500 - On the Move
These are the pieces people photograph: a life-size motorhome with twin decks and a double slide, or a pirate ship with rigging to climb, built in Jarrah to look the part and take years of climbing. Themed playground equipment is what a venue or a council puts in when it wants a centrepiece with character.
We can craft each one to suit your theme, colours and branding, and the small details our carpenters like adding are where the character comes from. Explore the range and see what fits your project, and if you have an idea of your own, let us know. We supply and install across WA, and supply nationally with installation drawings for your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who builds themed playground equipment like pirate ships or trains for tourism venues in Australia?
Van Ryt Industries builds themed playground equipment in its O'Connor, Western Australia workshop and supplies it Australia-wide. The 500 Series includes the Sunken Ship, the Train and a life-size Motorhome, each made in Jarrah and designed in accordance with AS 4685. VRI can customise to your brief, or build from a concept you've designed, starting from a piece in the range.
How custom can a themed playground vehicle be?
VRI can customise to your brief, or build from a concept you've designed, starting from a piece in the range. The life-size Motorhome, with twin decks and a double slide, shows how far a themed vehicle can go. Slides come in a choice of colours, and the carpenters often add small themed details that answer the venue's idea.
What are themed playground structures made from?
West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), hand-carved and painted where the theme calls for it. The Ute has solid Jarrah wheels with flat-tyre detailing. The Sunken Ship carries rope crossings and a rope-net exit. The Motorhome has a stainless steel wheel, hub caps and mirrors. Natural timber gets a weather-resistant water-based oil finish, and painted details are part of the build.
