Harrisburg, Illinois Park District purchased these tables and umbrellas for the opening of their pool in the spring of 2012. They took a unique approach of deliberately mismatching the colors of the tables and the umbrellas to make more of a festive look. The tables are covered with thermoplastic, therefore reducing the possibility of fading from direct sunlight.

This week’s 5% Friday Special happens to be a great table, perfect for your park or playground!

Check out our whole line of tables and umbrellas to find one that will fit your project!

They can be used with engineered wood fiber, shredded rubber, sand, or pea gravel surfaces. They come in 4′ lengths and the height choices are 8″, 9″, and 12″. All FunTimbers are only $30 each for a limited time (plus freight). Each timber comes with a long spike that is used to connect two timbers where they overlap each other and to fix their location in the ground. Also available are End Caps as well as ADA ramps that adapt to these FunTimbers.

As a side note, FunTimbers can also be used in a totally different function, they work extremely well when building raised bed gardens! We just bought some for our own “square foot garden” that we constructed this spring. We just applied some duct tape where they junction to keep the dirt from washing out over time. (Duct tape is unnecessary for playground surfacing since the surfacing is much more coarser than dirt.) They are the perfect size and are light and easy to work with when building your garden.

Welcome to my blog!  As you might have guessed, I sell park and playground equipment to a variety of groups.  The website should give you a pretty good idea of the product mix that I have, but it still doesn’t encompass everything.  I will be updating the site on a regular basis with new product offerings and special promotions that the manufacturers publicize as they come along.

I will also be updating this blog with helpful tips and pointers regarding the playground and recreation business.  Please feel free to send me any questions that you might have that could be of value to others.  Also, send me pictures of your projects that feature any of my products.  Consider the Before, During, and After phases of your projects so others can see your progress.

We can all learn from each other, so I welcome all questions and comments regarding playgrounds and park issues. My goal is to put the “personal touch” on the product mix that I sell which, in turn, helps you out in your decision making.  Until next time… Play On!
