Trampolines are the best way to ensure that your little one has hours of fun in the garden. They’re a staple of children’s toys, and they’re terrific for your child’s development and adventurous spirit. They are one of the easiest and best ways to keep your kid active, especially over school holidays. More than that, trampolines are fun at any age. Parents, older siblings and the entire family can join in the fun. As a parent, your main concern when you get a trampoline would be to make sure that the kids have fun without anyone getting hurt.

When you purchase and set up your child’s trampoline, they will be excited and ready to jump on. But kids have to be a little careful around them. As much fun as they are, trampolines can be dangerous to kids if they are too young for it. At Plum Play, we design all our equipment with safety in mind. Read below to understand the age restrictions for kids on our trampolines and how to make sure your little one has a safe and fun time.

5 Tips To Take Care Of Your Trampoline

8th April 202225th April 2022Plum Play

A good family trampoline is a long-term investment. Without proper care and maintenance, however, your trampoline start to wear , no matter how expensive or durable it is. You must take adequate trampoline care to ensure that your trampoline remains in safe working order.

If you’ve recently purchased your first trampoline or are curious to find out how to extend your family’s trampoline lifespan, you may be wondering what trampoline care entails. How can you get the best out of your kid’s favourite toy? When we talk about trampoline maintenance, we’re talking about a series of modest tasks that you should follow from the beginning of the trampoline set up to the end. Those phases include things such as correctly installing the trampoline, doing frequent inspections, and cleaning the trampoline, among others.

1. Find the right location

You may believe that because you have a robust trampoline, you can put it anywhere in the backyard as long as there is sufficient space. In truth, you are not entirely incorrect. However, it would be preferable to find a shaded spot with level ground. Even ground is ideal for setting up the structure on which the trampoline is situated. As long as the frame is properly installed, your family will have excellent fun jumping and enjoy a long trampoline lifespan.

Even though most top-rated trampolines have UV-protected mats and other materials, if the trampoline is kept in the sun without care, the sun will eventually cause the mat to wear. That’s why we usually advise choosing a shaded location. This being said, try to stay away from areas with trees or tree branches that are too close. This will stop debris and leaves from falling into your trampoline, also you don’t want your kids bumping their heads as they try to jump as high as they can.

2. Store your trampoline

If you are convinced that you will not need your trampoline over the winter, disassemble it and store the parts in a safe location. When dismantling some components, it’s best to remove the net, jump surface, springs, and safety pad while leaving the poles and metal frame in the yard. Even though trampolines Australia wide aren’t usually exposed to snow, we do still experience heavy rain and winds, so storing your trampoline during the colder months can help to protect it.

3. Protect from the wind

A strong storm or strong wind might badly destroy your trampoline. To make the trampoline stable, you’ll need ground anchors, which are like wind stakes. They are inexpensive, but they lessen the risk of your trampoline blowing away. It will strengthen the trampoline by securing it to the ground. You can also use sandbags to protect the frame from the elements too.

4. Invest in a good trampoline cover

A trampoline cover is an essential piece of equipment for maintaining the trampoline throughout the year. If you can’t locate a shady spot to put up your trampoline, a cover might help protect your trampoline from the sun. You may cover your family’s trampoline in the rain to prevent water from entering as well. There are a few things to consider when it comes to using cover in the winter. Trampoline covers may allow moisture to collect beneath them, causing your trampoline springs or frame to corrode. If you use a cover in the winter, you must remove it from time to time to allow moisture to evaporate naturally.

5. Replace the parts when necessary

If you take proper care of your trampoline, it will serve you well for a long time. If any parts, such as springs, become rusted or the jumping mat is ripped, you should repair them immediately. Alternatively, if you’re still inside the warranty term, make a claim as soon as possible. If you ignore a problem because it is minor, that minor problem could result in a significant loss in the long run. Take action when necessary.

Take care of your trampoline

Your family deserves the best, and here at Plum Play, we have a superb range of safe and durable trampolines Australia will love. With quality products, though, still comes quality maintenance, and with the right amount of care, you can make your trampoline last throughout your children’s pivotal jumping and playing years.

6 Ways You Can Customise Your Swing Set

8th April 202225th April 2022Plum Play

The best backyard swing sets share a few characteristics: they’re made from high-quality materials, have been excellently constructed, have the best safety features, and come equipped with exciting activities. Here at Plum Play there is no shortage of add-ons! Whether you are searching for a swing set or looking to add on to an existing backyard playground, customising your kid’s swing set is going to make outdoor play even more of a thrill. Your kid’s will adore you for it!

