INFORMATION ON PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS
The following information is from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Information
Sheet for playground surfacing material. Additional Information can be found here:

SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK
Select Protective Surfacing
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing
under and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with
ASTM F 1292. There are dierent types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:
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 eectiveness. 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.
Loose-Fill Materials:
• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loose-ll materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood ber (EWF), or
shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feet high.
NOTE: An initial ll level of 12 inches will compress to about a 9-inch depth of surfacing overtime. The surfacing will also compact,
displace, and settle, and should be periodically relled to maintain at least a 9-inch depth.
• 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.)
• 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-ll surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose-ll 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-ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles
You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-ll 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 specication 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 Specication for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing
Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specic 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.
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.
