BowTop Play is a RoSPA-compliant tubular steel railing system designed for playgrounds and recreational areas where child safety, visibility and perimeter definition are required.
BowTop Play railings are manufactured using vertical steel bars with profiled bow tops, designed to reduce climbability and minimise the risk of entrapment.
Bar and bow spacing is configured to reduce the risk of wrist and neck entrapment in accordance with RoSPA guidance for playground perimeter fencing.
The open tubular construction provides high through-visibility, enabling parents, carers and staff to maintain clear sightlines into the play area.
Gates are supplied with offset hinges and configured opening gaps to minimise finger trap risks. A self-closing gate option is available to support controlled access and automatic closure.
Panels incorporate slotted cleats to allow installation on flat or stepped ground. Mid-panel support feet are provided to improve rigidity and prevent deflection or sagging over time.
The system is designed for durability and resistance to vandalism in public environments.
