Designed around four things you tell us

Every custom project starts from your constraints, not our catalogue. Each piece is designed in-house, hand-welded and powder-coated on the same factory floor in Qiaoxia, and custom structures are trial-assembled before packing so there are no surprises on site.

Your floor plan

A simple sketch with overall dimensions is enough — indoor hall, outdoor plot, rooftop or an irregular corner site. The layout is designed to fit your real footprint, not forced from a catalogue module.

Your visitors

Toddler zones, 3–6 and 6–12 age mixes, capacity targets and accessibility needs all change the structure. Tell us who will play and we zone the design accordingly.

Your theme

Pirate ship, forest, ocean, castle — or your own brand's world. Colours, panel graphics and structural forms are customised, with a 3D render to review before anything is built.

Your budget

Most custom private playground projects start from USD 15,000–30,000+ depending on size, materials, destination and installation. We design to a budget direction you set, and quote itemised FOB pricing.

From site plan to installed playground

1. Send your site details

Today

Email or WhatsApp your site dimensions (a phone photo of a hand sketch works), age groups and budget direction. An English-speaking project manager confirms feasibility within 24–48 hours.

2. Free concept sketch

24 hours

You receive a free, no-obligation concept sketch showing the proposed layout, equipment selection and key dimensions on your footprint.

3. 3D render & itemised quote

3–5 business days

The design team produces a detailed 3D render with material specifications and colour options, plus an itemised FOB quotation. Revisions are included until the design fits.

4. Factory build & delivery

30–45 days production

After a 30% deposit, your structure is manufactured, trial-assembled and video-inspected before packing. EN1176 / ASTM documentation, installation manuals and foundation drawings are included.

The full six-step procurement workflow — deposit terms, inspection and shipping — is documented on the process page. Want proof this works? Two live build logs — a custom forest indoor playground in Norway and a pirate-ship playground in Oman — are documented stage by stage on the projects page. Looking for theme inspiration first?

Venues we design for

Family entertainment centres & malls

Indoor soft play and climbing structures zoned for throughput and daily sanitation.

Resorts & hotels

Themed landmark structures that photograph well and handle guest turnover.

Schools & kindergartens

Age-appropriate structures with certified materials and clear supervision sightlines.

Parks & municipalities

Public-space structures specified for heavy use, vandal resistance and compliance paperwork.

Real-estate developers & landscape architects

Amenity structures built to architect drawings, with FEA-verified engineering and full handover documentation.

Landmark & resort-scale commissions

For flagship projects — resort centrepieces, destination park structures, amenity playgrounds for premium residential developments — HonPlay works as a design-and-build manufacturing partner rather than a catalogue supplier. Destination-scale structures are engineered with FEA verification, materials are specified to your climate (marine-grade SS304/316 stainless steel for coastal sites, UV-stable HPL for desert sun, FSC-certified Robinia for biophilic briefs), colours are matched to RAL codes, and every custom structure is trial-assembled at the factory before packing.

Working from an architect’s concept? 2D layout drawings and foundation plans ship as PDF, and 3D CAD files (STEP / IGES / Rhino) are available for integration with landscape design software. See solutions for developers & landscape architects.

Custom design FAQ

What do you need from me to start a custom playground design?
Three things: your site dimensions (a hand sketch or phone photo of the space is fine), the age groups you want to serve, and a budget direction. From that, HonPlay prepares a free concept sketch within 24 hours — no obligation.
Can you design a playground around my brand or a specific theme?
Yes. Structures, colours and panel graphics can follow your brand world or a chosen theme — pirate ship, forest, ocean, castle and other themes have been produced before. You review a 3D render of the themed design before production begins.
My site is small or irregularly shaped. Is custom design still worth it?
Irregular sites are where custom design matters most. Modular soft-play blocks and compact climbing frames can turn even 30–50 m² into a viable play zone, and the layout is drawn around your actual footprint rather than a standard catalogue module.
How much does a custom playground for a private venue cost?
Most custom private playground projects start from USD 15,000–30,000+ depending on size, materials, destination, freight and local installation. The itemised FOB quotation you receive with the 3D design breaks the cost down before you commit anything.
Do you take on landmark or resort-scale commissions?
Yes. Destination-scale multi-level structures are engineered with FEA verification, built in marine-grade SS304/316 stainless steel or FSC-certified timber where the climate demands it, and trial-assembled at the factory before packing. HonPlay has completed 5,000+ projects across 50+ countries since 1997, working directly with resort developers, real-estate developers and landscape architects. These commissions are quoted by design — start with your site plan and concept.
I'm an end customer, not an importer. Can I still buy factory-direct?
Yes. Many HonPlay customers are venue owners buying for their own site. Equipment ships FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, and CIF, DAP and DDP options are available so it can arrive at your port or door. Installation manuals, foundation drawings and remote video guidance are included.
