Frequently Asked Questions
Can playground borders be used with an ADA-accessible playground entrance?
Yes. Playground border systems can be combined with appropriate access ramps or entry components to provide a smoother transition into the play area. The complete playground design, including surfacing and access routes, should meet applicable accessibility requirements.
How do I determine how many playground borders I need?
Start by measuring the perimeter of the area you want to enclose. Divide the total perimeter by the length of each border section, then account for any entryways, ramps, corners, or other components included in your playground design. APS borders are 4' long.
Why are playground borders important for a play area?
Playground borders help keep loose-fill surfacing where it belongs, reducing the amount of material that spreads into surrounding areas. They also create a clean, clearly defined edge around the playground and can make routine maintenance easier.
