Easebourne SafaMulch
Here is another completed Playsafe Playgrounds project for Easebourne Parish Council near Midhurst, West Sussex.
The Project involved the supply of play equipment, installation and SafaMulch Safety Surfacing.
Play Equipment – supplied by Dylan Play Ltd:
Supply and deliver a 4-seated hardwood robinia timber see saw. Having a 4 seated version of the see saw allows not only more users but also enables carers/parents to sit behind younger or less able bodied users to assist.
- Stainless steel see saw mechanism
- Tyre seat buffers set in ground under each end
SafaMulch Rubber:
Make a chase cut to the perimeter of see saw safety surface area ready to lay the surfacing.
Cut back an edge of 3 linear metres to the existing rubber surface and cart away any waste material.
Chase cut the remainder of the proposed perimeter totalling 11 linear metres ready to lay the surfacing.
Supply and lay the following area of Summer Yellow SafaMulch bound rubber shred safety surfacing at depths as required by critical fall heights –
- See saw – 20m2 at a 40mm depth over grass for a 2500mm CFH
- Slide runout surface extension to adjoin the stone path 12m2 at a 40mm depth over grass for a 2500mm CFH
Here’s some images of the completed project:
Playsafe Playgrounds SafaMulch – Bonded Rubber Safety Surfacing
The distinct advantage of the SafaMulch product is that it’s bonded and can be laid directly to a geotextile terram onto grass/soil, so doesn’t require any ground work preparation. SafaMulch is manufactured from premium tyre’s free from fibres and wire. The rubber bark is less than 5mm flat and textured like bark or fern. It is made in the UK using 100% recycled materials, will last and provide low maintenance for years, it’s unaffected by the environment avoiding the costs and trouble of annual replacement – the fade resistant colour ensures your play area it completely enhanced all year round.
SafaMulch bark will not absorb water – therefore dries quickly, will not freeze and will not attract animals or insects. It’s other key benefits are:
