2023 Buyers Guide

Founded in 1865 as a company producing steel cable for the elevator industry, Berliner was the first company in 1971 to develop commercial playground equipment using steel reinforced rope. For the last 45 years Berliner has established its name as the world leading manufacturer of net climbers, with its North American headquarters located in Greenville SC. The products range from traditional stand-alone nets to custom net playgrounds, establishing the motto, Custom Is Our Standard.

The uniqueness of Berliner living playgrounds encourage interaction, challenge, and fun for children of all ages and abilities. Climbing, swinging, and balancing promotes agility, coordination, strength, and achievement in a playful environment for child development and learning.

For five decades, Berliner has been providing exciting products for playgrounds around the world. The state of the art technology, combined with the use of uncompromising materials, ensures safety and durability next to none with many of the first structures produced still in use today. This longevity is due to Berliner technology in their components, tensioning systems, connectors, clamps, and quality rope with the ability to replace sections vs. complete nets. Due to our longevity, Berliner guarantees part availability for the life of the structure defining another motto, Play Equipment for Life.

We don't just think green, we work green. It defines the way we build playgrounds and the way we think. All of our products meet and exceed the regulations for lead in paint, phthalates, PVC free, reduced carbon footprint to protect both, children and the environment.

  Playground goes art gallery!

  Playgrounds and art can be combined wonderfully in public spaces, as is proven by Berliner's latest innovation. Thanks to the warmth of its wood and its undulating curves, Cloverwood – as we call our play sculpture – is at once inviting and aesthetically appealing. Both the frame and the flat netting offer playground fans an exciting challenge on which to climb, layaway and balance.
