ABOUT US

Inspired by Kids, Built for Play

ZR Play was started in Spring 2025 with the aim to bring high quality wooden products to Gardens all across the country with an initial focus on working on large contracts with schools, nursery and pre schools across NI and ROI. We are a small team of 3 (currently) and have a small and personal focus with strong response times. All of the team have young families and children, I (Ricardo) have two hyper boys, 3 and 6 years old, full of energy and brilliant helpers in the workshop and for countless ideas. Luckily and thankfully at our home and small workshop I regularly get the bring to boys ideas to life. This summer in my free time we have made a mud kitchen, climbing frame, wooden bridge for the 3 year old’s tractor and large storage shed for my extra tools. The team has over 20 years of experience in wooden and outdoor structures, from building larger outdoor office, landscaping and concrete pads, surfacing, climbing frames, swing sets, school, pub, caravan sites and many more different types of fit outs. Our large and new focus is our residential range of ZR play. All of our products are made to last, we are firm believers in do it once and do it right. We do not skimp on materials or cut corners and all of our products are built to last. We can do some amazing custom pieces as well from climbing frames around tree’s, tractor climbing frames, wooden boats and loads more, just ask!

WHY ZR PLAY

Built Once, Loved for Years

01

Timber That Lasts

Built from high grade, responsibly sourced wood and finished to stand up to wind, rain and years of climbing, our structures hold strong without ever looking the part less.

02

Designed Around Play

Every build starts with how children actually play. We shape each structure to encourage balance, confidence and imagination, with safety built into every decision.

03

Finished by Hand

From smooth edges to solid, secure joints, every detail is finished by hand, so what we deliver is as dependable as it is good to look at.

sustainability

Creating eco friendly play spaces, reducing our environmental impact

As a family business built around children, we know how important it is to protect the world they will grow up in. That is why we use responsibly sourced timber and work sustainably wherever we can, from the materials we choose to the way we build and install every structure.

our team

Meet Ricardo


I started ZR Play in Spring 2025, but the work behind it goes back over 20 years, building wooden and outdoor structures of every kind, from climbing frames and swing sets to garden offices, landscaping and fit-outs for schools, pubs and caravan sites. Most of my best ideas come from home. My two boys, aged 3 and 6, are full of energy and brilliant helpers in the workshop, and a lot of what they dream up ends up as a real build. This summer alone we've made a mud kitchen, a climbing frame and a little wooden bridge for the 3 year old's tractor. I build everything the way I'd build it for them: do it once, do it right, no cut corners.

Explore our FAQ
Are ZR Play structures safe for children?

Yes, absolutely. Every structure we build is designed with safety in mind and crafted from sturdy, non toxic, sustainably sourced timber. We pay close attention to smooth edges, solid joints and secure fittings, so children can play with confidence and parents can relax.
What do you build?

We specialise in wooden climbing frames and playgrounds, along with garden structures, gazebos and bespoke outdoor builds for schools, nurseries and homes. If you can imagine it, we can make it.
Do you offer bespoke or custom builds?

Yes. Bespoke work is at the heart of what we do. Tell us about your space, your ideas and your budget, and we will design and build something made just for you.
Do you install the structures too?

We do. As a full service family business, we look after everything from design and build through to safe, professional installation.
How do I look after my wooden structure?

Our timber is built to withstand the outdoors, and with a little simple care it will last for years. No major upkeep is needed. We recommend a quick check once a year to make sure nothing has worked loose, started to wobble or developed any unwelcome noises, tightening the odd bolt is usually all it takes. Pressure-treated timber can be re-treated every few years if you want to keep it looking its best. And if anything ever needs attention, we can service and repair our frames at any time, adding or replacing parts as needed to keep them safe and going strong. We'll share simple maintenance tips once your structure is installed
What warranty can I expect with these products?

All treated timber products come complete with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 2-year manufacturer Warranty, so you have full peace of mind on your amazing products.
