Solar panels
|
Green energy – solar panels in FreeKids equipment The interest in eco-friendly power generation stems from the growing awareness of the society and the will to save the natural environment and to use natural resources in a sustainable way. To meet these needs, we have created a collection of equipment with solar panels, which produce electricity when exposed to sunrays. The panels do not require connection to external power supply. They create an integrated equipment that charges an internal battery throughout the day. When it is getting darker, a dusk sensor automatically turns on LED lighting that illuminates the playground for the next 3 hours. |

Safety and certificates
Users’ safety is our priority
All the accessories for playgrounds and outdoor gyms are designed in accordance with the current PN-EN 1176 standards. The standards ensure that our equipment is safe and functional.
It is crucial to choose proper shock-absorbing surfacing for the playground. Use the table below to select proper material and thickness in accordance with the standard.
| Material | Grain size | Minimum thickness | Critical fall height |
|---|---|---|---|
| mm | mm | m | |
| turf/soil | not applicable | not applicable | ≤ 1,0 |
| bark | 20 to 80 | 200 300 |
≤ 2,0 ≤ 3,0 |
| wood chips | 5 to 30 | 200 300 |
≤ 2,0 ≤ 3,0 |
| sand | 0,2 to 2 | 200 300 |
≤ 2,0 ≤ 3,0 |
| gravel | 2 to 8 | 200 300 |
≤ 2,0 ≤ 3,0 |
| synthetic surfacing | not applicable | acc. to the technical description of the surface |
