Playground and Surface Materials Instructions:
Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with land-s
scape edging.
Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.s
Installations of rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces (other than loose-fill materials) s
generally require a professional and are not “do-it yourself” projects.
Use Playground Surfacing Materials (other than loose-fill material) which comply to the safety s
standard ASTM F1292 Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within
the Use Zone of Playground Equipment.

Place the equipment on a level, well-drained ground, not less than 6 ft (1.8 m) from any s
structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, or house.
Provide enough room so that children can use the equipment safely. For example, for struc-s
tures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing.
Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes away from s
swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the movement of the swings.
Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, s
carpet, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the
equipment user (see page 8).
To prevent serious injury, warn children that they must not use the equipment until properly installed.s
Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries – such as low overhanging tree s
branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks, and concrete.
Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tip-s
ping over and loose-fill surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains
