Indoor Playground Project Checklist



When planning an indoor playground project, the most critical factors are site conditions, logistics access, electrical requirements, installation method, and design confirmation. Missing any of these can cause delays, extra costs, or safety risks.

Key Factors to Confirm Before Production

1. Ceiling Height

  • Determines number of play levels
  • 5.5–6m height typically supports 3-level soft play
  • High slides and rope courses require more vertical clearance
  • Safety clearance must be included in calculations

2. Installation Access

  • Door width and freight elevator size are critical
  • Limited access requires modular equipment
  • Large one-piece slides may not fit through entrances
  • Poor access planning increases installation cost

3. Floor Fixing Conditions

  • Anchoring to concrete floor improves stability
  • Expansion bolts commonly used for structural fixing
  • If floor drilling is not allowed, counterweight systems are needed

4. Electrical Standards

  • North America: 110V / 60Hz
  • Europe & Middle East: 220V / 50Hz
  • Impacts LED lighting, blowers, interactive systems
  • Must be confirmed before manufacturing

5. Design Confirmation

Once confirmed, production can begin:

  • Color scheme
  • Theme style
  • Safety net colors
  • Ball pool colors
  • Decorative elements

Frequent changes at this stage delay manufacturing.

Common Missing Information

Projects are often delayed when these details are not finalized:

  • Project address
  • Consignee information
  • Installation method
  • Lighting requirements
  • Shipping marks

Risk Levels

Low Risk

  • Ground floor
  • Adequate height
  • Good installation access
  • Floor fixing allowed

Medium Risk

  • No freight elevator
  • Tight schedule
  • Partial data missing

High Risk

  • Complex upper-floor installation
  • Large non-modular structures
  • Unclear site conditions

Recommended Workflow

  1. Site measurement
  2. Layout design
  3. Technical verification
  4. Final confirmation
  5. Production
  6. Shipping
  7. Installation

Summary

Most indoor playground delays are caused by incomplete project confirmation, not manufacturing issues.
Clear early-stage planning improves:

  • Installation efficiency
  • Project timeline
  • Structural safety
  • Return on investment
