What is Dougie Digger made out of?

Panelled with minimum 15mm thick HDPE Panels – guaranteeing you no painting, no splintering, no cracking. Simply wash with warm soapy water and wipe over when needed.

FSC certified high grade European red wood base & frame that has received a Gold Award winning 30 year treatment.

Can I choose the colours?

Yes you can. We have a great selection of colours to choose from, but of course this classic yellow is top favourite for JCB authenticity.

What does FSC certified timber mean?

Forest Stewardship Council. The forests have to prove that they are managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable manner and we’re proud to choose this long lasting timber.

What fixings do you use?

Stainless Steel Fixings throughout, which means no rust, even in the harshest of weather conditions.

Do I need a safety surface?

Technically, all our vehicles can be placed on well kept turf without a ‘safety surface’ however, trust us when we say that our vehicles are soooo popular that once that turf is well worn, it is no longer a sufficient safety surface. That is why we recommend fitting a safety surface from the beginning as it saves you money and time by adding it at a later date. We recommend a wet pour surface if possible, but our vehicles also sit on grass mats and loose fill sand, rubber crumb or bark.

Delivery: 

Most of our vehicle items are delivery only with the ability to simply ‘place and play’. Our vehicles are heavy duty, built to last a long, long time, so they are heavy. You will need machinery to lift them such as a telehandler, forklift or tractor with forks fitted.

Can I install the Dougie Digger myself?

Yes, you can. As we said, our vehicles are ‘place and play’ ready to be used immediately they are in position. Your Dougie Digger arrives in 3 pieces ready to very simply bolt together. Dougie will also need his excavation bucket sunk into a simple 450 mm x 450 mm hole, and fixed with his ground anchor. A simple enough job for a competent person. Just ask us if you have any questions.

What other equipment works well with the Dougie Digger?

Could I add more play items at a later date?

Yes, of course you can. If you make a dream plan of how you want your whole play area laid out in the future, you can add equipment as & when it suits you and your budgets. Tommy Tractor  and our Trailer Slide are our most popular pieces and they fit super well with our Land Rover and all other vehicles. .
