The material selection for children's playground equipment in the community should take into account safety, durability and comfort. Wood is a classic choice. For instance, treated pine wood has a warm touch and strong affinity, which can reduce the harm to children when they bump into it. However, it needs regular maintenance to prevent cracking and deformation.
Food-grade LLDPE plastic has been widely used in recent years. It has strong UV resistance, is not prone to fading or aging, and has a smooth surface without burrs. It can be made into various shapes such as slides and climbing frames, and is also very easy to clean.
Among metal materials, galvanized steel pipes, with their high strength and anti-rust properties, are often used as support structures for equipment. When combined with rubber-wrapped connection points, they can prevent the risk of collision caused by direct metal contact.
In addition, the EPDM rubber particles laid on the ground not only have good elasticity and can buffer the impact force of children's falls, but also can be spliced into colorful patterns according to the design, adding a touch of childlike fun to the playground.
