The invention relates to a playground comprising a number of pillars of a circular cross sectional area, and a series of playground elements including floor panels and side panels, and a series of brackets for attachment of the playground elements to the pillars. The brackets comprise an element coupling portion adapted to be fastened to a playground element and a pillar coupling portion adapted to be fastened to a side portion of a pillar. Here, the pillar coupling portion comprising a contact face curved to lie against pillar and a boring for receiving a fastening member which is oriented such that the bracket when fastened to the pillar is attached by the fastening member inserted from the bracket and into the pillar in a radial direction of the pillar. The series of brackets comprises brackets with element coupling portions adapted to be fastened to each of the playground elements in the series of playground elements, and all the brackets in the series comprise essentially identical pillar coupling portions such that all the brackets are adapted to be attached to the pillars in the same way. The invention also relates to a method of assembling such a playground. The series of playground elements may include floor panels, side panels, a series of bars of predefined diameters and chains.
A playground comprising a plurality of pillars having a circular cross sectional area, a series of playground elements including floor panels and side panels, and a series of brackets for attachment of the playground elements to the pillars, wherein all the brackets in the series of brackets comprise an element coupling portion configured to be fastened to a playground element and a pillar coupling portion configured to be fastened to a side portion of a pillar, the pillar coupling portion comprising a contact face curved to lie against the side portion of the pillar and a boring for receiving a fastening member to be inserted a distance into the pillar, the boring being oriented in a direction approximately perpendicular to the curved contact face such that the bracket when fastened to the pillar is attached by the fastening member inserted from the bracket and into the pillar in a radial direction of the pillar, wherein the series of brackets comprises brackets with element coupling portions configured to be fastened to each of the playground elements in the series of playground elements, wherein all the brackets in the series of brackets comprise substantially identical pillar coupling portions such that all the brackets are configured to be attached to the pillars in the same way, wherein the pillars comprise hollow pillars and the fastening members comprise bolts and nuts, and wherein the fastening members are inserted into the hollow pillars through T-shaped openings in the hollow pillars.
A method of assembling a playground comprising a plurality of pillars of a circular cross sectional area, a series of playground elements including floor panels and side panels, and a series of brackets for attachment of the playground elements to the pillars, wherein all the brackets in the series of brackets comprise an element coupling portion configured to be fastened to a playground element and a pillar coupling portion configured to be fastened to a side portion of a pillar, the method comprising:
