Characteristics of Playground Tunnel

Playground tunnels are popular and attractive elements of children’s play areas. They provide a great place for play, exploration, and development of motor skills and coordination. It’s worth noting a few aspects characterizing playground tunnels to understand why they are so universally loved by children and appreciated by parents.

A playground tunnel often serves as a connector during movement between successive towers in playsets. In addition, it performs excellently as a standalone device. Playground tunnels are exceptionally popular among toddlers.

Installed inside an embankment on a playground, stainless steel tunnels allow children to crawl on tunnel under a heaped-up hill. A stainless steel playground tunnel is a device for movement games, hence it develops movement coordination. Above all, however, it provides a lot of joy while playing.

Playground tunnels are designed with children’s safety in mind. Their shapes are ergonomic, and the edges are rounded to eliminate the risk of injury. In addition, each DEINOX playground tube complies with the applicable safety standards from the PN-EN 1176 group.

Types of DEINOX Playground Tunnels

The most commonly implemented types by us are straight, curved, wave, 3-armed, and connected tunnels. We are open to all projects, and the only limitation can be imagination itself!

Straight playground tunnel
Straight Tunnels

They are characterized by a straight shape. A straight playground tunnel is often used as an element of a playground that allows for the connection of various structures and provides a child with a lot of fun during play.

Curved playground tunnel
Curved Tunnels

A curved playground tunnel is a more developed form of tunnel – it contains one or several additional turns – making it a greater challenge to pass through and overcome its limits.

Wave Tunnels
Wave Tunnels

An interesting option to diversify the playground is also a wave tunnel. It has an element of difficulty in the form of irregularity, which children must overcome on their way.

3-Armed Tunnels
3-Armed Tunnels

A 3-armed tunnel is an additional entrance, escape route, and extra fun for our little ones. It can be successfully used on playgrounds as a tunnel through an embankment.

Connected Tunnels

Playground tubes for children under the embankment – an ideal solution for unusual terrain!

Tunnels under the embankment are an interesting proposition for playgrounds located in areas with diversified topography, where traditional solutions may not be sufficient. The use of tunnels under the embankment enables the use of the natural topography, contributing to the creation of unique and attractive playgrounds.

However, if your playground is located on a flat area, you can diversify it and create a tunnel through an embankment by mounding it yourself!

Integration with the natural environment

Play tunnels under the embankment blend in with the natural topography, creating a harmonious and coherent whole. The introduction of such an element to the playground allows children to use the attractions in a way that reflects the character of the surrounding nature. The embankment can also be mounded on a flat area, installing a crawling tunnel underneath, which will also fit into the environment.