From monkey bars to rope ladders, here’s our rundown of the best and most loved swing set accessories you can find to help customise your kid’s swing set.

1. Monkey bars

The monkey bars are an essential item that is often a kid’s favourite. They’re popular among parents because they help their children build upper-body strength. Whether you choose traditional monkey bars or double-wide monkey bars, they should be made of steel rungs and a solid wooden frame. A set of monkey bars may transform an ordinary backyard swing set into something spectacular in no time.

2. A second slide

If your family is like many others, the slide is one of the most sought-after playground activities. Day after day, the kids take turns swooshing down, and there’s even a line at family birthday parties! Why not add a second slide if this seems familiar? There is no better way to personalise your swing set than this. You can accomplish this by adding another slide of the same size and kind, or by mixing it up by selecting a new size. It all depends on the type of swing set you have and how much money you have to spend. If you’re looking to give your kids’ playset an upgrade in the future, this is a terrific choice to keep in mind.

Our jumbo rope ladder swings from side to side, too, making it a fun new way for kids to explore their play equipment.The Plum rope ladder has chunky, solid wooden rungs and super soft poly hemp ropes, which help little fingers and hands hold on tight.

4. A playhouse

A clubhouse is a popular hangout spot for youngsters since it provides them with the “kids-only” space they’ve always wanted (think back to all those forts in the living room and those hideouts in the yard). The lower playhouse is usually enclosed, except for a doorway and windows; this little space often adds to the excitement of the playset. Add-on a playhouse to your kid’s swing set to create the perfect playful oasis to encourage your kids to play outside more.

5. Nest swing

Give your children some extra fun with a Premium Metal Nest Swing, perfect for gliding through the air or sitting back and relaxing too. Kids love a two-person swing where they can swing together and play make-believe. Whether they’re making shapes out of the clouds or pretending to pioneer a flying ship, your kids will love the addition of a nest swing.

6. Glider nest swing

Our Glider Nest Swing is a versatile addition to any swing set! Whether you’ve got one user or two, the glider nest swing can function as a two person glider or a one person hammock. Perfect for playing and relaxing! The removable padded seats can add extra comfort, and the padded handlebars and frame provide added protection. We also have options with teal and lime hangers!

7. Growing baby swing seat

If you’ve got an infant who’s growing faster than you can keep track of, you probably need our 3-in-1 Growing Baby Swing Seat! This versatile seat has three different assembly methods to suit babies, toddlers, and children. Simply remove the t-bar and back rest as your child gets larger and more comfortable on the swing. This is the perfect accessory to help your child develop confidence in their body as they grow.

8. Extra toys

We’re sure your kids will agree that the more, the merrier when it comes to toys. Adding a few more gadgets to your swing set is a terrific way to improve it.

What Makes Plum Play Swing Sets Safe for Babies?

18th March 202225th April 2022Plum Play

What makes a baby swing safe? Should we make all swings from wood? Can you put a baby swing set in your backyard? These are questions that many parents ask when they are looking for the perfect way for their baby to play. Swings are a great way for babies to get exercise, and they can provide hours of fun! In this blog post, we will discuss the different factors that go into making a Plum Play baby swing set safe. With a Plum Play baby swing set, parents can have peace of mind. Their children are riding a quality swing set, with safety standards at the centre of its design.

What Material Should Baby Swings Be?

The material we make baby swings from is the most important factor when it comes to safety. It is best to choose a wooden swing set, as this material is reliable, safe, and durable. Plum Play has a range of wooden swing sets to suit your needs. We even stock a baby swing set that grows with your child! We also have our 2-in-1 metal swing set. This is made from powder coated steel, which ensures full protection against rust.

At Plum Play, we test all our products against the relevant European Safety Standards. Our products follow or exceed EN71-1, 2, 3 and 8. They also meet or exceed REACH chemical standards. REACH is a European regulatory body. Its full name is Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. What does complying with these standards and regulations mean in layman’s terms? We make our products from materials that are, at minimum, non-toxic and non-flammable. We also use FSC certified, sustainable sources of timber. You can rest assured your new products are environmentally conscious as well as safe.

What Makes A Baby Swing Safe To Use?

A good baby swing will have a safe seat for the child. A high back and harness is essential. We design our baby swing seats with a T-bar front, so your infant has something to hold on to while they’re having fun. Our wooden growing swing set also has an adjustable lap belt. This has a clip fastening, which doesn’t only make your baby safer. It also makes it easier to get them in and out of the swing!

