Robinia Castles

KOMPAN's wooden playground castles are amongst the most intricate structures requiring nearly 70 hours for installation of the smallest model and an additional 100 hours for the XL one. However, once installed and maintained properly, they can last a lifetime. Made from Robinia wood, a hardwood renowned for its durability, the structures develop character over time due to the natural changes that occur as the wood dries out or is exposed British weather. Any safety concerns can be easily addressed with remedial measures. The Robinia tree is a magnificent creation of nature, possessing numerous benefits at every level. It thrives in poor soils, enriches the earth with nitrogen, produces Acadia honey, and purifies the air through its leaves. The tree is also ideal for urban areas and regenerates quickly when cut as timber, making it highly sustainable. The wood is strong, fine-grained, and perfect for play features. Additionally, each piece of Robinia wood is unique, which adds a touch of individuality to every wooden castle.

A deciduous hardwood it grows in poor soil and as it does it puts nitrogen back into the earth, can control erosion, is the source of acacia honey, is a good firewood, is pollution tolerant, so good in urban areas, and when cut grows back quickly from its stump. How friendly is that?
