Quick Ship

Ketchum is a commercial-grade playground installation that contains a surprising amount of exciting features in its economically designed framework. Playground designers needing to install a structure on a smaller lot will appreciate the minimal footprint of the Ketchum. Particularly helpful is how the playscape manages to include both robust physical activities with dramatic play and clever game features. A short trip up a helping Transfer Station gets kids to the unit’s central elevated platform. There they might turn towards a curious Ship’s Wheel and have their imaginations sparked. The installation instantly transforms into the deck of a sailboat on a roiling sea! Or kiddos might instead swivel behind them to play against each other in a match of wits using the Tic-Tac-Toe component or clamber down to examine the words on the Half Spelling Panel. More spirited youth will get a big kick out of zooming down the Ketchum’s Double Slide or crawling through the mysterious Tube Bridge.

We Offer Installation!

We are excited to offer installation services across most of the contiguous United States. In order to obtain a quote, please email, call, or simply add the product of your choice to a quote, fill out a little information and be sure to check the box to request installation pricing.

For installation, we require the site be level and free of debris and underlying issues that would make digging difficult.  Each customer takes responsibility for their own, site prep, permitting, and mulch/surfacing unless otherwise arranged. Site preparation information for surfacing installation available here.

Can I Install This?

The short answer is yes. We have had many customers install systems themselves with the right handy talent.  It may not go as quickly as it does for our professional installation crews, but it can be done as a budget-conscious solution for daycares, churches and apartment complexes!

Footer Options, Depending on the Product
  • In-Ground Mounting is the most common method for playground and shade equipment attachment.  This method requires digging and setting the post in concrete poured at the time of installation.
  • Surface Mount or Anchor Bolt is the attachment method where you receive special plate and bolt hardware to secure a post to a solid surface, typically concrete.
  • Ground Spike is the easiest ground attachment method where you use a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the poses in the location of your choice.  This method is not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and is only offered for a limited number of sets.
