Did you know?
There have been some safety changes to the playgrounds standard?
All playground manufacturers in NZ now make their playground
equipment with impact pads on any decks that have overheads
off them such as monkey bars / twister rings / gladiator rings /
flying fox (monorails) and skywalkers.

Rubber pads help prevent serious injury.
Deck Impact Pads are also necessary on decks that have a ladder off them which are  more than a metre high. The risk of falling backwards onto them and causing injury is high.
On older playgrounds we can retro fit 60mm thick rubber deck pads that will prevent serious injuries from falls. We make these to order as every deck is a different size and shape and then fit them for you if necessary.
