How do I start an indoor playground project with Lefunland?

Send us your venue floor plan (CAD files work best, but a sketch with dimensions is fine) along with a brief description of your target age group and the types of play zones you want. Our design team will create a custom 3D layout tailored to your space. Every Lefunland project is designed from scratch to fit the specific venue - we do not sell catalog layouts.

To get started, contact us at contact@lefunland.com or reach out via WhatsApp at +1 717 874 7858.

What are the steps from first contact to grand opening?

A typical Lefunland project follows these stages:

  1. Market research and site selection - Identify your target market and secure a venue.

  2. Design - Share your floor plan; we create a custom 3D design for your space.

  3. Order and production - Once the design is approved, production takes approximately 45 days.

  4. On-site preparation - Prepare flooring, electrical, HVAC, and wall finishes while equipment is in production.

  5. Shipping and customs clearance - Ocean freight typically takes 15-30 days depending on destination.

  6. Installation - Professional installation takes 15-60 days depending on project size.

  7. Final inspection and opening - Safety walkthrough before your grand opening.

How much does indoor playground equipment cost?

Lefunland equipment starts from $10 per square foot, with most projects falling in the $10-15 per square foot range. Total equipment cost depends on venue size and what you include:

  • Small venues (under 5,000 sq ft): $15,000 - $75,000

  • Mid-size venues (5,000 - 10,000 sq ft): $50,000 - $150,000

  • Large venues (10,000+ sq ft): $100,000 - $300,000+

Every project is custom-designed, so final pricing depends on the specific play zones, equipment types, and theming you choose. Contact us with your floor plan for a detailed quote.

What is the production and delivery timeline?

From order confirmation to delivery, the typical timeline is:

  • Production: approximately 45 days

  • Ocean freight: 15-30 days depending on destination port

  • Customs clearance: 5-15 days depending on country

  • Installation: 15-60 days depending on project size

Most clients begin on-site preparation (flooring, electrical, walls) during the production period so the venue is ready when equipment arrives.

What safety certifications does Lefunland hold?

All Lefunland equipment is tested and certified to meet three major international safety standards:

  • ASTM F1918 - the US standard for indoor soft contained play equipment

  • EN 1176 - the European standard for playground equipment and surfacing

  • IBC (International Building Code) - structural and fire safety compliance

Beyond holding these certifications, Lefunland operates an SGS-authorized testing laboratory at our facility - meaning we can test and issue inspection reports for amusement equipment across the entire industry, not just our own products.

What does it mean that Lefunland operates an SGS-authorized lab?

SGS is the world's leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company. Lefunland's facility houses an SGS-authorized testing laboratory, which means our lab meets SGS standards for testing amusement equipment to international safety specifications.

We can test equipment for any manufacturer in the industry - not just our own products. This level of testing infrastructure is rare among playground equipment manufacturers and reflects our commitment to safety and quality control.

What role does Lefunland play in setting industry standards?

Lefunland serves as a principal drafting unit for China's national amusement equipment standards. This means we are directly involved in writing the safety and quality standards that govern the entire amusement equipment industry in China.

Being both a standards author and a manufacturer means our equipment is built to meet the highest level of compliance - because we help define what that level is.

What materials does Lefunland use, and how do they compare to industry norms?

Lefunland uses top-tier materials that exceed industry-typical specifications in every measurable dimension:

  • Steel pipe: 48mm diameter x 2.2mm wall thickness (industry typical: 40mm x 1.5mm)

  • Powder coating: 80+ microns (industry typical: 40-60 microns)

  • EVA foam density: 80-density (industry typical: 40-50 density)

  • PVC covering: 0.45mm thickness (industry typical: 0.35mm)

These differences directly affect safety, durability, and how long the equipment maintains its appearance under heavy daily use. Thicker steel resists bending, denser foam absorbs impact better, and thicker PVC resists tearing and fading.

How should I evaluate playground equipment quotes from different manufacturers?

