Fancote Fortress

165-FAN

The Fancote Fortress is a wooden castle playground for schools, public parks or commercial developments, its turrets, shingle roof and flag creating a fairytale landmark topped by a lofty 2900mm Juliette balcony. A double slide and an inclined rope net offer two ways to explore.

Climbing the inclined rope net and descending the double slide build strength and confidence, while the main platform and balcony create two distinct levels for role-play and fairytale adventures. As a castle play structure, it doubles as a supervised, sheltered social space with clear sightlines through the cladding.

Handcrafted in our O’Connor WA workshop from West Australian Jarrah, this castle playground features a distinctive shingle roof and vertical board cladding, available with an all-timber frame or a steel-framed pole and deck substructure. The fortress is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and turret trim colours and the flag can be matched to your project.

Installation is available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Talk to us about the Fancote Fortress for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Fancote Fortress need softfall surfacing?

Yes. The Fancote Fortress has a free height of fall of 2900mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

What age group is the Fancote Fortress for?

The Fancote Fortress suits children aged 5 years and over. Inclined rope net access leads to the elevated main platform with its Juliette balcony, and a double slide gives two children a way down at the same time from the main platform.

Can the Fancote Fortress be built with a steel frame?

Yes. An optional steel-framed pole and deck substructure is available for the Fancote Fortress where a site needs it. The turreted castle design with its flag and vertical cladding carries through either way, with supervision gaps built into the cladding for staff sightlines.
