What time is it & where are we going?
Quite simply we can install the simplest clock with the hours 1-12, a simple line compass with N, S, E, W through to the more complex 24 hour versions or compasses with 8 directional points with maps or smiley faces included – or why not combine both to create a clock/compass?
We have listed a few of the most popular variations available, though (as always) we will be delighted to receive your suggestions and create designs to enable you to obtain the best possible result and use of your playgrounds (there is no additional charge for this).
These markings are supplied and installed using the brightest, vibrant colours, the highest possible quality and hardest wearing preformed thermoplastic material available.
