| Just one inch of rainfall
per hour drenches a typical 2,500 square-foot
playground surface with 1,500 gallons
of water. Which means one bad rainstorm
can seriously damage a sub-standard
playground surface with no drainage system.
That could mean expensive repairs.
The plain fact is, every playground
must have a drainage system, and the
standard, cost-effective choice is FibarSystem
300:
- It comes
with FibarFelt® filter,
a layer of geotextile fabric to separate
the wood fiber from the soil below
and keep out dirt, stones and weeds.
- It comes
with FibarDrain® strips,
which collect water from the FibarFelt
and channel it safely away, so the
wood fiber dries quickly–and
kids get more hours on the playground.
- It comes with a Buyer
Protection Plan, which includes a 25-year Warranty.
