  • Steel vs wood why playbase is different

When you think of garden play equipment, your mind might immediately go to a wooden play tower or a wooden swing. And to be fair: wood often has a cosy look, it’s relatively affordable and there’s plenty of choice. But did you know that a steel frame like the BERG PlayBase scores better in lots of ways? Here’s why.

A sleek and modern design

We already said it: wood has charm. But the PlayBase has style. Its minimalist design fits perfectly into any stylish garden. It’s a timeless eye-catcher that challenges active kids – and makes parents happy too.

Steel is strong. And stays strong.

Wood is a natural material, and that shows in how it behaves. It expands, dries out, can crack or rot. You also need to maintain it if you want it to last longer. Powder-coated steel, like the frame of the BERG PlayBase, on the other hand, is always strong and maintenance-free. The BERG PlayBase is made from durable coated steel that can take a knock – or actually, a whole lot of knocks. No splinters, no cracks, no worries.

Worry-free outdoor play

A wooden playset needs treating, sanding, painting, protecting. Sounds like work, right? The BERG PlayBase is low-maintenance: just give it a quick wipe, and you’re good to go. That means more time to enjoy the outdoors – and that’s exactly what we’re here for. It lasts for years without worry and is easy to clean. And in case of scratches, you can touch it up with a paint pen – so it keeps looking great for years to come.
