🔹Where is Outdorable play equipment made?
Outdorable is a New Zealand-based family business. We craft our play equipment using Accoya—an exceptionally durable, weather-stable timber modified through acetylation. This process results in a class 1 timber ideal for long-term outdoor use.
Our Accoya timber is sourced from its primary facility in the Netherlands, then shaped into play equipment at licensed production sites across Europe and the USA. Every Outdorable piece reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and nature-inspired design.
🔹What age group is Outdorable equipment designed for?
Our play solutions are created specifically for children aged 0-6 years, supporting open-ended, natural play in supervised learning environments.

🔹My equipment has a hairline Split in the timber. Should I be concerned?
As explained in our guarantee details, small hairline splits or ‘checks’ can appear in the first few months of having your equipment. This is expected with all biogenic materials that originate from living organisms and continue to interact over time. Generally, they will not deteriorate over time unless they are significant splits and cracks (opening greater than 1.0m). If your equipment has a significant split or crack greater than 1.0mm opening (which can be checked using a bank card to see if it fits in the split), please get in touch with us with some photos, and we will discuss this with you.
🔹Will my equipment fade in the sun ?
Yes, Accoya wood will naturally weather over time when exposed to sunlight and outdoor elements. Like other wood species, it will transition to a silvery-grey color due to UV exposure and environmental factors. Note: This weathering does not affect its durability, stability, or performance—it remains highly resistant to rot and decay. If you prefer to maintain its original appearance, applying a natural oil to the timber periodically can help preserve its colour. We do offer our outdorable Bio Oil in some regions.
