FAQs

ActiveFit uses galvanized steel piping for its construction, powder primer, and finally coated, using the most advanced polyester powder coating pre-treatments and applications. This combination results in strong protection against the environmental challenge of Canadian weather and reduces (does not eliminate) rust-creep when product is vandalized by scratching.

• Primary structural (main frame) materials are 3.0″ (0.12 wall) and 5.0″ (0.186″ wall) OD.
• Secondary structural (sub-frame) materials are 1.66″ (0.12 wall) and 2.375″ (0.134 wall) OD
• Handles are 1.66″ (0.12 wall) OD

No. Well at least not yet in Canada. However, as an industry standard we have adopted the use of ASTM-F3101 as the standard specifications for the design, manufacturing and installation of outdoor fitness equipment.

Consider the appropriate use of soft landscape materials to provide some privacy between fitness stations and/or groups of fitness stations. Some users prefer the fitness stations to be placed in groups to allow for social interaction.

Several different factors should be considered when determining what equipment to include in your site. Financial budget, physical space, dual use units and muscle groups are important factors. However, a general rule is to have an equal amount of primarily cardio and primarily resistance units.

We recommend that the minimum clearance space, outside of the training envelope for each piece of outdoor fitness equipment be at least 900 mm (36 in.) in width. Please check installation requirements for more information.

Adequate drainage should always be considered when designing a site. Best practice is to always install at least a 3.0″ layer of ¾” clear aggregate under each fitness unit before installation of the final surface. Use ¼” limestone screenings to obtain final level when a solid surface is to be used.

Engineered Wood Fiber, Artificial Turf and Uniflex are all considered acceptable surfaces.

Fall height is usually defined as the distance between the highest part of the equipment and the surface below. There are some general exception to this rule that may apply. For Example, equipment where the user assumes a vertical standing position on the ground or a sitting position with feet touching the ground during the equipment’s intended use usually have no fall height requirements. However, please ensure that all safety surfacing is compliant with laws and regulations in the area in which you live.

Depending on the unit, you will need either 3 or 6, Ø5/8” x 5” sleeve anchors with a 5/8” Nut.

We recommend mounting the equipment on a concrete pad if there are no fall height requirements.  However, there are concrete footing mount options for sites with no access to concrete pads or that require safety surfacing.

ActiveFit equipment is designed for minimal maintenance. However, since most equipment is installed in unsupervised outdoor spaces, we recommend that all equipment is routinely checked for breakdown and misuse.

ActiveFit is backed by a comprehensive warranty with few exclusions. This warranty is supplied by a company that has been several decades in the manufacture of commercial playground equipment and therefore knows the industry and its requirements. Click Here for additional warranty details.
