Trim Trail Surfacing is the ground underneath the playgound equipment that acts a safety feature to soften the fall if children are to tumble off.
The flooring is made of either EPDM wetpour, rubber mulch or artificial grass which is all softer than tarmac and so if they do trip or fall, less injuries will occur.
This form of flooring is very popular in areas where people are more likely to fall such as parks and schools.
Soft sufacing is compulsary in these locations due to the Critical Fall Height which involves having a deeper surface if the trim trail equipment is taller, as this reduces the injuries to the kids.

Trim trails are outdoor exercise facilities consisting of a series of fitness stations or obstacles designed to promote physical activity and improve fitness. The type of surfacing used in trim trails is crucial for safety, accessibility, and durability. Here are several common types of trim trail surfacing materials:
When choosing a trim trail surfacing material, factors such as budget, maintenance requirements, safety standards, and the specific needs of the users should be considered to ensure a suitable and long-lasting solution.
Some of the most popular types of trim trail surfacing include rubber mulch safety surfacing, EPDM wetpour safety surfacing and artificial grass carpet.
The rubber mulch specification creates a natural appearance which goes well with timber playground equipment and obstacle courses.
This flooring type is a type of safety surfacing that provides impact absorption so it will prevent injuries if a child falls when they’re playing on the activity course.
Wetpour rubber safety surfacing is a very popular choice for playgrounds and it can be installed in a variety of bright colours.
It is also a safe flooring option as it contains a shockpad underneath the coloured EPDM to reduce the risk of injuries.
Each of these flooring specifications can be used to create trim trail surfacing in school playgrounds, public parks and recreational areas.
Plenty of options are available if you want to create a bespoke facility with interactive graphics and colourful shapes.
