Durance® and X-treme® anti-slip decking was installed throughout the park, ensuring safety and aesthetic appeal. These decks were used in queueing areas, loading platforms, an external garden walkway, and a balcony, providing safe footing for staff and visitors alike. Gripsure's bamboo decking offers longevity and sustainability, with up to a 25-year warranty, and is resistant to rotting and mould, unlike the park's previous rubber crumb solution.

A non-prescriptive form of play, the Playspaces pole climbers are fast becoming one of their most popular product types. Their innovative combination of wooden climbing frames and ropes provide a stimulating setting for children to play.

Resembling the popular children’s game ‘Pick Up Sticks’, the pole climbers’ scattered appearance and non-uniform design creates a challenging play environment for children, encouraging the development of core balance skills, coordination and overall body strength.

Children are also inspired to use their imagination while climbing, hanging or balancing, as well as thinking strategically about traversing the climbing frame. With a wide variety of sizes, styles and options there is a suitable pole climber for every play space, from Early Years upwards.
