Albanian factory playgrounds Bashny.Net

Beautifully filmed in the morning on the lake Koman, we headed into town Shkodar, and suddenly ... slammed on the brakes. Right among the mountains of garbage, dull coating side of the road against the background of a stormy sky, a bright spot stood out ... the elements of playgrounds - slides, towers, castles, swings, ladders, etc.
 - Children's Playground - lazily threw Sasha ...
 - Yes figs there - this is their doing here! - My answer.
And at this point, to hit the brakes. How can you miss this story from Albania?





We stop, get out of the car, a couple of shots.
Indeed, like a small factory for the production of children's playgrounds.
Well, let's go to visit asking for a tour ...



On the square in front of the hangar, and not a soul extravaganza of colors!
Well pass by?



And then we notice that people that is. They just hide behind the door of the hangar, looking at the Daihatsu Terios landed from a small landing, from head to toe hung with cameras and interchangeable lenses.



Italian beckons us to approach (half-day spent in Albania, was enough to clear that to talk with the residents of the country in English is completely useless. They only understand their language and almost all Italian.
It suits us Sr. and his assistant.
We did not say that we bloggers (still think that this is something dangerous) and say that photographers simply studying the life of the Balkans.
The boys immediately calm down, something to shout his work and was happy to agree to show his small production.



Senior personally opens the heavy doors of the hangar and invites us inside to show how they make these colorful plastic construction



Inside the hangar about a dozen workers and a huge amount of fiber, half of preprinted forms and blanks, as well as a strong smell of paint



All items these people make fiberglass that is supplied to them in large rolls.
Then, glass fibers impregnated with resin, and the future of the product is shaped.



For to give it shape, made a special layout.
It can be done from a variety of materials - plywood, foam, clay, foam, etc.



Resin-impregnated fiberglass cloth applied to the layout, where it freezes.
There may be several layers, depending on whether the product thickness is necessary.
In addition, often in the resin once the dye is added to give the product the desired color, such as this children's typewriter.



Containers with ingredients for resins and dyes



The basic form for one of the components of the future playground.
Apparently, it will be a roof.



Forms for the flat elements of slides



These guys took off with a frozen blank forms and prepare it for re-filling.



Thick plastic man who for some reason is not needed and is waiting for a better fate



The form for the manufacture of aircraft



Area in front of the hangar, where do all these bright children's slides.
On it there are ready-made products.
They caught our attention when we were driving on the highway in Shkodar



Hill tower and a slide-elephant



It can not only make children's playgrounds, but also more complicated things



At some point, the senior master invited to see another interesting site.
We went for the hangar and saw here ... baths, plastic pools, and ...



... Sink for bathrooms and kitchens.
After their carefully crafted from pieces cut out, washing will get the "right" labels of famous Italian firms and will be shipped to the stores where they sell for a lot of money.
On the other hand, here all speak Italian. So wash Italian)



When we left, we went to spend all the staff of this small plastic factory.
