Multi-Purpose Use: These borders aren’t just for playgrounds. They’re perfect for gardens and landscaping projects too. Available in various materials, colors, and finishes, our playground borders also act as playground edging, adding a polished look to your play area. Clean lines and defined boundaries help manage the flow of children, reduce overcrowding, and enhance overall visual appeal.
Our Playground Border Options
At AAA State of Play, we offer several types of playground borders to meet your needs:
Plastic Borders
Our plastic playground borders are lightweight but incredibly durable. They’re made using a blow-molding process that enhances structural integrity and ensures a high-quality finish. This method also adds resilience against outdoor elements, making these borders perfect for long-term use.
They come in 8-inch and 12-inch heights and include ground spikes for easy installation. The built-in ruler helps you maintain the correct depth of your mulch, making it a perfect playground mulch border.
- Product Highlight: 8 / 12-inch High ParKurb Border and Stake: These borders keep loose-fill surfacing in place and come in different sizes. They include stakes for secure installation and feature a wood grain or textured finish to match your playground’s look.
Rubber Borders
Looking for an eco-friendly option? Check out our Rubberific rubber borders. Made from recycled rubber, they’re available in brown, black, and red.
These borders come in heights of 4, 6, or 8 inches and can be easily installed using rebar anchors. Their flexibility and durability make them great for various landscaping needs.
- Product Highlight: Rubberific Rubber Border Timbers: These recycled rubber timbers are eco-friendly and very durable. They come in different colors and sizes, and their rounded tops add an extra layer of safety by minimizing the risk of injuries. Pre-drilled holes are not included, as anchors may be needed at various points depending on use, such as at a bend or just before a cut is needed.
Installation Tips
Installing playground borders properly is key to their effectiveness and longevity. Here are some tips to get you started:
- Prepare the Area: Clear the installation area of debris, rocks, or vegetation. Level the ground to create a stable base.
- Measure and Plan: Measure the perimeter of the play area and plan the layout. Mark where the borders and stakes will go.
- Secure the Borders: For plastic borders, use the included ground spikes to anchor them securely. For rubber borders, use rebar anchors for stability.
- Check Alignment: Make sure the borders are aligned correctly and form a continuous, unbroken barrier.
- Fill and Compact: Once the borders are in place, fill the play area with the appropriate surfacing material like rubber mulch. Compact the material to maintain the desired depth.
