Capabilities
Everything under one roof
From the first shop drawing to the final QC gate — design, engineering, fabrication and finishing happen in-house, whether it's a standard catalog structure or a one-off custom piece.
Talk to the shop-
01
Design & engineering
Shop drawings, structural detail and a full bill of materials worked out before a single board is cut.
-
02
Composite lumber fabrication
Colorfast, splinter-free composite lumber cut and shaped to spec — weatherproof for decades outdoors.
-
03
Steel fabrication & welding
Powder-coat-ready steel frames and armatures welded to drawing — the durable skeleton under every build.
-
04
Powder-coat & finishing
Even, durable finishes primed, coated, cured and inspected for a true commercial-grade result.
-
05
Sculptural detail
Themed and artistic elements sculpted by hand — the character that turns a structure into a landmark.
-
06
QC & verification
A final gate checks every dimension, weld, finish and part against the bill of materials before anything ships.
How It Works
From concept to a verified, ready-to-ship build
We design, manufacture and verify every build by hand in our own American shop in Hollywood, Alabama — checked line by line before it leaves the floor.
- STEP 01
Design
We engineer the structure to the site and theme, with shop drawings and a full bill of materials.
- STEP 02
Fabricate
Cut composite lumber to spec and weld powder-coated steel armatures to the drawings.
- STEP 03
Coat & finish
Prime, coat and cure every surface, then inspect the finish for a durable, safe result.
- STEP 04
Verify
QC checks dimensions, welds, finish and hardware against the BOM — every line accounted for.
- STEP 05
Kit & deliver
Bag, label, photograph, weigh and crate every part so it arrives complete and install-ready.

Materials & Quality
Built to outlast the weather — and the warranty
Anything that lives outdoors has to survive years of sun, rain and hard use. We build with materials chosen for exactly that, and hold every build to commercial standards.
Composite / HDPE lumber
Colorfast, splinter-free, non-absorbent surfaces that don’t rot, warp or need repainting.
Powder-coated steel
Welded armatures with a tough, even powder-coat finish — inspected for sharp edges and flash.
Standards-aligned
Built to align with ASTM F963 and CPSIA §101/§108 requirements for commercial play equipment.
Documented & photographed
Weld joints, finish and packed contents are photographed and logged for full traceability.
±1/16″ tolerance
ASTM F963 aligned
Powder-coat finish
About
An American workshop where design meets manufacturing
“Every board cut to spec, every weld inspected, every part verified — built by hand in our American shop by people who take pride in the work. Whether it’s a standard catalog structure or a fully custom piece, we build it to last.”— Kiva DesignWorks
Catalog precision or fully custom
From standard catalog structures to fully custom furniture and sculpture — built to the same standard either way.
Verified before it ships
A final QC gate blocks any kit from shipping until every bill-of-materials line is pulled, checked and accounted for.
