So, i'm looking into cost and regulations to rebuild a playground at church...

a. Does anyone have suggestions of a company that does this for nonprofits?

b. Anyone have any clue where I would search to find rules/codes for building safe playgrounds in Missouri?

check with your city/county gov't that would fall under control of property location.

I would seriously look at insurance premiums and liability before I would take on this venture. From what I understand they can be a some what large for a playground in a public setting/place.

We already have one, but it's made of wood chips and some moveable playground equipment and seriously needs updating.

Speak to a store manager at your local Home Depot store. They redo some playgrounds thru their charities. Could also be on the Home Depot web site.

I've built, helped build, or volunteered as a helper on several playgrounds of all sizes....2 weeks ago a back yard set, and everything to wooden trains, firetrucks etc..

This question is like "how much does a car cost"...do you want a Yugo or a Caddy?

If its for a NFP organization.....buy the materials and ask for volunteers......1 Chief, the rest Indians.
