Whether you’re a parent, childminder or education provider, when you’re looking after kids you want to make sure your home or nursery is suitable for kids to use all year round. Lots of children love to play outside but it isn’t always easy maintaining an outdoor area for them to use. Fake grass is a great way of making an area presentable, usable and green for kids to play on as much as they like, all year round.
Even & Durable
Ground that becomes dry in the summer and too wet in the winter can be a problem when you’re trying to encourage kids to spend time outdoors. And even if the kids are active, you don’t want to get to a point where the ground becomes unusable because it is too muddy or too hard. Artificial grass can provide even coverage all the way through the year; there’s no chance of the grass dying or wearing thin because the grass is made of a soft but durable plastic.
Great for Activities
This durability makes it perfect for a variety of activities. Football is the most common sport for those who convert to fake grass, as it provides a neat, flat surface for running and playing sports. But it can be used for all sorts of activities just like natural grass. If you like a paddling pool for the summer than the draining base installed beneath the grass can ably allow water through. Fake grass is also super easy to clean, so if you’re doing crafts with water soluble paints then any messes can be cleaned away with warm, soapy water.
Safe to play on
Shock pad is a good option if you have outdoor play equipment which involves children climbing a metre off the ground. It has a bouncy but firm feel underfoot and can be installed underneath the layer of grass. It meets what is called a ‘critical fall height’ which is the greatest height of head first fall, from which a child, landing on a surface could be expected to avoid sustaining a critical head injury. Shock pad can be installed to limit the potential of an injury caused by falling, which is good for both the kids and your peace of mind.
Encourages creativity
Artificial grass can also be installed in a variety of shapes and colours if you want to make your play area a bit more individual. Including areas of colour can make it a bit more of an interactive zone, where imaginations can run wild and learning can take place.
If you’re looking to make a play area that your kids can use all year round then artificial grass might be the option for you. It’s soft, durable and looks good, providing a surface that is suitable for all sorts of activities. It takes very little effort to maintain with a brush every now and again to keep it looking fresh.
