Play: on
rooftops.
As the world gets busier, and cities become more cramped, we need to use our space more wisely. Maximising your destination’s potential means making the most of every surface, and rooftops are a great example of an area that can be utilised – if designed in the right way. We’ve worked on many rooftop and podium projects and we know just how to make yours come to life. The technical aspects, and sometimes complicated manufacturing, may seem challenging but our team thrive on these types of projects. Talk to us today about how we can help you make the most from your rooftop.
A technical touch.
Our team have worked on a diverse range of projects,
and have developed a broad knowledge in this area.
The contracting, design, and estimating departments
all work together with your Area Manager to make
sure that every aspect of the rooftop project is covered.
Requirements for your rooftop
What information do you need to know before starting a rooftop project? What makes it different to a normal playground project? Carl, our Southern Contracts Manager, has helped us answer these questions! ‘Rooftop installations require extra attention from our end. We want to make sure the whole process runs smoothly, therefore we need some more details from you. These include surface build-up and access details’
Depths
Knowing the depths available helps us to choose the correct fixing methods and appropriate equipment for the site.
Drainage materials
Different drainage materials need to be handled and worked around in different ways, knowing this from the start can keep the process running smoothly.
Levels
We need to know if the surface is level in order to plan ahead and help you choose the correct equipment. Often a rooftop will feature a crossfall and this can be accommodated easily with our fixing methods.
Rooftop Access
Some items are simpler to transport than others. Depending on the final equipment chosen, a crane may be required.
Height restrictions
Some local councils and developments will have height restrictions for rooftop projects. It’s great to know about these before we get to work.

We Love
Ladderswood Estate - London.
This podium install was challenging, but the results speak for themselves. The modern equipment suits the new development perfectly. We’re very happy with the outcome! Download the Berliner Rooftop guide below to learn more about building on rooftops.
