Green WS Play® grass protection mats and their application
The green grass protection mat is a rubber anti-slip mat made of recycled materials. The structure of the mat makes it easier for the grass to grow through, thanks to which the rubber surface becomes invisible a short time after its installation..
Green grass protection mats are perfect for the playground, ensuring safe play. Rubber grass protection mats can also be laid as a floor in an outdoor gym - here, too, their properties will ensure safety during exercise. Importantly, overgrowing the grass does not affect its safe properties.
Green mats for playgrounds: properties and impact on children's safety
Green grass protection mats for WS Play playgrounds comply with safety standards in terms of critical fall height: reaching a result exceeding 3 meters with the grass, soil base used (standard PN EN 1177+A1:2024-05 - formerly: 1177+AC:2019-04).
The shock-absorbing properties of grass protection mats enable safe movement of children while playing on the playground and users of an outdoor gym while exercising..
Both parameters contribute to greater safety in the event of a trip and protect against the negative consequences of falling from a height.
Green grass protection mats - a safe surface for the playground
Children's safety while playing is one of the most important criteria for organizing a children's play area. Especially since children are quite demanding customers. Madness during play, i.e. running, jumping or climbing, can very often end in crying, falling or even injury.
Therefore, an appropriate surface in the form of a surface made of shock-absorbing mats on the playground is the solution it will positively affect the safe use of space intended for children.
To ensure protection against the effects of falls, mats should be placed primarily close to climbing equipment, swings and other equipment. Both the anti-slip properties of the mats and the shock-absorbing properties of falls (even from a height of 3 m) work here, which significantly reduces the risk of head injury resulting from a fall from a height.
The openwork structure of green grass protection mats allows the grass to grow through freely, which affects the aesthetics of their use. In a short time you can obtain a grass carpet that makes the mats no longer visible to the surroundings. However, the grass growth itself does not affect the properties of the mats, so aesthetics go hand in hand with safety.

Easy installation is a definite advantage of WS Play® grass protection mats
The lack of specialized tools required to lay a safe surface with grass protection mats makes it a universal and easy-to-use solution.
Essential elements needed for paving include:
gloves for carrying and laying mats,
a knife or scissors to cut them to the required shape,
rubber hammer for hammering in pegs.
Of course, the mats can be cut to the desired shape to match the existing one playground. Laying grass protection mats is possible both on flat surfaces and slopes. The start of work should be preceded by cleaning the surface on which the grass protection mats are to be placed and cutting the grass or sowing new grass.
If it is necessary to lay mats on soft, sandy or muddy terrain, we recommend using a leveling mesh. However, if the surface is uneven, with visible depressions, then the area should be leveled by filling the gaps with soil.

Compact dimensions and the possibility of cutting to the desired shape make it possible to use shock-absorbing mats on a newly built playground or outdoor gym, but they will also work perfectly on an already developed area.
