When planning for play areas, safety is the first concern. A secure boundary and a steady surface is key to a safe play area, choose the equipment to suit your space and ground.The equipment should also be sighted within easy view of the house. Raised equipment needs to have adequate strong guardrails, with a non slip surface. A clear area is also needed with space to move arond the equipment free from hazards.
