When designing outdoor soft play flooring, safety is the first priority (and fun is a close second). In addition to being built in a way that ensures kids’ safety, the surface of the playground must also be durable and easy to clean. This is why outdoor soft play flooring is such a great choice. It can be designed to suit any space, and it comes in a range of materials that include rubber tiles, turf, and even mulch.

One of the most popular types of surfacing is modular rubber tiles. These are easily installed by gluing them down with SureStick adhesive and they’re able to withstand a lot of wear and tear. These tiles are also available in a wide range of colors, making them easy to match with any theme. They’re also fall height rated and can be used to make ADA compliant ramps.

Another type of surfacing that is easily installed and can withstand a lot of wear and tear is playground turf. This is a synthetic grass that’s specifically designed for the challenges of playgrounds and it’s available in a variety of colors so you can customize your playground. It’s a good choice for those who want to save on upkeep as it doesn’t require re-mulching like wood mulch does and it can be swept or hosed down to keep it looking nice.

Another option for a playground surface is PolySoft, which is made from colored beads and can be poured into different geometric patterns or fantasy shapes to create a playful design. It’s a good choice for areas that get a lot of sunlight because it has been shown to reflect more of the sun’s rays than other surfaces such as concrete.
