WHO WE ARE
About Lightmain
Lightmain is a UK playground equipment and outdoor sports facility manufacturer, based in South Yorkshire. We’ve been designing and making outdoor sport and play equipment for over 25 years.
Before sport and play, Lightmain made heavy-duty steel equipment for the South Yorkshire mining industry. We moved into sport, play and street furniture around 2000, using the same engineering skills.

OUR CUSTOMERS
Who We Work With
Here’s how we help the people we work with most often.
01.
Councils And Parish Councils
Replacing an ageing play area or refurbishing a MUGA? We’re an ESPO supplier, Constructionline Gold and CHAS accredited, and we quote for supply only or supply and installation.
02.
Schools And Academy Trusts
Working to a grant deadline? Tell us the date and we’ll plan the quote around it. Our dual rotating post gives you basketball and netball from one post.
03.
Contractors And Landscapers
Pricing a tender that names our products? We can supply only, with installation instructions, and send you product specifications for your bid.

Clubs And Community Groups
From a single goal end to a full MUGA, we’ll help you work out what fits your space and your funding.
Not on the list? That’s no problem. Padel clubs, holiday parks and pub gardens are just a few of the other places we work. Whatever your outdoor space, tell us about it.
WHY LIGHTMAIN
How We’re Different From Other Playground Equipment Manufacturers
One Team
Start To Finish
At Lightmain, one team designs, makes and installs your equipment, anywhere in the UK.
Made In
South Yorkshire
Our South Yorkshire facility fabricates it, so we control the quality at every stage and your budget stays in the UK.
Heavy-Duty Steel,
Made To Last
Hot-dip galvanising coats it in zinc inside and out, so it resists rust and needs little maintenance.
Here For
The Long Run
After handover, we refurbish, repair and maintain it, and we carry out RPII playground inspections.
TRUSTED AND VERIFIED
Accredited And Tender-Ready
We know trust matters, especially when it’s public money. That’s why we keep our accreditations up to date, so you can buy from us through frameworks like ESPO and get through pre-qualification more easily.
