Hangout pod
Physical
sitting and lying enjoying the swaying movements stimulate the sense of balance.
Social-Emotional
meeting, taking a break is invited. Turn-taking supports the skills necessary to learn how to avoid conflicts.
The Surfer Hangout is an attractive, swaying meeting point with one blue and one green Loop which invite meetings for two or more children. Their rubbery materials add a soft, gently bouncy feel where children enjoy the swaying movements while gently training their sense of balance. The sense of balance is fundamental to all other movements: walking, running, and even sitting still, which takes trunk stability. Learning at school and concentrating ultimately is hugely promoted with a well-functioning sense of balance. The social-emotional play value of the Surfer is evident: children sit one or two together and have friendly chats. And not least, they enjoy the fact that there is finally a fun playground meeting point which is designed to meet their need for quirky rests with friends: standing, sitting, lying, kneeling, hanging – and all of it while swaying. A great place for making friends.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Quality that lasts
Hangout pod designed with a welded frame of two steel rings which are hot dip galvanized and powder coated. The membrane consist of friction-proof rubberized material of conveyor belt quality with excellent UV resistance.
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Corocord aluminium clamps are used as connectors between steel posts and rope. Two aluminium castings are bolted together. The height of the clamps is thus variable.
Corocord ropes with 19mm+ diameter are known as a 'Hercules' rope type which is formed from galvanised six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. Ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be easily replaced on-site if needed.
Ground anchoring chains are made of 6mm thick hot dip galvanized steel.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
