Artificial Grass for Play Areas in Sheffield

The use of artificial grass for play areas in Sheffield has become increasingly common. This is due to its superior safety benefits compared to concrete or tarmac surfaces in terms of slip and fall prevention. Additional underlay options can further enhance the safety performance of artificial turfs. Moreover, areas of artificial grass enables pupils and teachers to enjoy an outdoor play area throughout the year. Even in wet conditions, a good quality installation can significantly reduce water buildup on the surface. Additionally, artificial turf provides superior drainage compared to rubber mulch and does not emit unpleasant odors, or deteriorate like wood chippings. Overall, it offers a durable, low-maintenance surface that requires minimal cleaning when pupils return inside.

Artificial grass for Nursery Schools in Sheffield

The same principles apply for artificial grass in nurseries as in play areas. Nurseries often require higher levels of foam underlay for additional shock absorption. It is mandatory for any establishment responsible for children's welfare to have the appropriate Head Impact Criteria (HIC) under climbing frames. The HIC is determined by the potential height from which a child could fall. Usually, a 20mm foam shock underlay is sufficient for compliance since most children's climbing frames are not very high.

Frequently Asked Artificial Grass for Play Areas Questions:

  • What's the different between artificial grass and artificial grass in a play area in Sheffield?

    The main difference is the additional layer of shock-absorbing pads that are fitted underneath the layer of fake grass. This is specifically what makes it most suitable for play areas with climbing frames, and the risk of children falling onto it from a height is greatest.

    A good choice is thicker and softer pile fibers to provide additional cushioning against falls.

  • Can you advise on the best artificial grass our school?

    Of course, it's what we do. Whether it is for a multi-sport use or one specialist sport we will advice on the most suitable pile height and density so that the users of the artificial grass enjoy it the most.

  • How much does it cost to fit artificial grass for a play area in Sheffield?

    Fitting a shock-absorbing play area will cost more than a normal artificial garden lawn. This is simply down to the cost of the additional shock absorbing pads and the additional installation time required to fit these.

  • Does artificial grass last shorter in a play area?

    As long as the correct footwear has been used, then there should be no reason why artificial grass in a play area should last less than in a garden.

  • Is any different maintenance required on artifical grass in a play area?

    No. The same maintenance of keeping loose debris and leaves from forming on the top of the artificial grass in a play area is just as in a garden. The shock-absorbing pads are hidden beneath the fake grass top and should last as long as the grass itself without any special maintenance requirements. For younger children and nurseries, you may want to treat it with anti-bacterial agents to help prevent the spread of germs as you would in other facilities.
