Efficiency & Cost

Children’s play equipment requires safety surfacing to be laid within a specific radius to the apparatus. Previously, with straight timber or concrete edging sections, this radius was produced using hexagons, octagons and other straight edged shapes that all have a greater surface area than a circle and thereby require more fill material.

A flexible edging that can produce a perfect and more efficient circle keeps the required safety area and the fill material to a minimum.

Surface gradient preparation and installation costs can be kept to a minimum as the supple and pliant ‘Flexi-Edge’ product can climb and fall over slopes and uneven surfaces, whereas concrete or timber would need to be cut into small sections in order to hug the sloping ground.

Pricing of the ‘Flexi-Edge’ system is close to the current traditional methods and so from a cost point of view there may be a saving on the overall project cost too.
