Rubber Playground (loose fill) Surfacing
rubber playground surfacing  Playgrounds can be dangerous places. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stated that "protective surfacing for playgrounds is the most critical safety factor because approximately 75% of children's injuries are caused by falls." Rubber mulch provides that soft landing pad for kids. In fact, it exceeds CPSC guidelines for safety and resiliency. This loose-fill material creates a surface air cushion that will actually absorb impact and rebound quickly. Rubber mulch is heavier than water therefore it won't blow or wash away. Maintenance is also easy. It can be leveled with a common yard rake, and washed by simply hosing it off. It drains so well that even after a hard rain it is usually ready for play in less than 30 minutes!
 
To calculate the area of a

Square or Rectangle

calculate square area

Multiply width in feet by height in feet = total square feet

Circle

calculate circle area

Divide the diameter feet in half.  Multiply the answer times itself. Multiply the result times 3.1415927 = total square feet

Triangle
calculate triangle area

Multiply the base in feet times the height in feet.  Divide the answer by two = total square feet

The CPSC recommends a 6" depth of loose rubber, which will attenuate up to a  10' fall height. If the highest fall height of the equipment is 5' or less, customer may wish to choose 4" depth.
