An initial fill level of 12 inches will compress to
about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time.
The surfacing will also compact, displace, and
settle, and should be periodically refilled to
maintain at least a 9- inch depth.
2.
Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective
surfacing for play equipment less than 4
feet in height. If maintained properly, this
should be adequate. (At depths less than 6
inches, the protective material is too easily
displaced or compacted.) NOTE: Do not install
home playground equipment over concrete,
asphalt, or any other hard surface. A fall onto
a hard surface can result in serious injury to
the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not
considered protective surfacing because wear
and environmental factors can reduce their
shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and
thin mats are generally not adequate protective
surfacing. Ground level equipment – such as
a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other
equipment that has no elevated play surface -
does not need any protective surfacing.
3.
Use containment, such as digging out around
the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with
landscape edging. Don't forget to account for
water drainage. Check and maintain the depth
of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain
the right amount of loose- fill materials, mark
the correct level on play equipment support
posts. That way you can easily see when to
replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing. Do
not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces
such as concrete or asphalt.
4.
Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured
Rubber Tiles -You may be interested in using
surfacing other than loose-fill materials - like
rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
Installations of these surfaces generally require
a professional and are not "do-it-yourself"
projects. Review surface specifications
before purchasing this type of surfacing.
Ask the installer/manufacturer for a report
showing that the product has been tested to
the following safety standard: ASTM F 1292
Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation
of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of
Playground Equipment. This report should
23
show the specific height for which the surface
is intended to protect against serious head
injury. This height should be equal to or
greater than the fall height - vertical distance
between a designated play surface (elevated
surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and
the protective surfacing below - of your play
equipment. Check the protective surfacing
frequently for wear.
5.
Placement-Proper placement and maintenance
of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure
to: Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the
equipment in all directions. For to-fro swings,
extend protective surfacing in front of and
behind the swing to a distance equal to twice
the height of the top bar from which the
swing is suspended. For tire swings, extend
surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to
the height of the suspending chain or rope,
plus 6 feet in all directions.