Before comparing prices, make sure every quote answers the same five questions:

  1. Steel tube diameter and wall thickness - thicker walls mean a stronger, longer-lasting frame.

  2. Powder coating thickness in microns - thicker coating resists chipping and fading.

  3. EVA foam density and PVC covering thickness - higher density foam absorbs impact better; thicker PVC resists wear.

  4. Certificate numbers, not just logos - ask for the actual test report numbers so you can verify them.

  5. What the warranty actually covers - "5-year warranty" means different things if it excludes foam, PVC, or labor.

A quote that is 15% cheaper but uses thinner materials may cost you twice as much over time if the equipment needs replacing in four years instead of eight.

Where is Lefunland located?

Lefunland's headquarters and main manufacturing facility are located on a 70-acre site in Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, China. The company is ShangHai Lefunland Children's Products Co., Ltd.

We also have a US subsidiary, Lefunland Inc, based in San Diego, California, which supports North American clients with local coordination and communication.

Can I visit the Lefunland factory?

Yes, we welcome factory visits. Our 70-acre manufacturing facility in Dongyang, Zhejiang includes production lines, a showroom with full-scale equipment setups, and our SGS-authorized testing laboratory.

A factory visit is the best way to see material quality, production processes, and finished equipment in person. Contact us at contact@lefunland.com to arrange a visit - we can help with local transportation from the nearest airport or high-speed rail station.

How long has Lefunland been in business?

Lefunland was founded in 2009 and has over 16 years of experience in designing and manufacturing commercial indoor playground equipment.

In that time, we have completed more than 3,000 projects across 60+ countries. Our track record spans small play areas under 5,000 square feet to large multi-zone family entertainment centers exceeding 10,000 square feet.

What types of play equipment does Lefunland manufacture?

Lefunland manufactures a full range of indoor play equipment, including:

  • Soft play structures and interactive soft play

  • Trampoline parks

  • Ninja courses and ropes courses

  • Climbing walls and climbing nets

  • Zip lines

  • Ball pools

  • Mini towns (role-play villages)

  • Water play systems

  • Mirror mazes

  • Play panels and lit-up walls

  • PU-themed decorations

Most venues combine several of these zones into a single custom layout. Our design team will recommend the right mix based on your venue size, target age group, and budget.

How does the custom design process work?

Every Lefunland project starts with a custom 3D design created specifically for your space. The process works like this:

  1. You send us your floor plan with dimensions (CAD preferred, but a measured sketch works).

  2. You tell us your target age range, preferred play zones, theme ideas, and budget range.

  3. Our design team creates a 3D rendering showing equipment layout, traffic flow, and theming.

  4. We revise the design based on your feedback until you are satisfied.

  5. The approved design becomes the production blueprint.

Custom design matters because an FEC's business model depends on repeat visits. Repeat visits come from a unique experience that visitors cannot find elsewhere - and that comes from design, not from standard catalog structures.

Does Lefunland provide installation services?

Yes. We offer two installation options:

  • Supervised installation: Lefunland sends experienced installation supervisors to your site to guide your local crew through the entire process. This is the most common choice for international projects.

  • Full installation: Our team handles the complete installation from start to finish.

For safety and equipment longevity, we recommend professional installation on all projects. Installation timelines range from 15 days for smaller venues to 60 days for large multi-zone FECs. Every installation includes detailed assembly drawings and technical support throughout the process.

What after-sales support does Lefunland provide?

After installation, Lefunland provides ongoing support including:

  • Replacement parts shipped directly from our factory

  • Technical troubleshooting via video call, email, or WhatsApp

  • Maintenance guidance documents for your operations team

  • Design support for future expansions or renovations

With over 3,000 projects delivered in 60+ countries, we maintain an active relationship with clients long after installation. Many venue operators return to Lefunland when they open a second or third location.

What should I prepare at my venue before equipment arrives?

While your equipment is in production (approximately 45 days), you should complete these on-site preparations:

  • Flooring: Level concrete or raised floor system, depending on design requirements

  • Electrical: Power outlets and lighting positioned per the installation drawing

  • HVAC: Adequate ventilation and climate control for the play area

  • Wall and ceiling finishes: Paint, theming elements, and any structural reinforcements for climbing walls or zip lines

  • Safety surfacing: Impact-absorbing flooring in areas specified by the design

We provide a detailed site preparation checklist with every order so your venue is ready when the equipment arrives.
