Super Fast Swings Service At Ashill, Cullompton – January 2023

We were recently awarded the contract offered by Uffculme Parish Council, to provide a set of swings for their rural parish play area at Ashill, near Cullompton, Devon. The council chose Rhino Play for a number of reasons, and provided us with the order in January 2023.

Turning Stock Availability Into A Rapid Solution

Having previously manufactured a set of Double Swings with steel feet for stock, and having the seats, hardware, and safety surfacing already in stock, along with a gap in the schedule due to a site not being ready for us, we duly turned this project around within just 1 week.

Not every project requires a full bespoke manufacturing lead time. Where stock equipment is available and ready to go, we’re able to move from order to installation far faster than a typical made-to-order build, which was exactly the case here.

The Benefits of This Setup for Uffculme Parish

• Fast turnaround – using stock equipment meant the council avoided the wait typically associated with a bespoke build, with the whole project completed within 1 week.
• Durable steel-footed frame – steel feet offer a strong, long-lasting fixing compared with timber, suited to outdoor rural sites that see varied weather conditions.
• Safety surfacing included – having safety surfacing ready in stock alongside the swings meant the full installation, not just the equipment, could be completed quickly and to a consistent standard.
• Low-maintenance play value – swings require minimal upkeep once installed, making them a practical choice for parish councils managing play areas without dedicated on-site maintenance teams.
• Suitable for a range of ages – a simple, well-loved piece of equipment that continues to see use across different age groups within the community.

What the Client Said

Needless to say the council were all truly delighted, and have expressed their delight with us as follows:

“I just wanted to provide a little feedback. The Council have been very impressed with how this project has gone. From the quotation, to acceptance and very swift installation – excellent service.”
