Wood Fiber in Place at Teddy's Playground, Rumson, NJ |
Advantages
- Lowest initial cost
- Considered handicap accessible once compacted
- Subbase preparation required, but not critical
- Easy installation, can be done by volunteers
Disadvantages
- Decomposes over time and must be “topped off” or replaced periodically to maintain required depth of surfacing
- Considered loose fill; must be raked back into position at high wear areas
- It’s made of wood, so it floats if there is improper drainage
- Absorbs moisture and freezes in cold weather climates
Critical Fall Height
- 8 inch thick compacted layer rated for an 8 foot fall height
- 12 inch thick compacted layer rated for a 12 foot fall height, both with 3 inch gravel drainage layer below
