So, you’ve noticed your playground equipment coating(s) needs inspection and some re-painting.
Here’s what you you should know before you call out a handyman or residential painter.
Your playground equipment and it’s proper maintenance is a safety issue and a potential liability so you want to maintain the surfaces well. You will want to make sure the painting related repairs and touch-ups are done correctly. You need a contractor who is knowledgeable and has experience.
Surfaces that may look like regular paint to you are not regular paint.
Most of the upright surfaces such as poles, bars, foot holds, and connection parts are a two part, two component very durable factory finish. A regular single component metal paint will not perform or hold up the way a two part / two component paint will.
The walking surfaces are not paint but are a highly durable specialty coating made to protect the metal underneath and make the equipment a safer environment for kiddos. These surfaces can be patched with a similar material.
We can help you with your playground equipment painting needs.
If you have more serious needs or concerns, you should use a Certified Playground Safety Inspector to help your association or property navigate state requirements.

Do perform and document periodic inspections of your commercial playground equipment’s coatings.
The walking surfaces where worn need to be cut back. The metal needs to be cleaned, treated and primed with a rust inhibitive primer before the walking surface coating is touched up.
