Safety Surfacing

At Tollbar School we were requested to put some safety surfacing down. Safety surfacing is a great way to give the finishing touches to an area, provide it with more vibrance than just tarmac and gives the area that extra piece of safety for when the children are using their trim trail. Our safety surfacing ranges from rubber mats, wet pour, rubber bark, rubber tiles, artificial grass, rubber grass mats and play bark.

Tollbar Primary wanted bark to be used for the surfacing to give the finishing touches to the trim trail that they had installed. We suggested that rather than having a wooden bark, it would be more ideal for a rubber bark to be laid down for the safety surfacing as this would be much softer and would prevent less injury or accidents if a child did fall.

This school previously had the trim trail installed by us at a previous date. Tollbar wanted to refresh their playground through the use of safety surfacing. At Greenfield Leisure we can come out at any time and install safety surfacing of your choosing around existing school playground equipment.

Installation of rubber bark safety surfacing

Before the safety surfacing is distributed we lay a weed-proof membrane which is pegged tightly to the ground, this stops sunlight hitting the ground and prevents any unwanted plants from growing through the wooden bark. Once the membrane is down we tip the safety surfacing onto the ground and distribute it evenly by raking it out.

Even if we didn’t install any equipment we will still provide our safety surfacing services. We do also provide items similar to this tire park, too. We start by filling the safety surfacing under the tyres and hard to reach places to ensure that the safety surfacing is filled in all the gaps.

Here’s the trim trail we installed in the past and is still looking in great condition. This is where we began to distribute the safety surfacing across the trim trim trail, this gives the school playground a more finished look.

The areas now fully covered and levelled over with bark. This is an ideal solution for any play equipment or a popular area that needs a more friendly service. Now that this playground has its safety surfacing down, the playground looks more appealing and is providing a safe environment for the children to enjoy and play on.

Here is another angle, as you can see the safety surfacing has been spread evenly and has been levelled across the playground, if any children do fall the rubber bark safety surfacing will provide a softer landing and will prevent injuries.
