The Strength Behind Safe, Long-Lasting Playgrounds

 

At Funky Monkey Bars, we take pride in producing high-quality playground equipment that’s safe, durable, and built to last. One thing that truly sets us apart? We’re the only monkey bar brand that uses 100% Australian-made steel—specifically, premium Orrcon Steel. Unlike our competitors who import their frames, we are proud to source, cut, and manufacture our frames right here in Australia. This ensures not only the highest standards of quality but also supports local industries and craftsmanship.

In this blog post, we’ll explore why Funky Monkey Bars uses Orrcon Steel and how this decision benefits you and your family.

 

 

What is Orrcon Steel?

Orrcon Steel is an Australian-made, premium steel known for its high-quality composition and outstanding durability. Manufactured to exacting standards, it offers consistent performance in demanding applications, making it the perfect material for products like playground equipment that must endure heavy use and harsh outdoor conditions.

 

Why Orrcon Steel?

Here’s why we rely on Orrcon Steel for Funky Monkey Bars:

1. Strength and Safety First

Our playgrounds are designed to handle intense loads from kids climbing, swinging, and playing energetically. Orrcon Steel’s high tensile strength ensures that our bars can withstand the test of time and play, providing your children with safe, reliable equipment. By choosing Orrcon Steel, we ensure that every swing, flip, and climb is supported by materials built to last, offering unmatched safety for families.

2. Corrosion Resistance

Australia’s diverse climate can be tough on outdoor equipment, especially metal surfaces that are exposed to the elements. From dry heat to coastal humidity, it’s essential to use materials that resist corrosion. Orrcon Steel is highly corrosion-resistant, meaning it won’t rust or degrade easily, even in challenging weather conditions. This ensures that Funky Monkey Bars maintain their strength and appearance for years, requiring minimal upkeep.

3. The Only Monkey Bar Brand Using Australian Steel

At Funky Monkey Bars, we’re proud to say we’re the only monkey bar brand that uses Australian-made steel. While many of our competitors choose to import their frames, we remain committed to sourcing locally. By using Aussie steel and manufacturing in-house right here in Perth, we’re able to maintain full control over quality, guarantee safety, and support the local economy. This is a key part of our ethos: no compromises on quality or community values.

4. Sustainability and Local Support

Using locally produced steel also aligns with our commitment to sustainability. Orrcon Steel is made with a focus on minimizing environmental impact, and since we don’t import our frames, we reduce emissions from transportation. This eco-conscious approach means you’re not only investing in safe, high-quality equipment for your family but also supporting Australian jobs and industries.

5. Perfectly Powder-Coated

To ensure that our playgrounds are as durable as they are visually appealing, we combine Orrcon Steel with Dulux powder coating. This gives our equipment a tough, long-lasting finish that resists wear and tear while adding vibrant color. Whether you choose a classic neutral or a fun pop of color, you can be confident that your Funky Monkey Bars will look great for years to come. Our powder coating process is done in-house, allowing us to oversee every detail from steel cutting to final touches.

 

 

Investing in Longevity

When you choose Funky Monkey Bars, you’re not just buying a backyard playground—you’re investing in Australian quality that will stand the test of time. With Orrcon Steel, you get the strongest, most durable material on the market, built specifically for Australian families and conditions. And by supporting a company that manufactures locally, you’re helping to reduce the environmental impact and strengthen our economy.
