Product Overview
The Outdoor Standing Seesaw reinvents traditional seesaw design by incorporating a standing platform that promotes active balance training and social interaction across all ages. Unlike seated seesaws limited to children, this innovative design accommodates users aged 6 to 65+, with a maximum combined weight capacity of 200 kg that supports both child-child and child-adult play. Its dynamic fulcrum system allows controlled up-and-down movement while requiring core engagement and balance control—transforming play into functional fitness. Crafted from weather-resistant materials and adhering to ASTM F1487 and EN 1176 standards, it brings inclusive, intergenerational play to community parks, schoolyards, and family backyards. The standing design encourages active participation rather than passive riding, making it a versatile addition to outdoor spaces that blend recreation with physical development.
Features
Ergonomic Standing Platforms
Dual 45 cm x 30 cm non-slip platforms feature textured rubber surfaces that provide grip in wet or dry conditions. Each platform includes a handrail positioned at 90 cm height for stability, with padded foam grips that reduce hand fatigue during extended play. The platform edges are raised 5 cm to prevent accidental slips, while the standing area is angled slightly (5°) to promote proper posture during movement.
Adjustable Fulcrum System
A precision-engineered pivot mechanism allows smooth, controlled motion with variable resistance settings that can be adjusted by maintenance staff. The standard setting provides easy movement for children, while a higher resistance option creates a more challenging balance workout for adults. The fulcrum is enclosed in a protective housing that eliminates pinch points and reduces noise during operation.
Heavy-Duty Frame Construction
The main beam uses 60 mm diameter galvanized steel tubing with a powder-coated finish that resists rust and corrosion in outdoor environments. The frame connects to a reinforced base plate (80 cm x 60 cm) that anchors securely to the ground, preventing tipping even during energetic use. All structural components undergo 5,000+ cycle testing to ensure durability under repeated weight shifts.
Safety & Accessibility Features
Safety enhancements include rubber bumpers at the beam’s maximum height points to absorb impact, limiting vertical movement to 60 cm for controlled play. The distance between platforms (180 cm) ensures safe spacing, while the handrails feature color-coded grip zones that guide proper hand placement. The low platform height (25 cm) ensures accessibility for users with limited mobility, supporting inclusive play across abilities.
Applications
Community Parks
As an inclusive play structure, it encourages intergenerational interaction, allowing parents and children to play together while promoting active balance skills across all ages.
School Playgrounds
Physical education programs use the seesaw to teach balance, physics principles, and cooperation, with the standing design supporting older students who outgrow traditional seated seesaws.
Family Backyards
Residential families benefit from the seesaw’s versatility, providing entertainment that grows with children and accommodates adult participation during family playtime.
Fitness-Oriented Playgrounds
Parks designed with active play in mind incorporate the seesaw as a functional fitness element that improves balance, core strength, and coordination through play.
FAQ
What age range can use the standing seesaw safely?
The Outdoor Standing Seesaw is designed for users aged 6 to 65+ years old. Children aged 6-12 can use it independently, while younger children (4-5) should be supervised by adults. Its maximum combined weight capacity of 200 kg accommodates adult-child pairs for intergenerational play.
How does the standing design differ from traditional seesaws?
Unlike seated models, the standing design engages core muscles and balance systems during use, transforming play into active exercise. It accommodates older children and adults who have outgrown traditional seesaws, promoting inclusive play across broader age ranges.
What installation requirements ensure safety?
Installation requires securing the 80 cm x 60 cm base plate to a concrete foundation using 4 anchor bolts (included). For residential use in grassy areas, a concrete pad (minimum 100 cm x 80 cm x 15 cm depth) is recommended. Professional installation is advised for public spaces to ensure proper anchoring.
How does the seesaw accommodate different weight combinations?
The adjustable fulcrum system allows resistance calibration to balance different weight pairings (e.g., child and adult). The pivot point design distributes weight evenly, with the beam’s structural integrity supporting up to 120 kg on one platform and 80 kg on the other.
What maintenance is required for outdoor durability?
Monthly maintenance includes checking all connections for tightness and inspecting handrails for wear. The pivot mechanism should be lubricated quarterly with silicone-based lubricant, while the steel frame requires annual inspection for rust—with touch-up paint provided for minor surface corrosion.
