Bovington Primary Academy, located opposite the world famous Tank Museum in Dorset (where we’ve also installed 2 fantastic huge play tanks a few years ago), asked us at Rhino Play if we could replace their much loved & rotten play tank, as part of our vehicle transport play category, situated at the front of the school by the road.
As always at Rhino we love to be able to offer that something different & we also love to recycle & re-use parts too wherever possible.
We recycled the existing stainless steel gun barrel into our new design, but created a much more interesting & interactive play tank that was there originally.
The play tank consists of:
All in all this tank offers such amazing play value in such a compact little unit, measuring around 5m x 3.5m. It’s low level fall height also means that it can sit on grass as its safety surfacing.
Ensuring that a school has the best playground design in line with their budget requirements is something we pride ourselves on here at Rhino Play. This compact but clever play tank design includes a wide range of playing styles i.e crawling, climbing, balancing and more, and encompasses a wide range of social and interactive aspects as part of the design.
If you fancy having this in your school or attraction, or would like us to design something to suit your playground theme, please contact us today at info@rhinoplay.co.uk.