How Can I Make My Baby Swing Safer?

It is important to make sure that you concrete your swing set into the ground. This will help prevent it from tipping over if someone pushes or swings too hard. Plum Play recommends that new owners concrete all our swing sets into the ground. This is necessary to follow Australian safety standards. All Plum Play baby swing sets come with the hardware and ground anchors to secure your set with ease.

How Do You Anchor Metal Swings?

18th March 202225th April 2022Plum Play

Playing on metal swings is some of the most fun you can have as a child. That’s why we ensure our swing sets are extra safe! Anchoring your swing set is crucial. Read on for our guide to securing your swings with ease. With these tips, you’ll be able to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your kids for years to come!

As a parent, your main concern is that your backyard swing set is safe. Anchoring the legs in concrete is a simple and effective way to make sure of that. Grass is a nice padded surface to land on should you fall or jump from the swing. It doesn’t provide ideal stability though. Swinging will give the set momentum, especially if there is more than one child playing at once. If it rocks back and forth too much, the set might tip. This is why we recommend concreting.

What Do I Need to Anchor My Metal Swing Set?

Plum Play metal swing sets come with all the necessary materials for anchoring. These include anchoring plates, stakes, screws, nuts, bolts, and bolt covers. Always use the manufacturer’s recommended ground anchors. If circumstances prevent you from doing so, use replacement anchors from Plum Play.

Make sure that you have all the tools needed before assembling. You won’t need much except for a wrench, hammer, shovel, and drill. You will need to buy some concrete, and it’s useful to have a post hole digger. Your shovel will suffice if you don’t have one, though. You might also need a tape measure.

How Do I Anchor My Metal Swing Set?

Begin this process by marking the position of your swing set legs. An easy way to do this is to tap stakes into the ground where you intend for each of the swing set legs to go. This is most useful if you’re using a post hole digger. If you’re not, any other method of marking will suffice.

Next, dig a hole about 20cm deep and 25cm wide. You should position these holes so that they’ll be on the inside of each of your swing set’s legs. If you’re using a post hole digger, put it over the stakes you’ve inserted into the ground. Take a handle in each hand, lift it up, and slam it down into the ground. Pull out the handles and the blades of the digger will collect dirt. Wrench the digger out of the ground, then release the handles to dispose of the dirt. Repeat this until you have the right amount of holes to match the number of swing set poles.

If you’re using a shovel, dig the holes the traditional way. Make sure they’re somewhat uniform in size, so the finished product looks nice.

Now you need to fill these holes with concrete. Take a 20kg bag and pour it into a wheelbarrow, or another suitable container. Add the amount of water recommended by the manufacturer and stir with a shovel. Make sure there are no dry bits left over. Shovel concrete into each of the holes you’ve dug and smooth it over with a trowel.

At this point, you can take the ground anchors provided and insert them into the concrete. Push them in at a 45° angle to their corresponding swing set legs. Once they’re secured in place, you can leave the concrete to set overnight. If you roughed the wet concrete up while inserting the ground anchors, smooth it over.

The next day, you can attach your ground anchors to your swing set’s legs. You can do this with chains, straps, rope, or the hardware provided with your Plum Play metal swing set. Once you’ve done this, your swing set is ready to enjoy! The combination of ground anchor, secure strap, and concrete will keep your kids safe.

Where Can I Buy Metal Swing Sets in Australia?

Plum Play stocks a great range of metal swing sets. This includes single swings, double swings, nest swings, and more! Check out our 5-Unit Metal Swing with Slide for a premium play experience.

Each one of our swing sets comes with the necessary materials for anchoring. We make a commitment to keeping playtime as fun and safe as possible. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of Plum Play products, we are always happy to help.

3 Tips To Position Your Australian Trampoline

2nd March 202223rd April 2022Plum Play

Trampolines are the best way to guarantee hours of fun and garden play for your child. A staple in childrens’ toys, they’re a great investment for aiding the development and adventurous streak of your child, while allowing parents and the whole family to join in on the fun.

But what are the considerations for parents when purchasing and setting up their child’s new trampoline? Keep reading to find out.

1. Choose Safe Australian Trampolines

There are a number of things to consider when purchasing a trampoline for your child. For one, the safety features included. This is super important to any parent wanting to ensure the safety of their child when playing with outdoor equipment. To us, safety isn’t child’s play, it involves the best quality, ethically sourced materials, made to protect little hands and feet.

