Karmah Trading & Services (KTS), based in Doha since 2004, supplies commercial-grade Playground Equipment for schools, nurseries, public parks, residential compounds, hotels, and community recreation areas throughout Qatar. Our playground range includes multi-play structures, swings, slides, climbing frames, spring riders, seesaws, fitness trails, and inclusive play equipment — all designed for safety, durability, and engagement in Qatar's demanding climate.
Playground equipment in Qatar faces environmental challenges that consumer-grade products cannot withstand. Surface temperatures on exposed metal and plastic can exceed 70°C during summer months, UV radiation degrades colours and mechanical properties of polymers, and sand abrasion erodes moving parts. KTS selects playground systems from manufacturers that specifically engineer for Gulf climate conditions, using UV-stabilized HDPE panels (with 8+ year UV warranties), powder-coated hot-dip galvanized steel frames (duplex coating system), and stainless steel fasteners.
Safety is the primary specification criterion. All playground equipment supplied by KTS meets EN 1176 (Playground Equipment Safety) and EN 1177 (Impact Attenuating Playground Surfacing). Our team ensures that equipment is installed with correct fall zones, minimum spacing, and age-appropriate access controls. We pair every installation with EPDM rubber safety surfacing from our Sports Division, sized to the Critical Fall Height (CFH) of each piece of equipment.
For schools and nurseries, KTS provides age-segmented play zones: toddler areas (2–5 years) with low-level platforms, gentle slides, and sensory play panels; junior zones (5–8 years) with climbing nets, tube slides, and balance beams; and senior zones (8–14 years) with challenging climbing walls, monkey bars, and aerial walkways. Each zone is colour-coded and spatially separated per EN 1176 requirements.
Inclusive (accessible) play equipment ensures that children with mobility, sensory, or cognitive differences can participate in play. KTS supplies wheelchair-accessible roundabouts, sensory play panels with tactile and auditory elements, and transfer platforms that allow wheelchair users to access elevated play structures.
KTS has installed playground equipment in over 50 schools and 20 residential compounds across Qatar. Our project service includes site survey, equipment selection with 3D layout rendering, concrete foundation and surfacing preparation, equipment installation, safety inspection, and handover with maintenance guidelines.
All installations are accompanied by an EN 1176 compliance certificate and a recommended annual inspection schedule. KTS offers annual safety inspection contracts to maintain compliance throughout the equipment's service life. Contact +974 44505001 or karmah@kts-qatar.com for a playground consultation.
