About KSL Equipment
Fabrication Kushion Deck
 

Fully Welded Construction

  • Strong "Unit-Body" construction for durability and longer life.
  • Superior Structural Stability compared to clamp-based systems; KSL Playstructures act as "one solid piece" because the decks and handrails are welded directly to the posts.
  • No hardware means less maintenance and improved vandal resistance.
  • Safety First - KSL Design Playstructures are designed primarily with Safety in mind.
    When a child grasps a safety barrier at the entrance to a sliding pole or climber, the barrier should not move or become loose. Only a Fully Welded KSL safety barrier is rigid enough to provide safety and instill confidence.
  • Fully Welded Construction also assures a safe, unobstructed play space with no entanglement or entrapment points to cause CSA compliance issues.
  • Each fully assembled KSL Playstructure is tested for Quality and Safety before it leaves the plant.

Stainless Steel Slides

Better than polyethylene for the following reasons:

  • Superior durability, vandal resistant and less maintenance.
  • No shrinking or warping, which could lead to compliance issues.
  • Assured Safety with no gaps to cause entanglement.
  • No fading of colour.

Exclusive KSL Kushion Decks

  • Combine the slip resistance and resilience of poured-in-place rubber surfacing with the strength of a steel deck.
  • The Kushion Deck surface provides safe traction even when wet, unlike Plastisol or Poly Vinyl coatings.
  • Durable rubber deck mat inserts provides a fall height protection.

Stringer Base Installation

  • Reduced installation time (Typically one day or less!)

KSL Design is proud to announce the introduction of a new line of Playstructures featuring both Fully Welded Construction and the new KSL Kushion Deck, a revolution in playground safety!

Kushion Deck

Fully Welded Construction has historically assured Safety, Strength, Vandal Resistance and Low Maintenance.

The KSL Kushion Deck is a composite structure which combines the resilience of poured-in-place rubber surfacing with the strength of a steel deck.

Unlike normal decks, the resilience is not achieved with a thin layer of easily damaged PVC coating!

The 1/2" thick rubber mat is suspended over 1/2" tall corrugations providing an internal air-gap for a true cushioning effect!


KSL Kushion Deck Features:

Deck Construction
  • 48" Square x 2 1/2" Thick (size of standard square deck, other shapes available).
  • Sturdy galvanized steel sub-frame and perimeter with fully welded construction.
  • The durable rubber mat provides a full 7 feet (2.13 m) of fall height protection.
  • The mat is totally captivated by the full-perimeter deck frame without hardware.
  • The deck is fully welded to the playstructure uprights which completely eliminates any gaps or potential entanglement points!

The KSL Design Simplified Installation Process

Your KSL Design Playstructure arrives on site essentially completed! KSL assures that your structure is square, plum, and correctly assembled before it leaves our factory!

Slide

Thanks to the fully welded unit-body construction method, a KSL structure is stronger and more rigid than any clamp based system.

Slides

No major excavation is required and no deep post footings need to be drilled.

The sturdy stringer channel base simply sits on the graded surface.

Slide 3

Simply add protective surfacing and children for instant fun!

Remember –
Safety
and Durability are important qualities that are built into every KSL Design Playstructure!
