ARE ALL HY-LAND PROJECTS SUITABLE FOR USAGE ON COMMERCIAL PLAYGROUNDS?
Yes. All Hy-land Projects are type-approved and certified by an independent test organization, TüV Rheinland. When Hy-land Projects are built according to the instructions, then each Project complies with EN 1176 : 2008. This is the European standard for playground equipment for commercial use.
ARE HY-LAND PROJECTS ALSO SUITABLE FOR PRIVATE USE?
Yes. The difference between commercial and private use is the kind of usage and the standard that comes with this. Hy-land Projects are type-approved for commercial use. This is a different standard than the standard for private use (EN 71). A Project approved for commercial use can also be installed in a backyard.
HOW DO I INSTALL A HY-LAND PROJECT?
Every Hy-land Project is a combination of Kits – Kit A, Kit B, Kit C – a standard timber package and an impressive 3-meter-slide – Hy-slide™. You can find the right combinations of Kits for a Hy-land Project in the brochure and on the website www.hy-land.euExample: Project 7 requires 3x Kit A, 2x Kit B, 1x Kit C and 1x Hy-Slide™.
The kits come with instructions to install the projects yourselves (see below), or we can supply a professional installation service.

Hy-land Projects are type-approved and certified by an independent test organization, TüV Rheinland. When Hy-land Projects are built exactly according to the instructions, then each Project complies with EN 1176, the European standard for playground equipment for commercial use. When you make alterations to Hy-land configurations, the products are no longer certified as the safety of the product can no longer be guaranteed. As a result, you will have to certify the changed product yourself by a local testing agency.
ON WHAT KIND OF SURFACE CAN I BUILD A HY-LAND PROJECT?
Hy-land Projects can be built on a paved or non-paved surface. The ground surface should be flat, so the Project is not likely to shift or move. For exact specifications we refer to the European standards EN 1176. Active Garden can supply and install any type of safer surface.
HOW DOES A HY-LAND PROJECT NEED TO BE FASTENED TO THE GROUND?
Anchor Sets for placement of a Project on a paved surface (for e.g. rubber tiles) are supplied. For placement of a Hy-land Project on a non-paved ground surface, additional Anchor Sets are available.

HOW ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A HY-LAND PROJECT?
Hy-land Projects are smartly developed so that there is minimal risk of injury. The responsible operator should inspect a Project as specified in the owner manual to keep the Project as safe as possible.
DO I NEED TO HAVE MY HY-LAND PROJECT INSPECTED?

WHAT SHOULD I DO IN CASE OF A DEFECT?
In case of a defect, the Project should be considered unsafe and secured against use until repaired.
DO I NEED THE CHECKLIST AND LOGBOOK WHEN THE PROJECT IS BEING USED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES ONLY?
