4 Important Questions to Ask When Installing a School Playground

A school playground plays just as important a part in the development and growth of the pupils as the classroom does. Almost every school has a playground of some sort and more and more of those schools that don’t, are making sure that they are not left behind. An assessment of the ages that will be using the playground is vital, as you need to ensure that you purchase the correct type of playground equipment. For most schools, their playgrounds will be aimed at the children attending the school so an age group of 4 to 13 years of age is the most appropriate. However, some schools open up their playgrounds to the community and in that instance, a wider age group will need to be catered for.

Seeking For School Playground Equipment

Sourcing playground equipment is an extremely important consideration. All school playground equipment(http://www.rhinoplay.com.au/products/outdoor-playgrounds.html) must be manufactured and certified to a particular standard to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children who will be using it. You should choose a manufacturer that has supplied playground equipment to other schools and contact them for a testimonial on their experience with that manufacturer.

What type of surfacing will you choose?

Surfacing is vital when it comes to installing a school playground. Children, by their very nature, tend to fall, slip and trip a lot so the most appropriate surfacing must be chosen in order to minimise injury and accidents. There are many different options to choose from, with rubber surfacing, mulch, grass and sand being among the most common choices.
