The installation of an indoor children's play area is a complex project that encompasses various stages such as planning, design, construction, equipment installation, and safety inspection. The following is a complete installation process compiled based on industry standards and practical operational experience, which can assist you in completing the construction efficiently and safely.
I. Preliminary Planning and Compliance Approval
Clarify the target customer group and functional positioning
Based on the main target audience (such as children aged 2-6, children aged 7-12, or parent-child families), determine the types of recreational content and facilities, and reasonably divide the functional areas, including:
Reception and Ticket Check Area
Core play area (including playhouse, slides, trampolines, etc.)
Parent-Child Interaction Area
Role-playing Area
Dining and Rest Area
Bathroom and storage area
Office Management Area
Flowline Design and Spatial Layout
The circular flow design is adopted to avoid congestion caused by people crossing each other; the areas for activities and rest are clearly divided. For instance, trampolining and rock climbing are set as the "activity area", while picture books and handicrafts are designated as the "rest area".
Handle the relevant procedures
Applying for a business license
Fire protection design filing and acceptance (required for places with large crowds)
Special equipment installation license (such as large electrical facilities)
Environmental Impact Assessment procedures
Obtain the construction permit for the property and accept supervision from the fire and quality inspection departments.
II. Design Phase: Safety First + Immersive Theme
Theme and Color Design
Choose a unified theme (such as forests, oceans, space, or a fairy-tale town), and maintain a consistent style from the walls, lighting, facilities to the staff uniforms. Avoid excessive high-saturation "color bombardment", and it is recommended to use a low-saturation main color with local bright colors to guide the visual focus.
Material Selection and Safety Standards
Floor: The play area is covered with 3cm or thicker seamless rubber mats or TPU floor tiles, with an impact absorption rate of ≥ 60%; the passageways use anti-slip tiles (with a friction coefficient of ≥ 0.6)
Wall surface: The play area is covered with soft materials of 5cm or more (fireproof B1 grade, anti-stain and easy to clean). The corners are all rounded and equipped with anti-collision strips.
Top surface: Light steel frame gypsum board ceiling, simple and uncluttered design. A sound insulation layer can be added when necessary.
All materials must comply with national standards such as GB 6675 (Toy Safety) and GB 18583 (Limits of Hazardous Substances).
Lighting and Ventilation System
The basic lighting is sufficient, ensuring there are no dark corners or areas.
The ceiling can be decorated with elements such as star lights and cloud lights to enhance the theme atmosphere.
Install a fresh air or exhaust system to ensure proper air circulation. It is recommended to have at least 6 air changes per hour.
III. Equipment Installation and Commissioning
Principles for Placing Amusement Facilities
Positioning strictly in accordance with the design plan
Large facilities such as playparks and electric equipment are installed by professionals.
Ensure the structure is stable and the connections are secure. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for operation.
Key steps for installing the slide
Choose a flat and solid location and clear away any obstacles.
Fix the support pole to the ground or wall using expansion screws.
When installing the slide track, pay attention to ensuring a smooth connection without any jamming or gaps.
After the installation is completed, conduct a test run to ensure smooth operation.
Installation of protective nets and fences
The mesh density of the protective net should prevent children's heads or limbs from getting stuck in it.
The height of the fence is generally no less than 1.1 meters, which complies with safety standards.
Compared with outdoor railings, indoor railings place more emphasis on lightness and aesthetics, but still need to ensure the protective function.
IV. Safety Inspection and Acceptance
Structural stability test
Gently shake the playhouse or slide to check for any looseness, abnormal sounds or loose connections.
Fire and Emergency Equipment Configuration
Each 50 square meters is equipped with one set of fire extinguishers.
The width of the evacuation passage should be no less than 1.4 meters, and there should be no less than 2 exits that lead directly to the outside.
Install clear evacuation signs and emergency lighting
Final acceptance process
After the internal self-inspection is qualified, a third-party testing agency will be invited to conduct a safety assessment.
Submit the fire inspection report, equipment qualification certificate, material test report and other relevant documents for filing.
V. Daily Maintenance and Operation Management
Regularly inspect the wear of the soft packaging, the looseness of the frame, and the damage of the protective net.
When cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe. Do not use corrosive cleaners.
If any serious damage is found, replace the components immediately to ensure continuous safe operation.
