Marine-grade play and fitness equipment
Australia’s coastline is a harsh environment. Salt spray, sand, and intense UV can cause serious corrosion, fading, and material breakdown, compromising safety and shortening asset life. Our marine-grade specification has been developed ensuring it performs and lasts.
What is marine grade?
Marine-grade materials are engineered to resist corrosion, UV degradation, and environmental wear. Originally developed for marine applications where exposure to saltwater is constant, these materials, including 316-grade stainless steel and marine-grade aluminium, are now widely recognised as the benchmark for outdoor equipment built to last.
For playground equipment, marine-grade specifications translate directly into safer structures, lower maintenance costs, and longer service life.
Made in Australia, for the Australian climate
Every range we offer can be specified to marine-grade standard. Whether it’s included by default or available as an upgrade, we can ensure your equipment is built to withstand coastal conditions.
Our marine-grade specifications
Our marine-grade specification includes:
- All steel is hot-dip galvanised after fabrication
- Marine-grade aluminium is used throughout
- All fasteners are marine-grade stainless steel
- High-quality powder coatings with high UV ratings
- All plastics are UV stabilised
Built for every Australian climate
Marine-grade performance extends well beyond the coast.
In regions with extreme heat, marine-grade stainless steel and aluminium resist warping and thermal degradation that can compromise standard materials. In tropical and subtropical climates, where humidity and rainfall are relentless, marine-grade specifications prevent moisture-related corrosion and mould. In high-UV environments, which covers most of Australia, marine-grade powder coatings maintain colour integrity and surface protection far longer than standard finishes.
Whether the playground is on a beachfront esplanade, a school oval in the Northern Territory, or a regional park in inland Queensland, our specification is the same.
The long-term value of quality materials
Specifying marine-grade materials from the outset reduces the total cost of playground ownership. Councils, schools, and land managers benefit from lower maintenance requirements, extended equipment life, and fewer safety interventions over time.
We manufacture in Australia, design for Australian conditions, and build to the material standards that long-term performance demands.
