Application

Information based on CPSC critical height testing. The National Program for Playground Safety recommends that in general, 12” of uncompressed loose-fill material be used for equipment up to 8’ in height.

9” of Compressed uniform wood chips will provide safety for equipment with critical heights up to 6’

Materials are effective only when play areas are properly designed, prepared, installed, and maintained. Southwest Soils, Inc. recommends the use of qualified professionals in the design and construction of all playground areas and surfaces, in particular regards to proper drainage.  Materials should be checked periodically and replenished as to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented, no matter what surfacing material is used.
