FHS – that’s joy, craftsmanship, and play since 1984
Since 1984, FHS has stood for joy, craftsmanship, and play. Our journey began with a small team and a single swing in Arnsberg. The vision of our founder, Reinhard Gebhardt: handcrafted play equipment that excites children, encourages movement and creativity, and enables direct interaction with nature.
Today, we develop play equipment that make all children's eyes light up! From classic climbing frames to custom-designed play structures: our goal is always to promote movement, creativity, and social interaction. With our heartfelt project INKLUViSION, we create playgrounds that welcome everyone.
Additionally, we offer fitness equipment for public spaces as well as park furnishings. Our customers primarily include municipalities, city administrations, and planning offices.
Craftsmanship and sustainability in harmony: what defines us
Our play equipment combines craftsmanship with sustainable, long-lasting materials: we use Robinia wood, ideal for outdoor use, as the main material, complemented by (stainless) steel, PE/HPL panels, and high-quality modern plastics. This ensures each of our play structures is durable, sustainable, and safe.
With over 500 products, we represent the highest quality both in Germany and internationally. Our themed, sand, and water play stations, as well as climbing, balancing, sliding, swinging, and seesawing equipment, delight children in kindergartens, schools, and public spaces. Our equipment is not only functional but also aesthetically appealing, blending harmoniously into any environment. Throughout, we remain true to our values: child-friendly design, precision, and attention to detail.
Our mission and why we love playgrounds
For us, play is more than just fun. Play means adventure, movement, and social interaction. For young and old – for everyone. With play solutions that are safe and sustainable, we contribute to helping children explore the world freely and playfully. This is both our work and our passion: that is why we accompany projects from the initial idea to installation – personally and reliably.
With more than 800 successful projects and an experienced team of over 100 employees, we are your partner for forward-thinking playgrounds that bring joy to everyone.
Play spaces for a sustainable society
Playgrounds are more than "just" places to play. They are spaces of freedom. Especially in cities, where access to natural open spaces is limited, they provide an essential space for children's physical and mental well-being.
Moreover, playgrounds are places of encounter. Here, children from different backgrounds come together, break down barriers, and learn from each other. When playgrounds are barrier-free, they naturally contribute to an inclusive society. Thus, playgrounds actively foster a future-oriented, respectful community
Why FHS?
Because we don’t "just" manufacture play equipment. We create experiences. Together with you, we design play and recreational worlds that inspire children and create lasting memories. Our child-friendly products stand for safety, sustainability, and community. Let’s plan your play space together! We support projects from the initial consultation to the installation of the play equipment.
