Need something bespoke? Thanks to their in-house manufacturing team, they can customise everything — from colours to full design builds. If it’s made of steel and you can imagine it, they can probably make it.


While they’re proudly Northern, their reach is nationwide — they’ve even installed a MUGA on Ascension Island. Lightmain's mission is simple: deliver high-quality, low-maintenance products that stand the test of time.


Their Fit and Forget’ philosophy reflects this — and every heavy-duty steel product they make comes with a 25-year guarantee.


They also pride themselves on brilliant customer service. Whether you’re at the ideas stage or ready to build, they’ll guide you through every step.

We are delighted to see the completion of the refurbishment of the play area. We recognise the importance of providing a safe and enjoyable place for children and young people to play and socialise, which we hope the improvements will help to deliver.’ – Councillors Joanna Baker-Rogers and Michael Bennett-Sylvester, councillors for Dalton and Trybergh Ward


The dual rotating posts from Lightmain are a game changer for our outdoor courts, giving us the flexibility, we need in our busy sports centre. The quality is great, and they’re super quick and easy to use. Lightmain were professional and helpful at every step, from ordering to delivery and installation, and we think they look great in our signature green!’ – Helen Redford-Sears, events & sales manager, University of Nottingham


I think the new courts are great, I think they’re incredibly popular. If you come down any evening in the week after school there are loads of kids playing on it, sometimes there are 4 different games going on at the same time! It’s been a massive success, we’ve had people telling us via the Facebook group how popular it is, my neighbours son comes down every week to use it. It’s been a huge thing and made a massive difference to the park.’ – Michael Jones, volunteer for the Bingham Park Community Group
