Playground Borders

Action Play Systems offers the highest quality playground border in the industry.

Does your current playground border tell you when you need more surfacing and how much? Ours does!

US Patent # 716,113 and D732,357

APS playground borders are 52″ long, 4″ wide, and available in either 8″ or 12″ heights. When installed, each border covers 4 lineal feet. Both our 8″ and 12″ high playground borders feature our patented Surfacing Guide (US Patent #716,113 and D732,357) and snap-in-spike.

The surfacing guide serves as a ruler on your playground to ensure adequate levels of safety surfacing are maintained. With a quick glance, you can easily see how much surfacing is currently on your playground. The snap-in-spike allows for each border/spike to ship as one unit and reduces the chance of lost spikes in shipment and missing items upon delivery. Additionally, it makes for faster installation by keeping each border/spike together as one unit.
