Finally it was decided that the play area would be set on all weather Durascape Outdoor Carpet allowing the children to use the play equipment all year round.

Headteacher Peter Dalby commented; "The school boasts a lovely big playing field which remained unused for half of the year due to weather conditions, however the Fawns play equipment has given the children a new aspect to their break times.  The project has been a great success and proved extremely popular with all the children."

"We were very pleased with the level of service provided by Fawns - they were adaptable to the demands of the children and incorporated their requests into the final design."

King Edwin School, Mansfield

With rainy days making their big open playing field out of bounds, children at King Edwin Primary School decided to put funds towards making their school field more accessible.

Following the efforts of previous school councils funds were made available to the children - and the decision was made to make their playtime more appealing - come rain or shine!

Headteacher Peter Dalby supplied the children with a series of brochures from play equipment companies, and - after shortlisting their favourites - Fawns were invited to discuss the schools requirements with both teachers and children.

The children participated in the entire decision making process and worked with the Play Consultant from Fawns to design their ideal play area. During the consultation period the children decided upon a Pirate Themed Trim Trail, which would incorporate a Pirate Traverse Wall, Scramble Net Log Climber, two Pirates Dens and a Pirate Boat.  The Trim Trail was personalised to create the Pirate Theme by utilising Fawns HDPE* panels - which allow them to produce bespoke designs and colours.
