Ron Harley - Bliss Products and Services Playground & Outdoor Equipment Sales Rep. - Florida Panhandle

Serving Communities from Pensacola to Tallahassee

I help parks, schools, and community groups across the Florida Panhandle, from Pensacola to Tallahassee. With a background in commercial construction and years at Bliss Products and Services, I keep projects practical and code ready.
 
Send site notes, dates, and a quick sketch or photo. I will return two or three clear choices with pros and cons, drawings, pricing ranges, lead times, and submittals so your team can compare and approve.
 
My recommendations cover playgrounds, shade, safety surfacing, shelters, pre-engineered restrooms and buildings, bleachers and sports, and site furnishings. I match finishes and mount types to wind ratings, sun, humidity, and salt air.
 
I stay involved from first call through installation, coordinating with purchasing, facilities, and contractors. Budgeting is straightforward, and I can point buyers to cooperative contracts through Bliss Products and Services.
 
If you have a target date, send it with the site details and I will take it from there.

Most projects start with a similar set of needs. I help you match the right items to your site, budget, codes, and long-term maintenance so decisions are clear and easy to make.

  • Play structures, climbers, and independent play
  • Shade canopies and umbrellas
  • Safety surfacing: PIP rubber, turf, EWF
  • Park shelters, pavilions, restrooms
  • Dog parks and agility courses
  • Outdoor fitness, site furnishings, bike parking, waste bins
  • Field and court sports equipment, bleachers
  • Inclusive layouts with ADA-aware choices
I design for turnout, long life, and easy upkeep. I size layouts to your space, confirm wind ratings, coatings, and mount types for the Panhandle, and return clean submittals with drawings, specs, pricing ranges, and lead times. Send the site location or a GPS pin and your target date, and I will handle the next steps.

Whether you’re working on a schoolyard renovation in Blountstown, a city park upgrade in Port St. Joe, or transforming an underused lot in Bonifay into a vibrant neighborhood pocket play area, I’m here to help make the process smoother, clearer, and more rewarding.  From the earliest planning stages to ribbon-cutting day and beyond, you’ll have a knowledgeable, hands-on partner every step of the way.

Let’s create something lasting – a place where families gather, kids explore, and communities thrive – together, under the Florida sun.  If you can dream it, I can help you build it – and I’ll make sure it’s done right.

Recent Bliss Products and Services Projects:

From Fort Walton Beach to Blountstown, I’ve worked with parks departments, school teams, and city planners to take outdoor space ideas and turn them into something real. What makes these projects work isn’t just the equipment – it’s listening to the goals, figuring out the right fit, and making sure the end result is something the community can be proud of. Explore recent Bliss Products and Services projects from the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, browse at your leisure, and get ideas for your next project.

No two projects are ever quite the same – and that’s one of the things I enjoy most about this work. Whether you’re just starting to sketch ideas or already have a clear direction, I’m happy to help you think it through and find the right fit for your space. I’ll share what’s worked well in other Florida communities, walk you through the details, and make sure you feel confident moving forward. Big or small, if you’ve got a project on the horizon, I’d love to be part of it.

Popular Outdoor Products for the Florida Panhandle Communities

In my territory, the most requested pieces are the workhorses that hold up to sun, salt, wind, and daily use. Benches and picnic tables with durable coatings, lidded trash and recycling, wind-rated shade and pavilions, poured-in-place rubber or turf surfacing, bleachers, bike racks, dog-park features, and outdoor fitness are the core set I specify again and again.

Send a few site notes or a quick sketch. I will confirm sizes, coatings, and mount types for each location and return cut sheets, quantities, and clear budget ranges, with fast-lead options when schedules are tight.

Upgrades do not have to be complicated. We will choose coatings, anchors, and hardware that last in Panhandle conditions, and I will outline upkeep and warranties so budgeting is clear.
