In backyards, rubber mulch under swings, slides, monkey bars, and ladders cushions falls and prevents injuries. Its vibrant colors also add visual appeal. Meanwhile, engineered wood fiber derived from pine offers a natural look with similar protective abilities. Though it requires occasional replenishing, the organic material blends into landscaping. Commercial playgrounds utilize these same materials on a larger scale under and around equipment. Rubber mulch or engineered wood fiber fill in play areas, sometimes to depths of 12 inches or more. Borders hold these surfaces in place. For home swing-sets, simple treated timber or cedar planks work well. But commercial playgrounds rely on thick plastic lumber borders that interlock around the perimeter. These durable borders maintain the containment and depth of the surfacing for safety.
