Safe Playground Installers to Ensure Children’s Outdoor Safety

It seems that one of the most crucial factors that plays a great part when deciding what type of playground your facility needs is the safety of the surface. At Synthetic Turf Management we pride ourselves on safety and as playground installers we can create a completely bespoke and creative project that you won’t have to worry about.

Kids Health have published an article which centres around the safety of playgrounds. We are all aware of the benefits children’s playgrounds have (both in and out of schools) such as social skills, exercise and just being outside in the fresh air! However, we are also aware that accidents can happen and it is up to us as adults to step in and try to avoid any accidents if possible. That is why playground installers STM have safety surfaces. In Kids Health recommendations are to assess the playground before letting children use it. We urge you now to do just this. Take a look at the edges, the equipment, the softness/hardness of the falling surface and how high the equipment is. If there are any alarm bells don’t use the equipment and report these immediately.

Synthetic Turf Management specialise in just this. We can create a playground which has a number of benefits to ensure the safety of the users:

• Trip free edging of the synthetic turf
• Shock pads which are installed underneath the artificial turf and should be used regularly, particularly with play equipment which could have a critical fall height. Shock pads cushion falls and absorb the impact.
• Non-abrasive surfaces to limit cuts and scrapes
• Open structure which offers incredible drainage meaning a non-slip surfaced
• We focus heavily on the base works of our installations to ensure a safe surface so that, unlike concrete, there won’t be any delves or holes!

As credible playground installers, the first thing that we do is assess your needs in order to create a tailored designed project that will look fantastic, contribute to your syllabus, be used in PE sessions and allow every child to get valuable exercise in a safe environment.
