Made from 16mm rubber grass matting, they are suitable for swing areas, climbing frames, slide exits, garden play zones, school grounds, nurseries, parks, and shared outdoor spaces where repeated movement can quickly damage the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAreas under swings often become muddy, uneven, or bare because children land, step, and push off from the same spot again and again.
