Safety

Here at Active Garden we strive to provide a safe play environment for children in their gardens. To this end we only stock products that meet all the relevant safety standards that apply to the product. As most of our products are designed as toys they have to carry the CE mark and therefore comply with relevant safety standards. For Garden play equipment these include EN 71, BS5665 and the Toy safety regulations 1995. The products we sell are intended for domestic use in residential gardens.

If commercial play equipment is required please contact us for further information.

As with all play equipment children should be under adult supervision at all times whilst using the products we supply.
