A safe place for children often starts with protecting what is already there. Lernen & Spielen came to us with a project for one of their customers, a daycare in Germany, where metal posts of different sizes needed extra protection against bumps during everyday play. Standard solutions didn’t fit, so we developed a tailor-made Pillar Protection that is safe for children and built to last.
Custom Protection for Metal Posts
The project involved six existing metal posts in two different diameters: four of approximately 10 cm and two of approximately 7.5 cm. Because standard dimensions didn’t fit, we made a customised solution with a zipper closure. Six grey protection elements of two metres each were produced specifically for the two post sizes and installed in June 2025.
The zipper closure gives a practical and secure fit, while adding a soft protective layer around the hard posts. This project shows how Pillar Protection can be adapted to non-standard situations, improving safety around existing structures without the need for major structural alterations.
More than a year after installation, our contact at Lernen & Spielen shared that the protection is still firmly in place and works well in everyday use.
At first there had been some concern that children might pull at the padding or try to open the zippers, but this turned out not to be an issue at all.
He was very pleased with the result and described it as “the best” solution he had seen so far.
Our Pillar Wall Guard
The Arte Viva Pillar Wall Guard is a soft, flexible and shock-absorbing protector designed to help reduce the risk of injury when children bump into hard surfaces such as pillars, walls or corners.
For this project, we supplied the material as customised covers to fit the specified post dimensions. This shows how our Pillar Wall Guard can be adapted to different structures and project requirements.
Lernen & Spielen arranged installation for its customer in Germany. By sharing dimensions, checking the sample material and providing feedback after installation, our partner helped us find a practical solution for the project.
