I’ve been at Tayplay since I left college in 1996, it’s the only place I’d like to work, or it’s the only place that will hold me! A passionate paraglider, I now have two little daughters who keep me busy. Free time is dedicated to cycling: commuting, walks in local clubs and time trials; snowboard when possible.

After working for 15 years in the Music Industry, I joined Tayplay just as Covid hit in 2020. After 15 months of lockdown, I am now out meeting our wonderful customers. I am generally found on the golf course, listening to loud & repetitive music, eating homegrown produce from my garden. Jumped out of a plane once, and spent a fabulous 5 days building my own guitar from 5 blocks of wood.

Our Philosophy
At Tayplay, we understand and appreciate that no two clients have the same requirements. That is why our core philosophy is based on individuality. Our technical and design team is available to advise landscape architects and community group workers on how to design and manufacture their own playground rope equipment. We seek nothing but the best for our materials - colour, durability and safety are key. We want to provide a playground that children can play in for years to come. Rope nets are a classic in parks.
Materials
Our technical and design team is pushing new products, new technologies and new materials to meet your growing needs. That's why you can use our expert knowledge of strings, connectors, and end accessories to find the best solution for your new string set product. The versatility of our wide range of end accessories is safe and with the highest specifications. You can personalize your product by selecting colors and connectors to create a unique play element for your play area.
Design
Our Design Team collaborates with technicians, production and marketing in the development of ideas throughout the design process in a robust, TUV certified product, ready for distribution. Both the Design and Technician are fully trained in Solidworks software. Our design library contains: 3D CAD, 2D DWG CAD blocks, installation instructions, and renders to support your rope playground project. For starters, why don't we start designing your next string project?
Manufacturing & Installation
Tayplay Rope Nets are manufactured in-house, in our factories and offices located off the M90, Perth, Scotland, UK. We pride ourselves on having a loyal and hardworking workforce, with an average work experience of over 15-20 years. Our standard lead time is 3-4 weeks, however we recommend asking us as depending on the urgency of the job this time may be shortened if production is not busy.
