What is the difference between the Natural and Playful color options?
Natural features warm, earthy tones that blend well with wooded or nature-themed playground environments. Playful features bright, bold primary colors that stand out in urban parks, school yards, and community spaces. Both options are available with or without the roof addition. Color selection has no impact on structural features or play events.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended for commercial playground equipment of this size and weight. The Hex Hive ships with a detailed installation sheet, and UltraPlay also provides CAD drawings (2D and 3D) to assist installers with site planning. Always ensure installation is performed in accordance with ASTM and CPSC guidelines.
What safety certifications does the Hex Hive have?
The Hex Hive is IPEMA certified, meaning it has been independently tested and verified to comply with ASTM F1487 and CPSC Handbook for Public Playground Safety standards. This certification is important for parks, schools, and municipalities that require certified equipment for liability and compliance purposes.
What surfacing do I need under the Hex Hive?
The use zone for the Hex Hive is 26'3" x 30'8". You will need appropriate impact-attenuating surfacing (such as engineered wood fiber, poured-in-place rubber, or rubber tiles) covering the entire use zone to meet ASTM and CPSC safety requirements. The depth and material requirements will depend on the maximum fall height of the structure.
How is the Hex Hive shipped?
This structure ships via freight on a pallet due to its size and weight (1,800 lbs without roof, 2,300 lbs with roof). Freight shipping requires a freight quote - please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before purchasing if you need a shipping estimate or have specific delivery requirements such as a liftgate or inside delivery.
Can I get CAD drawings for site planning?
Yes. Both 2D and 3D CAD drawings are available for download in Playful and Natural color configurations. These are provided by UltraPlay and can be downloaded from the product resources section of this page to assist with site planning and permit applications.
