Our sturdy plastic playground borders are the best way to retain playground surfacing in place. Just line them up where you want them to go, secure them with a vertical spike (included), and voila, your new border system is in place. The border timbers provide a retaining barrier for loose-fill resilient surfacing and add a finished edge to the play area. They’re easy to install, even in your backyard. To make the border systems ADA-compliant, just add an ADA entrance ramp and engineered wood fiber surfacing. They also make great sandboxes, dirt boxes, landscape borders and flower boxes.

The plastic timbers come in two lengths: four (4) foot and six (6) foot, which include one and two spikes, respectively. The 4-foot models come with a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty! Heights available include 12 inches and 9 inches.
Plastic timbers are splinter free, unlike wood, and they require no expertise or special tools to do a professional looking job. They’re also easy to move and re-install. Also, plastic timbers contain playground surfacing (like woodchips) in a defined area. Finally, they create a visually pleasing border to any area.
The colors available depend on the length of the border that you need. For the 4-foot long borders in heights of 12 inches or 9 inches, black or green are readily available. Other colors are available, by special order.
For 6-inch tall borders, only brown is available.
The ends overlap, and the timbers are fastened with 30-inch galvanized spikes. Line the timbers up, drive the spike into the ground using a mallet or sledgehammer, and that’s it!
Lengths available: 4 feet and 6 feet. Width: all borders are 4 inches wide. Heights available:
• 12 inches (for 4-foot or 6-foot timbers)
• 9 inches (4-foot length only)
Our plastic timbers are made from hollow polyethylene, with molded-in ribs for strength. That makes them incredibly durable.
