Description

Play Safe Bow Top Railings are purpose-built to create a secure, child-friendly boundary for play areas, nurseries, schools, and public parks. Engineered to meet the strict anti-entrapment standards of BS EN 1176, the system ensures that the spacing between vertical infills does not exceed 89 mm—minimising the risk of head, neck, or wrist entrapment while keeping children safely enclosed.

The railings feature a smooth bow top design without sharp edges, making them ideal for environments where safety and visual softness are paramount. Constructed from durable mild steel using S275JR solid and S235JR hollow sections, the system is hot dip galvanised and optionally powder-coated in any RAL colour. Supplied with panel-to-post fixings and compliant with both BS 1722-9 and BS 1176 standards, this is a trusted solution for high-safety applications
