When it comes to putting the borders up around your playground, timbers and rubber curbs are the easiest way to clearly define the line. Not only will they easily convey the borders of the playground, but they will also help keep the loose fill safety surfacing inside the boundaries of the playground.
Calculating the amount of timbers or curbs can be difficult depending on the shape of your space. Allow us to do the work for you! This Playground Border Calculator will ease the process. Simply enter the linear feet of your playground perimeter and the type of timbers desired into the calculator and the results will tell you the total number of timbers needed!

How do I measure my playground perimeter?
It is important to take accurate measurements of your playground to guarantee that you receive enough border material. For a standard rectangular play space, just measure the length and width, add those numbers together and multiply by 2. If the area is an unusual shape, your best bet is to measure each side and add them together.
