05. KinderGate Playground Gate

Zaun’s KinderGate Self Closing Gate is manufactured to comply with BS EN 1176 for playground equipment, making it free from finger traps, crush points and shear actions that could cause injury.

The KinderGate playground gate has an invisible, built-in hydraulic gate closer that is completely built into the gate frame, providing a fully shielded gate closer that prevents vandalism. In addition, the aesthetic closing system both opens and closes the gate comfortably and features an adjustable closing speed to comply with RoSPA guidelines.

This self-closing mechanism makes the KinderGate Self Closing Gate virtually impossible to slam shut and stops the gate from bouncing back off the post when pushed hard.

An anti-trap mechanism ensures the self-closing gate and cannot swing beyond its stop point.

Available 1000mm or 1200mm high and supplied in yellow (RAL1021) or red (RAL3000) as standard (other colours are available upon request) to highlight the exit point on a playground.

The KinderGate is ideal for use around the playground, recreation areas, parks and schools.

Finish

Hot-dip galvanised to ISO1461 & optional polyester powder coated, after stringent cleaning & treatment to give a well-adhered coating with a minimum of 60 microns.

All Zaun posts/panels/gates and painted auxiliary components (for example, clamp-bars, slide bolts etc.) benefit from a protective zinc layer and electrostatically applied polyester powder coating to BS1722 p16. Care is taken with pre-treatment to ensure sound adhesion between the zinc and paint layers. In a UK C1 environment, as defined in ISO 12944 p2, this should ensure a useful life expectancy of the fence of at least 15-20 years. Life expectancy in all environments can be extended by maintaining the fencing with regular washing. Useful life will be reduced if the fencing is damaged. Any coating damage should be repaired to reduce the effect on useful life.

Enhanced painting systems such as marine coatings are also available for improved life expectancy in C2-C5M environments.