At Plum Play, we value the safety and enjoyment of your child above all else. This is why we are committed to going above and beyond to deliver the highest quality. Engineered to deliver the best bounce, and the greatest level of fun, our trampolines are designed using Springsafe® technology to facilitate your little one’s bounce-time in the safest manner possible.

Plum trampolines are secured with extra safety measures so that your bundle-of-joy can bounce while you sit back and relax. These features include additional padding around the frame of trampolines, shorter springs for a more controlled bounce, soft-grip handles for tiny hands, and netting to keep them from falling and tumbling, making sure they’re nestled in the cocoon-like barrier between them and the trampoline.

The second thing to consider when choosing your child’s first trampoline is the maximum weight it holds. For older children, you want to go for the largest weight option. For toddlers and small children, a smaller weight capacity is preferable.

Lastly, you want to go for the trampoline best suited to the age range of your child, and pay close attention to the minimum user age in the description. When it comes to Plum Play products, toddlers may require the Junior Bouncer Trampoline, made with children 18+ months in mind.

Tweens and young teens desire a greater challenge to their smaller counterparts, and we may have just the thing you’re looking for. Accessories are the best way to customise your trampoline so it can continue to grow with your kids. We recommend the Trampoline Accessory Kit, Bowl Freebound Trampoline and the 14ft SpaceZone Springsafe® Trampoline, for bigger kids, looking to up their bounce game, while still maintaining a sense of safety.

2. Find Safe Trampoline Positions

Concrete is a big no-no when positioning your child’s new trampoline in the backyard. A concrete surface under their trampoline means that with every bounce, their precious feet and legs will graze the cement. This doesn’t only cause a racket and put your child at risk, but it can compromise the lifespan of your trampoline. If you are going to go with the concrete ground, make sure there’s something soft your kid has to land on if they are to fall out of the netting.

You may decide to position the trampoline on wood instead, but this still isn’t ideal. Prevent any scrapes and bruises by adding some extra cushioning to the legs, outside the entrance, such as rubber. Trampolines like the 4.5FT Junior Trampoline & Enclosure – Stardust come with padded safety pads that shield the springs and frame.

Direct ground is good, but just be aware of chemicals in the soil that could spur on the rusting process in the trampolines’ legs. Luckily, our trampolines are made with durable materials designed to withstand most weather conditions and prevent premature rusting.

3. Place The Kids’ Trampoline Wisely

All parents know that, at times, kids can have a seemingly endless supply of energy. And we, as parents, can sometimes struggle to keep up. But it’s important we stay on top of any possible hard objects in the garden, before our little ones can find the time to charge into them. Make sure their trampoline is a reasonable distance from bricks, rose bushes, tools, wires and branches. Sloping ground is another obstacle to look out for, and overhead surfaces can pose another problem, so make sure to measure the clearance space above the trampoline.

Now that you’ve got your checklist for childrens’ trampoline safety, your kid can go out and jump to their heart’s content.

One of the leading providers of quality, ethical and sustainable toys for over 30 years, Plum Play products are made with care in the UK.

5 Accessories That Can Be Added to Your Swing Sets

2nd March 202225th April 2022Plum Play

Bring the park to your back garden with Plum Play. Swings are the ultimate outdoor toy for fun in the sun and reaching for the sky, so they can swing into life with confidence. They’re suitable for kids of all ages from babies to pre teens, as you can purchase different swing sets specific to their age range and size. Let their imaginations roam free while honing their coordination skills, balance and strategic thinking. They’ll be rewarded for the extra effort they put into each swing by going higher, and they can control the height they reach by adjusting the momentum to what feels comfortable and safe to them. Swinging also allows young ones to coordinate their movements and practice a physical activity.

1. A Growing Baby Swing Set

They’ll be ecstatic and giggling all afternoon in the 2-IN-1 Baby swing seat. This delightfully colourful outdoor swing set is the perfect starter swing, to get your baby or toddler swinging with ease. Everyday is an outdoor adventure with this sturdy swing, which grows with your little one as it can easily convert from a toy suitable for babies, to toddlers, to children. Suitable for 12 months and up, it sports chunky polyhemp ropes which are soft and kind on tiny hands. All the better to play with! Even better, the growing swing seat has a comfortable back rest and t-bar front support adjustable lap seat belt for additional snugness and security.

Get them on their way with this durable baby-friendly swing, made with safety and comfort in mind, and they’ll be swinging up, up and away! Allow them to engage in self directed play, with peace of mind, as this cleverly-designed outdoor play set instinctively inspires children to be active.

