LARS LAJ® | Project Beach - Playground on the sand

On the beach, in the park or in the garden - Sand is a common surface for installing playground equipment. No wonder - it is a popular and economical solution.

However, let's remember a few conditions that must be met for sand to serve as a safe surface. So, what is the ideal sand?

The size of sand grains should be in the range of 0.2 to 2 mm
The sand should not contain clay and dust particles.
When preparing the surface, it is important to remember that the depth of the sand depends on the critical fall height (you can find this dimension for the appropriate products on the website). The minimum thickness of such a safety surface is at least 20-30 cm for units with a critical fall height of 2-3 meters.

Installation of play equipment on the sand

Unfortunately, not all playground equipment installed on a sand surface can be comfortably used by children, so it is not recommended to install, for instance, the inclusive playgrounds with a ramp for wheelchair users on the sand. In such cases, it is best to use two different types of surfaces (e.g., sand and wetpour or rubber tiles).

Natural playground

Sand is an ideal surface for designing a natural playground with wooden equipment. When creating a playground on the sand, the play equipment that will fit perfectly into the holiday and beachy atmosphere are:
