The Best Ways to Build a Border for a Playground

Playground borders are one of the easiest ways to ensure a safe playing area for kids. An effective playground border clearly distinguishes a play-area from surrounding areas, evoking more caution and awareness from those around. There are many ways to build playground borders, but the most effective is to use pre-made border kits

Measurements

{ if (sources.length) { this.parentNode.removeChild(sources[0]); } else { this.onerror = null; this.src = fallback; } })( [...this.parentNode.querySelectorAll('source')], arguments[0].target.currentSrc.replace(/\/$/, ''), '/public/images/logo-fallback.png' )" loading="lazy">
Safe playground.

Measure the area of ground you plan to border. Playground borders are usually at least a foot tall, so ensure your border will not intersect with any playground equipment. Work your measurements around the specific kit you plan to use. A list of different kits can be found at the Frame It All website.

Layout

Mark the perimeter of your playground area by driving stakes in at the corners and attaching string to each steak. This gives you a clear vision for where your borders will go and ensures your anchor points line up.
