Outdoor Children’s Play Area Surfacing and Case Studies

　　Beijing Funmaxland Sports’ Instruction Manual for Safe Matting Installation in Outdoor Playgrounds

　　First, clear the site.

　　Dust Removal and Cleaning: Before formal installation, thoroughly clean the floor, paying particular attention to checking for stains caused by water leaks from construction work or oil seepage from road rollers. The concrete surface should be allowed to dry completely, ensuring it is smooth and free of unevenness.

　　Second, the installation of safety mats.

　　1. Arrange an appropriate number of personnel to lay the flooring based on the size of the venue.

　　2. Upon entering the site, in accordance with the drawing specifications and taking into account the site conditions, implement methods that ensure accuracy while minimizing material and labor consumption.

　　3. Assign one person to apply the specialized adhesive horizontally from left to right, and another person to lay the safety mats one at a time. For both horizontal and vertical rows, overlap each new mat by 0.5–1 cm (depending on the mat’s thickness) with the third mat, advancing forward and to the left with every fourth mat, ensuring that the mats are tightly pressed together during installation and no gaps remain in between.

　　4. When applying adhesive, apply it to the four corners and the center, covering an area with a diameter of approximately 10 cm.

　　5. When pressing, use a rubber mallet to avoid damaging the floor mat and ensure its integrity. The mats must be aligned edge-to-edge in a straight line, with corners meeting at right angles, and the entire perimeter should be perfectly smooth—no scratches or marks are permitted.

　　6. During installation, when using Funmaxland’s fitness equipment tubing or for children’s play areas, first mark and then cut the safety mats, leaving gaps to install the fitness equipment or playground equipment. The cutting method is as follows: cut at an incline, making shallower cuts on the surface and deeper cuts at the base;

　　7. Upon completion of all paving, clean the site and await acceptance inspection.
