Planning Checklist

Why choose EPDM?

• 100% Accessible
• Customize your play area with patterns, designs, and/or logos
• Post-consumer recycled materials
• Fun, brightly colored, bouncy, and safe surfacing that all users enjoy 

Selecting Colors

• 50% black mixed with 50% color is less expensive; it hides dirt and fading.
• Pinks and Reds should only be used indoors due to color fading. 
• Solid colors and 100% color mixtures are available. 

Site Prep

• Measure the site to confirm estimated square footage.
• Slope of the grade should be 2%.
• Address any drainage issues. 
• ½” EPDM Cap can be installed on concrete or asphalt.

Installation 

• Temperature needs to be above 45° F.
• Surfacing cannot be installed when there is rain, dew, or standing water.
• Plan for all users to stay away from the area.
• Designate an area for staging and material storage.
• Once installed, no one should walk on the surfacing for 48-72 hours.
• There will be a slight ambering affect from the binder which will fade in a couple of months. 

Maintenance

• Check regularly for wear and drainage concerns. 
• Reseal with Roll Coat every 6 – 12 months based on traffic.
• Life expectancy is 8-12 years depending on use.
