A Firm Foundation For Play

Spring is definitely in the air and that means it’s time to get outdoors! The Amish built playsets at Hometown Sheds are durable, customizable, and fun but a firm foundation is just as important as the playset itself. We provide two safe options that will last your family for many seasons to come – rubber mulch or Playsafer tiles.

Spreading Out Fun. If you’ve ever used traditional mulch in your yard, flowerbeds, or around your playset then you know it can be a breeding ground for insects and moisture – not to mention those dreaded splinters. Over time, wood will deteriorate and needs to be replaced every year. Rubber mulch is not only more attractive but will last you as long as your playset does. Rubber dries quickly after rain, because who wants to wait around after those daily summer storms? It will not decompose over time and absorbs the shock of a fall, unlike traditional mulch. Oh, and did we mention it looks great too? Our rubber mulch is available in five different colors. Curb borders are available as well to ensure the mulch stays exactly where you want it – around your playset.

 Play Safer with Playsafer Tiles. The name says it all, Playsafer Tiles help to keep your kids safe from dangerous falls. They’re durable, too. These tiles are a simple option for any playground flooring and provide a slip resistant safety performance up to four feet.  An interlocking system makes installation quick and easy. The tiles are created from a shock absorbing rubber formula, require no maintenance, are hassle free and water-permeable. You won’t have to wait long after the rain to be able to open back up the playground area. Just like the rubber mulch, these tiles come in a variety of colors to match your area.

If your home or business has a playset, or if you’re planning to create a new set with your Hometown Sheds designer, make sure you have a solid base with either rubber mulch or Playsafer Tiles. Invest now in a firm foundation and thank yourself for many years to come. Call us or stop in today to get started.
