TigerTurf Vista 35 XWR landscape lawn

TigerTurf Vista 35 XWR is made from the incredibly durable TenCate Grass XWR yarn, and features a dense, green thatch for extended durability in situations that are subject to frequent vigorous use. An attractive summer green lawn, TigerTurf Vista closely resembles natural grass, with the benefit of remaining soft, clean and comfortable all year round with very little maintenance. No longer are woodchips and dirt carried indoors nor do children have dirty, uncomfortable wet patches on clothes. The staff and parents are nearly as delighted with the new playground as the children are, though the children are noisier and friskier in their happy appreciation of the soft green lawn.

TigerTurf 35mm PowerPlay shock pads beneath TigerTurf playgrounds for safe play

The technical design of the durable, consistent 35mm PowerPlay shock pad beneath the TigerTurf Vista 35 lawn provides the children with safer playing conditions in every part of their TigerTurf playground surface. The PowerPlay shock pad will not move around beneath the TigerTurf Vista 35 lawn, but forms a long-term, consistent level of 35mm safety for the Childcare Centre. Now, the children can enjoy the challenge of climbing up to 1.9 m high and the staff can relax while watching their busy young charges. Previously, the playground surface was a layer of woodchip, which was not sufficiently safe to protect children from falls off climbing platforms. The woodchip needed constant tidying, becoming messy in winter months and, when wet, unpleasant for young children to play in. Woodchip needs to be topped up and spread frequently to maintain safe levels of protection throughout the playground, creating extra work for staff. The level of woodchip shifts during play, causing a concerning risk of injury to the children.
