SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5
Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100 000
playground equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground
surface are treated annually in US hospital emergency rooms. Injuries
involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all
playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal, particularly when the
injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment can
be a major factor in determining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is
self-evident that a fall on to a shock-absorbing surface is less likely to
cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment
should never be placed on hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt, and
while grass may appear to be acceptable, it may quickly turn to hard-packed
earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, tine sand or
the gravel are considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces when
installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground
equipment.
Table B.1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to
sustain a lifethreatening head injury in a fall on to four different loose-
fill surfacing materials if they are Installed and maintained at depths of 150
mm, 225 mm and 300 mm.
TABLE B.1: Fall height in millimetres from which a life-threatening head injury would not be expected.
TYPE OF MATERIAL
Double Shredded Bark Mulch Wood Chips Fine Sand Fine Gravel
DEPTH OF SURFACING MATERIAL
150mm 1800 1800 1500 1800
225mm 3000 2100 1500 2100
300mm 3300 3600 2700 3000
However, it should be recognised that all injuries due to falls cannot be
prevented, no matter what surfacing material is used.
It is recommended that a shock absorbing material extend a minimum of 1800mm
in all directions from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbing
frames and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a
moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear
of a swing a minimum distance of twice the height of the pivot point measured
from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-
absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is
recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when
properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished
to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for the equipment in
question. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the
playground equipment, the availability of the material in a particular area,
and its cost.

IV. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Please keep for future reference.
We recommend regular maintenance to be conducted at the beginning of each
season as well as at regular intervals during the usage session for your play
equipment to ensure all main parts/fixings are tightly secured, well-oiled and
intact to avoid failure, injury or hazards. GENERAL ADVICE It is of particular
importance that this is followed at the beginning of each season as well as at
regular intervals during the usage season. · Check the accessories monthly as
well as the play equipment’s structure to prevent falling risks. · Check and
retighten screws, bolts, and all other hardware elements as necessary.
a. Do not over tighten to avoid damaging the thread or cracking the
surrounding wood. · Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace
when required. · Lubricate all moving metallic parts. · When signs of
oxidation and / or rust appear on various metallic parts of your equipment,
sand rusted areas and tubular members and repaint using a non-lead-based paint
when required. · Where applicable: check swing seats, chains, ropes, and other
means of attachment for evidence of deterioration. · Replace when required in
accordance with the owner’s manual. If your play structure is disassembled, be
sure to clearly mark any attached metal plates to prevent accidents. Check all
bolt covers and sharp edges and replace them if necessary. For longer
accessory life, we suggest storing them during the winter.
16 MAINTENANCE
V. WOOD ADVICE
Our products are manufactured from premium timber. Great care is taking in
selecting, machining, and treating the timber before it is sold to you. 1.
Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in dry
periods causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to
maintain a safe environment. Treating your Product with protection (sealant)
after sanding will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather
damage. 2. The wood is treated via high temperature drying, degreasing and is
stained against wood rot and insect damage (Termites not included). This is
not a permanent treatment as weather conditions can wear it down. We recommend
once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply
some type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the
application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please
note this is a requirement of your warranty. Bear in mind that timber is a
natural product and may experience changes throughout the course of its life.
It may: · Develop openings/checks (gaps, slits, a pertures, cracks) along the
line of the grain. · Fade as the timber reacts with sunlight. All woods are
hygroscopic, that is, it will absorb or discharge moisture to attain
equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere. Timber openings/checks occur due
to the moisture content between internal and outer surfaces of the timber. No
two pieces of wood are exactly alike. Each piece has its own characteristics
and personality and reacts differently to climate changes. When any wood
products are exposed to the elements, it develops `wood checks’. A check is
the radial separation of the wood fibres running with the grain of the wood.
These are caused by the varying temperature and moisture conditions. A check
does not affect the strength or durability of the wood or structural integrity
of the play set.
WOOD ADVICE 17
WHEN SHOULD WOOD CRACKS BE A CONCERN?
Most of the wood splits will never become large enough to affect the
reliability and strength of our products, however, there can be rare cases
where splits can occur. This happens when a crack develops past the halfway
point from the timber, splitting it into two separate pieces.
Feel free to contact us with detailed pictures of your product so we can
assess and ensure that your playground remains safe.

Dimensional timber contains very little heart wood so less splits can be seen.

3. Mould and Mildew Protecting against mould and mildew on your outdoor
equipment is an important step in maintaining your backyard. Mould may develop
for several reasons, such as certain weather conditions, improper drainage or
infrequent usage. Here we’ll share our tips for keeping your outdoor areas
free of mould and mildew so that you can enjoy your backyard with peace of
mind.
Once you spot mould on your equipment, it’s important to start clearing it up
straight away. The first step is to scrub it off with soap and water, until
all the visible signs of mould are removed. It’s important to remember
however, that just because you can’t see it anymore doesn’t mean it’s gone.
The next step is to kill off the remaining mould so that it doesn’t grow back.
Here are a few options, but keep in mind these should be used independently.
Don’t mix or combine these methods at the same time.
Mould Killer or Removal Spray You can purchase off-the-shelf removal sprays
that destroy mould either indoors or outdoors. For these products, make sure
to follow the product instructions as well as wearing protective gloves to
avoid contact with skin.
18 WOOD ADVICE
Bleach A solution of bleach and water can also be highly effective in killing
mould. For this method, mix the water and bleach on a 1 to 1 ratio, then use a
sponge or brush to scrub the affected area. You can also use a higher
concentration of bleach for spot treating. After bleach treatment, make sure
to rinse off your equipment and allow to dry. Vinegar If mould is still
lingers after applying bleach or a mould spray, vinegar will be an effective
option for removing stubborn remnants. Vinegar will kill most types of mould
and is best for nonporous materials like hard plastics or metal. The best
method is to fill a spray-bottle with undiluted white vinegar of at least 5%
acetic aced. Spray the affected area, then let sit for around an hour. Make
sure to thoroughly rinse off afterwards. For wooden equipment, you can add a
coat of paint or stain after it has thoroughly dried. Some people may find
that mould keeps resurfacing after cleaning on certain areas. This can be due
to a few reasons, such as poor sunlight. Areas without direct sun are more
likely to become damp and take longer to dry off after rain. Consider removing
obstacles or rearranging your equipment so that it For more information:
