Draw attention to your playground immediately with the Mini Bird’s Nest Carousel. By taking a traditional merry-go-round and changing the base for a Bird’s Nest and adding some ropes, children are given an eye-catching piece of playground equipment. As children arrive at the playground they are sure to head straight for it without any pretenses. They will immediately be drawn to the ropes and the originality of the equipment.
One of the best benefits of merry-go-rounds, in general, is the socialization. Merry-go-rounds are difficult to play on by yourself. Part of the fun is trying to spin your friends as fast as you can. Children look forward to collapsing into giggling heaps as they watch the world spin in funny ways afterwards. To find that sort of community, they learn to talk to each other. They joke and figure out whose turn is next. Beyond the social benefits, children work their whole body as they hold on and run as fast as they can jumping on at the last second.
Constructed out steel and polyester, this climber is sure to last. The center-most post is an 8-inch diameter steel post with a cap to keep the elements out. Attached to it and leading to the ground are 16mm Netform ropes with high-density polyethylene fasteners. The ropes themselves are made up of 6 strands of steel and an inner fiber that are then wrapped in a cocoon of polyester fibers. The outside of the cord is then coated in a latex bonding agent. Adding the latex strengthens the rope from abrasions.
If you are already in love with this spinner, but its too big for your playground, check out the Bird’s Nest Carousel. Same great equipment made at a smaller scale.
