Case Study Camphill, Blair Drummond Trust - Stirling

The project was developed to provide the residents of Camphill,

who are young adults that require additional support and

learning needs, outdoor play equipment to help them to

gain confidence and experience of different forms of spacial

awareness.

The objective was to design twin tree decks in a sympathetic

manner with the local historic building and surroundings, including

several special trees with preservation orders.

As the project scope evolved, additional elements were added to

the design to provide a wide range of activities for the young adults.

Tree Deck Structure

The sloping ground informed the design of the tree deck structure,

with a lower deck (1.5m high) and a higher deck (2.1m high)

connected by a bridge.

• Robinia timber was chosen for the platforms as the timbers retain

the shape and bends of the tree - ensuring a natural look.

• The sub-frame is constructed with machine-rounded high quality

soft wood for strength and durability.

A mix of other equipment, incorporating swinging, sliding and

agility, was also installed.

A full RPII inspection report was provided to the client as part of the

project completion documentation.

Overall project value: £25-30K.
