Hi Jennifer,
The Exploratorium had a lot of experience in this area when they created the
Geometry Playground (think giant, climb-on geometric shapes). They went
through a lot of prototyping for scale, safety, etc., and it was built in
house. You can see an image of one of the prototypes here:

I'm sure someone from there will rsvp too!
Have fun,
Maria Mortati
