You Can't Beat the Value
Safety Play is a great choice for homes, day care centers, riding arenas, and playgrounds because it's safe, clean, and easy to maintain. But what does it cost?
Safety Play is a durable product, and an excellent value. Over a 10 year period, you will see a significant savings in terms of maintenance, "retopping" (sand, bark, etc.), pulling weeds, applying herbicides and more.
Safety Play is a clean, neat, tangible product that can be sold with your playground mechanicals, too!

Formula:
10 feet by 10 feet times a depth of 6 inches equals 600 square feet. Take this times 2.75 which equals 1650 pounds. Divide by 100 square feet which equals 16.5 pounds per square foot times .26 cents a pound equals $3.96 per square foot. This formula is for 100 square feet at a 6 inch depth. It can be done the same way for any inch.
Playground and Obstacle-Course Use
Recommended Depth: 4" to 6" depending on Equipment Fall Height. 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." Safety Play provides that soft landing pad for kids. In fact, it exceeds CPSC guidelines for safety and resiliency. 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!
