Fun and durable slides
Jungle Gym World is renowned for the high quality, durable and safe outdoor equipment that we manufacture. This includes our excellent range of slides, manufactured to the highest safety standards. We combine fun, education and safety with affordability and the guarantee of excellent workmanship.
Educational value
Whenever a person gets to a play park, one always finds children playing on the slides. Laughter normally accompanies the sliding activities. Apart from the educational value of playing outside, slides are also excellent for helping children overcome the fear of heights. This is particularly important for their development as balanced human beings. Fear can prevent us from enjoying what life has to offer. Fear of heights can limit the career choices and places we are willing to go. If this fear is not overcome during early childhood, it normally stays and hinders people from enjoying life fully. This type of equipment is also used to teach children how to climb ladders in a safe way and builds their confidence.
Selection of age appropriate equipment
Selecting the right height for the specific age of a child is important to prevent injuries. It is for this reason we have developed several age appropriate sizes. Apart from the loose stands, we also offer durable and safe slides that can be added to a number of our climbing equipment.

We offer a wide variety of sizes to suit toddlers and primary school children up to the age of ten years. The versatility of use with several types of jungle gyms makes our steel and fibre glass slides extremely popular.

Safety
To protect your children against possible injuries encourage them to:
- Make use of the steps rather than the sliding surface to get to the top. This prevents injuries from collisions.
- Use the sliding surface to get down and not to jump as this can cause serious injuries such as broken legs or head injuries.
- To never go down the sliding surfaces while lying on their backs or stomachs. The speed together with the inability to stop leads to injuries.
- Wait their turn and not to push fellow sliders down the steps or sliding surface.
- Not to crowd around the top of the sliding surface or at the bottom.
- Not descend in little trains of people holding onto each other.
- Ensure that the previous slider has moved away from the sliding surface before attempting to descend.
- To hold on the rails while climbing the steps and to use one foot at a time.
- Never to drink cold drinks or eat sweets while sliding.
- Not leave toys and or any items on the sliding surface.
- Never use soap or any other substance to provide a more slippery surface as this will can cause them to move to fast and as a result sustain serious injuries.
- Not to use the equipment when it is warm.
- Always check for rust or sharp edges before they use the equipment.