Swings can be exchanged with rope ladders, or swap baby swing seats for a glider; adding extra hours of use and energy-burning fun to playtime. This particular swing is compatible with wooden swing sets, Lookout Tower with Swings and Climbing Pyramid with Swings.

2. Childrens’ Climbing Frames

Climbing, like many things in life, can be broken up into two categories: physical and mental. A climbing frame will help children develop both; however, they tend to focus more on the physical element. Climbing requires your child to use muscles such as those in their arms, legs and even core (in some cases). It’s a great way to help strengthen their muscles so they grow up to be strong adults.

These activities can also improve your child’s coordination. That sounds simple, but the ability to coordinate the right movements at the right time takes practice. It can take several years for babies and young children to master this skill, and encouraging safe climbing practices (with the right equipment and supervision) encourages them to climb and play more. Plum Play swing sets can become even greater with climbing frame accessories to customise your swing set to really make your kids’ climbing frame unique and their own adventure!

3. Swing, Climbing Frame and Trampoline Mat

While we want our little ones to be able to play independently, we also want to ensure our garden remains intact. A Plum Play protektamat does just that, adding that extra padding in the area under your swings, climbing frames and trampolines, gives safety and protection at all times. Get one or get a couple, depending on the space you’re trying to cover.

4. 2-Seat Glider

Double up on the fun with this Double Glider. With adjustable height capabilities, comfortable moulded plastic seats, foot grips and handlebars for little hands to grip on, the 2-Seat Glider is the ideal swing accessory. Made with galvanised steel, this outdoor accessory play set can withstand rainy days and high temperatures. It’s compatible with round pole swing sets, which you can also find on the Plum website.

These trampoline based activities will have you set for school holidays, play dates and weekends. Some games they can engage with independently and some are great for parents to get involved with. You can ensure the safety of your child parkating in these games by investing in a good quality kids trampoline with net or safe trampoline with additional safety features. Plum Play has a range of Junior Trampolines and Premium Trampolines built with tons of safety details for added precaution.

You can find plenty of trampolines with nets and enclosures on our website. The Bowl Freebound Trampoline is a fantastic option for outdoor games and one of the best 14 ft trampolines on the market. With its curved shape designed to maximise functionality and form, this is the ultimate thrill-seeking experience. The freebound traditional flatbed trampoline is still there, but the bowl trampoline is revolutionised with the curved track. Not only will they be bouncing off the walls, but your little one will remain secured inside at the same time. If it’s been approved by an Olympian athlete, then you can be assured that it’s got to be good! The 8ft SpaceZone Springsafe Trampoline is also an incredible option that makes for bouncing heaven. Complete with Springsafe™ technology, they can play any game they want without tripping or hurting themselves. Now let’s jump right into the games.

1. Catch and Bounce

Got a tennis ball lying around? Perfect! That’s all you need to increase the bounce level in your backyard. A ball-based game, it requires youngsters to time their bounce so that they catch the ball in the air. A 2 person game, it requires one person to stand outside the trampoline and one to be the catcher inside, meaning it’s a great opportunity for parents to get involved as the thrower. Your child can accumulate points for each catch won out of 10.

2. Piggy in the Middle

The fun doesn’t stop there! A throwback on a classic childhood game with a twitst, this fun-filled activity requires three players: one being the piggy in the middle of the trampoline, and the two others positioned on either side of the trampoline from outside. The players outside of the trampoline then take turns passing the ball between one another, as the child inside attempts to catch the ball.

3. Bounce to The Beat

This is a game of timing, coordination and expertly refined jumping skills! Plug in your device to some speakers or crank up your phone on loudspeaker and play some of your favourite tunes. This bouncing version of the capture the treasure game we played as kids, it makes for an exciting party game. Children can jog about the perimeter of the trampoline while music plays and when the parent yells “bounce”, they must bounce to the beat of the song. Anybody who is still standing when the music stops or the song changes is ‘out’, and those left standing are the winners.

4. Trampoline Basketball

Just like it sounds, a basketball net for your trampoline will allow your little basketball start to shoot hoops while bouncing up a storm. Take a look at our Basketball Hoops and Accessories, such as the Trampoline Accessory Kit and Trampoline Basketball Kit. A trampoline with basketball hoop is your ideal year-round trampoline game and is great for slightly bigger kids aged 6 years and older. Find out which family member is the sharpest shooter, with this trampoline basketball hoop designed to be enjoyed by the whole family.
