Playground Rubber Mulch
To give your playground a classy look while still keeping your kids safe, consider playground rubber mulch
In order to maintain the safety of your children as they play on a playground, there are several options. The most time tested of these is the traditional sandbox where you simply line the area around the playground with a fine variety of sand like you would find at the beach. Alternatively, you can purchase one of many different rubber mat types so your kids can have a sturdy, flat surface to play on while providing more protection against injury than sand. Finally, a newly developed product for your backyard playhouse is playground rubber mulch. This looks just like regular mulch you might see after chopping up a tree or some grass, but is completely made out of synthetic materials. Furthermore, playground rubber mulch provides just as much cushion if one of your children were to fall as the rubber mats. If you are looking to give your backyard a high end look after adding in a playground, rubber mulch is certainly the way to go.
You can purchase playground rubber mulch in a huge variety of different colors and sizes. There are currently three different tree types available, including: pine, redwood and cedar. For those who want a more urban look to their playground, there are concrete and brick varieties available too. If your kids want to look like they have a playground resting atop some water, there is even blue playground rubber mulch available. For the more adventurous types, you can order your mulch premixed with any color varieties you want.
Playground rubber mulch is a much cheaper way to ensure your children's safety than the rubber mats, as the mulch generally only costs around four dollars per square foot. With only six inches in depth, you are guaranteed safety for any falls up to ten feet high. Also, rest assured in the knowledge that your playground rubber mulch is protected under a lifetime warranty against any possible problems due to weather or extreme heat or cold.
