Huck Bird’s Nest® prevents accidents

Children simply love to swing: as high in the air as possible and then jumping off as far as possible – this is really fun!

Aside from the Original Huck Bird’s Nest®, there are now low-priced replicas in the market, which, however, accordingly have safety deficiencies as described by accident research specialists in their safety tips for schools and teachers. The Original Huck Bird’s Nest® stands for maximum safety:
A close-meshed chain link mat, on which children sit, prevents children from putting their arms or legs through the mesh when playing on the swing. The nest seat is smooth and gently rounded to ensure that the kids sit or lie ergonomically and feel safe and secure in the Bird’s Nest®.
The Huck chain link mat has been in use all over the world and has proved its reliability for about twenty years now. Unlike net seats, it doesn’t let dirt or rain water accumulate so that the children’s clothes stay clean and dry. The solid rope ring in 90 or 120 cm diameter has a rope wrapping with extra thick padding to ensure that the kids can play safely.
To provide maximum fun for both young and older children, Huck combines its Bird’s Nest® with various swing frames made of high-grade timber or colour-painted steel. The nest seat is optionally suspended by chains with red rubber fabric tubing (in public spaces or schools) or by the Huck Hercules steel wire rope (in kindergartens or day nurseries). Special suspension ensures safe swinging and longevity.
Huck’s high quality is also manifested in the additional polyamide abrasion protection in the intersections of the suspension chains as well as in the transition to the nest basket. These chains are covered in high-grade, weatherproof rubber tubing that is still flexible at low temperatures.
Huck backs all materials with a five-year warranty.
