Outdoor Play Sets
by Aiden Chen Wooden Swing Set is Best GameAn Outdoor Play Sets
are a structure, which is erected outside to enable playing on and around for
children. Towers, bridges, ladders, sandboxes, slides, swings and monkey bars
comprise the typical components of an outdoor play set.
A major component of an outdoor play set is a tower. It is a
vertical structure, having one or more decks, placed at different levels. A
deck is basically a horizontal play surface, which is either contained within
or attached to a tower.
Bridges act as connectors between different towers to enable
children to walk through them. They are of two kinds, fixed bridges or chain
bridges.
Rope ladders and fixed ladders are the most common essentials
for play sets. Slides and sandboxes often accompany an Outdoor
Play Sets. Playground slides may be covered or uncovered.
Free-standing Swing Sets also form a
primary requirement of an outdoor play set, since swings are mounted on them.
Besides bridges, monkey bars also act as a connecting medium for towers.
Numerous materials are opted for surfacing the ground around a
play set. Sand, pea gravel, wood chips, shredded rubber, rubber mulch and
asphalt are some of them. The perimeter of the play yard is built from concrete
or wood material.
The surfacing depth of the play area must be done on the basis
of CPSC recommendation for the type of surface material and maximum possible
fall height.
Rubber mulch is a type of mulch, which is made from recycled
rubber. It is mainly used in gardens and for the purpose of sustainable
landscaping. It consists of waste tire buffings or nuggets of synthetic
rubber.
Both the nuggets and buffings insulate the soil from heat,
permitting a two or three degree Fahrenheit higher soil temperature difference
over wood mulch. For this reason, it is widely used in playgrounds as a
surfacing material.
It is non-porous and doesn't absorb water penetrating through
the soil, hence is beneficial for soil moisture. Its elasticity renders it a springy
quality, making it an ideal choice for playgrounds, where the extra springiness
provides safety for children, if they fall off from any play set
component.
