Play Parachutes Prices and Sizes from SeamStress Ltd

Playchute Prices and Sizes

We would not recommend a Playchute smaller than 5m if you want to play all the games as a leader.

Because all our Playchutes are individually handmade, the finished diameter may vary. The sizes in the following tables are approximate finished dimensions.

Nominal Size (all sizes approximate)	Number of Sections	Price (in UK Pounds Sterling)

5m (just under) - (16')	14	£127	An ideal size for Rainbows, Beavers, Brownies and Cubs with up to 24 players.

5.5m - (18')	16	£154

DESIGNING YOUR PLAYCHUTE

Your Playchute can be any combination and sequence of the following colours (listed in Rainbow order):

Remember: Check the number of colours you have chosen are divisible into the number of sections in the size Playchute you have chosen. For example: 7 metre chute = 20 sectionscolour choices: 2 colours repeated 10 times
4 colours repeated 5 times
5 colours repeated 4 times
10 colours repeated twice

Centre Hole and ‘Caps'

Our Playchutes, of 5 metres and above, have a hole in the centre of approximately 46 cms/18". We incorporate the hole into much of our play as do most groups.

Occasionally groups like to have the option of a covered centre or ‘Cap.' We are able to provide these at an additional charge of £10 but this needs to be ordered at the same time as the chute as they are Velcroed together. Playchutes of 4 metres and under are made with smaller holes unless a cap is requested.

Wheelchair Chutes

We have designed a Playchute specifically for use with wheelchairs. This chute has a detachable centre circle more than a metre in diameter to allow for wheelchair passage when required. The price is as for regular Playchutes plus £25 for the special ‘Cap.'

Please note: this design is only appropriate for Playchutes of 6 m or more.

Handholds

For safety reasons, we do not put loops or hand-holds on our Playchutes. Accidents can happen when hands become entangled and such handholds are an unnecessary addition to any play parachute.

FREE with every Playchute

Choice of booklet of games - Either "Playchute Games" (suitable for all ages) or "Playchute Games for the Early Years" (written for 0 to 5 years). Both booklets compiled by SeamStress Ltd.
