All posts and pipe are prepared with enough length to accommodate 12" deep impact
attenuating ground cover. Component Playgrounds recommends that 12" of impact
attenuating surfacing be placed under and around the playground and any adjacent
structures.
Playground equipment should not be installed over hard surfaces
such
as concrete, asphalt or grass.
If the specifications on your project call for less ground cover, you may simply cut the
pipe to the desired length or you may dig the holes deeper. Please refer to the ASTM
Designation: F 1487 - 05 Standard Safety Performance Specification for Playground
Equipment for Public Use, or you may also refer to the CPSC guidelines for public and
commercial playgrounds for more information regarding surfacing requirements.
