How To Create Customized Soft Combination Slide Equipment?

Have you ever thought that when children play on the slide, they are not just playing, but also developing their athletic ability, social skills and creativity? Especially soft combination slides, they are not just slides, but also a "play kingdom" full of creativity and challenges. Today, let's talk about how to create a customized soft combination slide equipment that is safe and fun, meets the needs of children, and adapts to the space and theme of different venues.

 

1. Clear goals and needs

Before creating a customized soft combination slide, the first thing to be clear is what is the use goal of the slide equipment? Are you going to add an entertainment project to the family's backyard, or design a new play area for a children's playground or school? Different scenarios and user groups determine the direction of the design.

 

Age group: The design of the equipment should be adjusted according to children of different ages. Preschoolers need lower, wider, and softer slides to ensure safety; while older children can use slightly more challenging equipment, such as steeper slides or facilities with interactive functions such as crawling and jumping.

 

Space size: Design the scale of the slide according to the size of the venue. If the space is small, you can choose a mini version of the soft combination slide; for large amusement areas, you can design a variety of combinations to increase interactivity and fun.

 

2. Choose materials and structures

The material selection of the soft combination slide directly affects the durability, safety and comfort of the equipment. Generally speaking, the main materials used for soft slides are:

 

EVA foam: This material is light and soft, suitable for use as the sliding surface and bottom support of the slide. EVA foam has good impact resistance and can effectively prevent children from getting hurt when they slip.

 

PVC wrapped fabric: In order to increase durability, the outside of the slide is usually wrapped with PVC fabric, which is not only wear-resistant and durable, but also can be designed in a variety of colors to attract children's attention.

 

Stainless steel or steel structure: For some fixed support structures, the use of stainless steel or steel can increase the stability of the slide and ensure that it can withstand the weight and frequent use of children.

 

3. Design creativity and function

The charm of customized soft combination slide equipment is that it can be creatively designed according to the theme of the venue and the needs of children. In addition to traditional slides, designers can add more features and elements to make the equipment more challenging and interactive:

 

Multifunctional combination: Slides can be combined with other amusement equipment, such as climbing frames, swings, trampolines, etc., to design a diversified play area. In this way, children can carry out a variety of different activities in one device to increase the fun of playing.

 

Different shapes and colors: The shape of the slide is no longer limited to the traditional straight line or spiral, and can be designed in a variety of forms such as curved and wavy to increase the visual interest. In addition, the choice of color is also important. Bright colors can attract children's attention and enhance the overall atmosphere of the playground.

 

Safety design: Safety is the most important consideration when designing a customized slide. The edges of the slide should avoid sharp angles and adopt a sleek design to prevent children from getting hurt. For equipment such as climbing frames, ensure that the height and width of the handrails are suitable for the child's palm to prevent the child from falling.

 

Adjustability: Some equipment can be designed to be adjustable to accommodate children of different ages and physical levels. For example, the slope of the slide can be adjusted, and the more challenging parts can be designed for older children to increase the personalized experience.

 

4. Modular design

Modular design is another important feature of soft combination slides. It allows designers to flexibly combine and disassemble equipment according to the size and needs of the space. The benefits of modular design are:

 

Flexibility: You can adjust the length and position of the slide according to the layout of the playground, and even reconfigure the equipment according to the season or activity theme.

 

Easy to maintain: If a module is damaged, you can directly replace it with a module without dismantling the entire device, which greatly reduces the cost of maintenance.

 

Easy to relocate: If the amusement equipment needs to be moved to another place, the modular design makes it very convenient to disassemble and relocate.

 

5. Safety and environmental protection

Finally, when creating a customized soft combination slide, environmental protection and safety must be taken into account. The materials of the equipment must meet international safety standards to avoid the release of toxic substances. At the same time, ensure that the surface of the slide is smooth and thorn-free, and avoid sharp objects and gaps to avoid hurting the child's skin.

 

In addition, the selection of soft materials should focus on environmental protection, avoid using materials containing harmful chemicals, and ensure that children will not be exposed to any harmful substances during play.
