Many of us was raised playing in playgrounds as children. It was another time then and in the summer you can play unsupervised from sunup to sundown, taking breaks only to grab an awesome drink of water from the garden hose. Things are much different these days and another of the changes in playground safety generally.
Nowadays over 80% of public playgrounds involve some type of protective surface around the equipment. Backyard playground are much different - only about 9% of home backyard playgrounds have any kind of protective surfaces, & most have only grass or dirt.
According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) this leads to over 69% of the 50,000 yearly injuries in a backyard playground. They are mostly injuries that could be prevented by using some type of playground tiles or other protective surface.
There are many types of surfaces you need to use to help protect your kids. Sand isn't recommended because kids can track it all over and remove it from the equipment area as well as get it to them. Wood mulch is better but constant maintenance and replenishment of the mulch is needed, otherwise low areas - bald spots occur where kids can get injured.
Rubber mulch or rubber pellets are much better in terms of cushioning and protection, however these have exactly the same problems as sand or wood mulch - they too will get tracked away from the equipment or hazard area.
Probably the best protective surface to use is rubber playground tiles, also referred to as playground mats. Rubber playground tiles are great because you will get many different thicknesses, from 1" to 4 1-4". This is great as the CPSC includes a statistic called the "Critical Height of Playground Equipment", which is the best point that kids can get to on any little bit of playground equipment. Once you know the critical height, you can figure out the thickness of playground tiles or mulch that's required for that area.
The rubber playground tiles likewise have holes on the bottom of them so they fit on virtually any surface. 안전놀이터 can get different colors of tiles to match the color scheme of the playground or make nice designs. They're also green and crafted from recycled rubber. They have interlocking edges so they're an easy task to install and the rubber material is breathable and resistant to damage. However, when some tiles do get damaged or worn out, it is possible to simply replace that tile or section of tiles. When assembling the tiles, a small amount of strong adhesive is used to connect them, that way kids can't pry them apart. Water dries in it quickly because the water doesn't pool up. Lastly these rubber tiles can be purchased in bright, primary colors that lots of kids love.
