Abstract

Claims (36)

1. A play structure, comprising:

a base segment;

a support surface comprising decking, a plurality of sides, and piping adapted for transmitting fluids;

a first frame coupled to a first side of the plurality of sides of the support surface and the base segment;

a second frame coupled to a second side of the plurality of sides of the support surface and the base segment; and

at least one panel removably coupled to the first frame or the second frame.

2. The play structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one panel is configured to be selectively decoupled from the first frame and thereafter selectively coupled to the second frame.

3. The play structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one panel is configured to be connected to the piping.

4. The play structure of claim 3 , wherein the piping is flexible piping.

5. The play structure of claim 3 , wherein the at least one panel further comprises piping disposed within the at least one panel.

6. The play structure of claim 1 , wherein the piping is disposed on a bottom side of the support surface.

7. The play structure of claim 1 , wherein the piping is also adapted for transmitting electricity.

8. The play structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one panel further comprises a play element.

9. The play structure of claim 8 , wherein the play component is a water spout, water geyser, water gun, or water jet.

10. The play structure of claim 8 , wherein the play component is an interactive element.

11. A play structure, comprising:

a support surface comprising decking, a plurality of sides, and piping adapted for transmitting fluids;

a plurality of monoliths, each monolith comprising a frame and at least one removable panel, wherein each monolith is coupled to one of the plurality of sides of the support surface;

wherein each monolith is adapted to be selectively decoupled from a first side of the support surface and thereafter selectively coupled to a second side of the support surface.

12. The play structure of claim 11 , wherein the piping is flexible piping.

13. The play structure of claim 11 , wherein at least one monolith of the plurality of monoliths further comprises piping disposed within the monolith.

14. The play structure of claim 11 , wherein the piping is disposed on a bottom side of the support surface.

15. The play structure of claim 11 , wherein the piping is also adapted for transmitting electricity.

16. The play structure of claim 11 , wherein at least one monolith of the plurality of monoliths further comprises a play element.

17. The play structure of claim 16 , wherein the play component is a water spout, water geyser, water gun, or water jet.

18. The play structure of claim 16 , wherein the play component is an interactive element.

19. A play structure, comprising:

a base segment;

a support surface comprising decking, a plurality of sides, and piping adapted for transmitting electricity;

a first frame coupled to a first side of the plurality of sides of the support surface and the base segment;

a second frame coupled to a second side of the plurality of sides of the support surface and the base segment;

at least one panel removably coupled to the first frame or the second frame.

20. A play structure, comprising:

a support surface comprising decking, a plurality of sides, and piping adapted for transmitting electricity;

a plurality of monoliths, each monolith comprising a frame and at least one removable panel, wherein each monolith is coupled to one of the plurality of sides of the support surface;

wherein each monolith is adapted to be selectively decoupled from a first side of the support surface and thereafter selectively coupled to a second side of the support surface.
