DAPAL® — design, manufacturing and installation

Made-to-measure wooden play areas and indoor play structures

We create wooden play spaces for children: playrooms, indoor play structures, obstacle courses and active-play installations tailored to specific premises. Our work covers the concept and 3D design, component manufacturing, installation and preparation for use.

One space, many functions

What are a wooden play area and an indoor play structure?

A wooden play area is the entire designed play space within a venue, while an indoor play structure is usually its main active-play installation. It can include several levels, platforms, ramps, bridges, tunnels, ladders, nets, obstacles and quieter play zones.

We do not treat these projects as ready-made catalogue products. Each structure is created for a specific space, user age group, venue operation and investor expectations.

Who we work with

Wooden play areas and indoor play structures for commercial venues

We mainly work with people planning to create an attractive, durable space for children in an existing or new venue.

Play centres and playrooms

Structures designed for intensive use, a clear play layout and ongoing servicing of the facility.

Hotels, restaurants and cafés

Family areas that make a venue more attractive and help guests stay longer.

Kindergartens and nurseries

Solutions tailored to the children's age, the available space and the facility's daily routine.

Investors and designers

Support in creating a bespoke play space as part of a larger interior or venue design project.

Structure elements

What can a wooden play area include?

The scope depends on the size of the premises, room height, the children's age and the intended use. A single project can combine active play, climbing, quieter play and decorative elements.

  • an indoor play structure as the main active-play installation,
  • obstacle courses, platforms, ramps and bridges,
  • passages, tunnels, ladders and safety nets,
  • mezzanines, playhouses, panels and CNC-cut cladding,
  • a slide as part of a larger structure,
  • a ball pit or quiet play area, where included in the scope.

Made-to-measure design

A design shaped by your premises, not by a catalogue

01Space assessment

We discuss dimensions, photos, height, entrances, circulation routes, the purpose of the premises and technical constraints.

02Concept and quote

We select the functional approach, scope of work and elements that best meet your requirements and budget.

033D design

We develop the structure's layout, proportions and arrangement of its main functions. We use the 3D model as a technical and conceptual tool.

04Manufacturing and installation

Once the scope is approved, we prepare the components, arrange transport and install the structure at the venue.

Working together

How does the project process work?

You do not need a complete design at the outset. Approximate dimensions, photos of the premises, a description of your idea and the intended age group are enough. From there, we can move through the next stages: assessment, concept, quote, design, manufacturing and installation.

We agree the project scope individually. It may include design, manufacturing, transport, installation, as-built documentation, operating instructions and support with acceptance inspections, where included in the order.

  • stability and proper anchoring of the structure,
  • fall protection, nets and railings,
  • materials selected for a space used by children,
  • consideration of the requirements of PN-EN 1176 and PN-EN 1177,
  • the option to arrange an acceptance inspection or certification within the agreed scope.

Safety and standards

Designed for use, acceptance inspections and day-to-day operation

We treat safety as part of the design process, not as an afterthought. We consider stability, heights, passages, protective features, materials and how children use the structure.

Why wood

A natural, calmer alternative to plastic play areas

Wood makes it possible to create durable spaces with a warm appearance that fit modern interiors better. A wooden play area does not have to rely on randomly combined, very bright colours. It can appeal to children while also looking attractive to the venue owner and parents.

The investor's perspective

A play area that enhances your venue's appeal

A well-designed wooden play area can become the main attraction of a play centre or an important addition to a hotel, restaurant, family café or leisure venue. It helps the venue stand out, makes families more comfortable and can encourage guests to stay longer.

Key benefits
  • a clear purpose for the children's space,
  • a design that complements the interior,
  • an attraction that suits the character of your venue,
  • a solution designed for durability and servicing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about wooden play areas and indoor play structures

How much does a wooden play area or indoor play structure cost?

The price depends on dimensions, height, number of levels, the range of elements, materials, transport, installation and any documentation and acceptance inspections required. The best starting point is to send photos, dimensions and a brief description of the planned space.

Are play areas and indoor play structures made to measure?

Yes. We tailor the design to the specific premises, the children's age group, play functions, installation options and investor expectations.

Can a structure be installed in existing premises?

Yes, where the technical conditions allow it. We assess the available floor space, height, entrances, circulation routes and any elements that could affect installation.

Do you provide a 3D design?

Yes, a 3D design can be part of the process. It helps you see the functional layout, proportions and main elements of the structure before manufacturing.

Do you assist with acceptance inspections or certification?

We can prepare the structure with acceptance inspections and cooperation with an independent body in mind, provided this is included in the agreed scope. We do not automatically promise certification without defining its scope.

What information is needed for an initial quote?

The most helpful information includes room dimensions, height, photos of the premises, the intended age group, inspiration, the type of venue and the desired project completion date.
