Two Ways to Play It Safe

The Amish built playsets from Hometown are built to the highest standards of safety.  Vinyl covering, no exposed wood, stainless steel blots, and ground anchors are among the features that keep your kid safe as they play on the set. Because we want your child to be safe on the ground, as well, we also offer two types of ground coverings to cushion the inevitable falls.

PlaySafer Tiles. Our newest offering is a shock absorbing rubber tile, made to interlock and cover the ground almost like a carpet. The beautifully finished tiles are colored all the way through, and come with edge pieces to give easy access for wheelchairs and strollers. Unlike wooden mulch, they don’t retain moisture, they don’t disintegrate, and they don’t attract bugs. Installation is a breeze! Plus, the rubber surface gives your kids an extra spring to their step.

Rubber Mulch. Our rubber mulch provides a softer landing for jumping, rolling, springing, and occasionally falling off your playset. It’s fast drying, meaning that you don’t have to wait all day for the sun to come out after spring showers or summer thunderstorms. It’s long lasting, too – just like your playset!

Playsets come with lots of ways to play it fun: towers and turrets, slides and swings, tables and walls. Play it safe, too, with rubber mulch or PlaySafer tiles. Call us today to design all the ways that your kids can play today – and for years and years to come.
