Question 1

Do you offer playground installation outside Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Van Ryt Industries provides full design, supply, and installation services across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia. For interstate projects, we offer supply-only arrangements where our playground equipment is delivered and installed by approved local contractors. Contact us to discuss your project location.

Question 2

What Australian standards does VRI's playground equipment comply with?

Accepted Answer

All VRI playground equipment and installations comply with AS 4685 - the Australian Standard for playground equipment and surfacing. We provide compliance documentation with completed installations across Perth and WA.

Question 3

What materials does VRI use for commercial playground equipment?

Accepted Answer

VRI manufactures predominantly in West Australian Jarrah hardwood - a dense, naturally durable native timber chosen for its longevity in Australian outdoor conditions. We combine Jarrah with structural steel, marine-grade stainless steel hardware, and UV-stabilised high quality playground rope sourced for commercial use.

All materials are selected for AS 4685 compliance and the demands of high-traffic public installations. Locally sourced timber and locally fabricated components keep the supply chain transparent and the carbon footprint lower than imported alternatives.

Question 4

Can I view your product range before I enquire?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can browse our full product range on our Products pages, including nature play equipment, climbing structures, imaginative play items, and inclusive play features. We also welcome visits to our O'Connor workshop by appointment, where you can see our manufacturing process and materials firsthand. Contact our team to discuss your brief, request a quote, or arrange a concept design consultation.

Question 5

What types of organisations do you build playgrounds for?

Accepted Answer

We work with a wide range of clients including local councils and shires, landscape architects, childcare and early learning centres, schools, hospitality venues such as hotels and breweries, caravan parks, and property developers. Our projects typically range from small-scale early learning centre installations through to large community park playground upgrades.

Question 6

Does VRI design custom playgrounds, or only supply standard products?

Accepted Answer

Custom playground design is core to what we do. The VRI in-house design team works with landscape architects, councils, schools, and private clients to create bespoke playground equipment tailored to your site, brief, and budget - from a single feature element to a fully custom multi-zone playspace. We can work from your concept sketches, develop original designs from a brief, or adapt and combine elements from our standard product range. Every custom design is engineered to AS 4685 and fabricated at our O'Connor workshop in Perth.

Question 7

How long does a typical playground installation take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary depending on project scope and complexity. A typical infill park playground installation in Perth runs approximately 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion, with larger or custom projects taking longer. We provide an indicative installation timeline during the quoting stage, and we have a strong track record of carefully coordinating install timing with our clients to suit their project schedule. Clear communication at every stage is central to how we work.

Question 8

How much does a commercial playground installation cost in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Commercial playground installation costs in Perth vary significantly by scope - from around $30,000 for a small early learning centre play area to $500,000+ for a major council park with custom features. Pricing depends on equipment selection, site conditions, surfacing, and installation complexity. VRI provides itemised quotations after an initial site assessment and design consultation. Contact our team to discuss your project budget and we'll outline what's achievable within your scope.

Question 9

Can VRI supply playground equipment to the eastern states without installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VRI supplies commercial playground equipment Australia-wide as a supply-only package. Each order includes full installation documentation and drawings with fall zone specifications. All products are designed in accordance with AS 4685.
