It’s hard to think about inspections and repairs when you haven’t yet built your new playground. Still, industry estimates blame poor maintenance for at least one-third of all playground injuries—which means that early maintenance planning can minimize pain, suffering and lawsuits over the long haul. Plus, it keeps your play structure more environmentally friendly and long-lasting!
Key points to consider
-
Budget time and money for playground safety surface maintenance. The frequency of maintenance varies depending on usage, but all materials require it.
-
Prioritize your repairs list with those most serious at the top.
-
Schedule inspections using detailed checklists from the manufacturer. Landscape Structures customizes maintenance kits for each individual play structure purchase. This kit may help you determine maintenance frequency and guide you through the maintenance process.
