Metal vs Wood

Green Materials

Artemis Playgrounds offers the exclusive option to choose whether your structure is made from conditioned wood or recycled metal and plastic.

Conditioned Wood

  • Natural, organic look and feel
  • 6″ diameter, finger-jointed uprights: utilizes more of the tree with less waste
  • Ultra-smooth finish: sanded surfaces and rounded edges are smooth to the touch
  • EPA-approved wood preservative: protects against termites & fungal decay, contains no arsenates
  • Forest Stewardship Council Certified Wood: fostering sustainable forestry worldwide

Recycled Metal & Recycled Plastic

  • Durable 6″ diameter metal uprights with unique powder-coat texture that keeps surfaces cooler to the touch
  • Internal connectors offer a clean design and provide maximum strength and support
  • 100% post-consumer recycled plastic decks, roofs, and enclosures
  • Internal reinforcement for maximum strength and to eliminate sagging
  • Textured decks meet ADA requirements: superior slip resistance in wet or dry conditions
