2D Special Product

Some times, we have special products be requested for order and below is an example of a most recent one I've had to create. This was a rather simple one to do and took hardly any time at all, but i thought it would be a good example as I can show the process with out it becoming to confusing.

Below is a 2D drawing of a 'Fox Tail Tower', one of our products which consists on a 1 meter high tower deck, slide, rock climber and fireman's pole. The red and blue perimeter are the fall zones and show the maximum and minimum fall zones. 


For this product, I had to change the fireman's pole to a log ramp. Below is an image that shows all the available equipment attachments depending on the height of the deck.


Here is an image of the tower exploded ready for the new piece of equipment to be added.


This is the tower design completed, as I said, this was very simple to do as it was only changing one thing. Reps can as for pretty much any thing the want (within reason). For example, I recently had to design a tower with 3 decks, 2 slides and lots of other equipment.


After completing the design of the custom product, if its a tower, you have to consider the safety fall zone area. This is showing the amount of fall zone area and takes into consideration how much safety surfacing that you need to meet 'BSEN Safety Standards'. Below is our fall zone template in which we use to work out the fall zones.


Here below, you can see the correct fall zone template to work out the maximum fall zone line. 


After drawing the maximum fall zone line, we have to use the same fall zone templates, but go in 0.35m form the attachment equipment due to its steep angle. This then creates the minimum fall zone line. 


Below is the complete 'Custom Fox Tail Tower' with a log ramp instead of a fireman's pole. This will then be used on the design and will need to have its own separate quote created using each of its parts.
