SMP Playgrounds Ltd. recommends an effective Impact Absorbing Surface tested to EN11 77 & BS7188 beneath
this range of play equipment. Refer to manufacturers instructions for details of installation. The surface should have
a Critical Fall Height greater than the Maximum Freefall Height of the equipment. Subject to a risk assessment & for
certain Fall Heights a grass surface may be used.
Constructional Space (shown in the above table) is the approximate working area required to layout and assemble
the equipment.
For the safe operation of this equipment it must be installed on horizontal ground with the required minimum space.
If a loose fill surface is selected for this item it will require a very high level of maintenance to ensure a sufficient
thickness is in place at all times to provide ‘critical fall height’ protection.
The concrete foundations indicated are for average ground. Care should be taken concerning abnormal conditions.
2PREPARATION
All equipment assembly and fixings must conform to EN1176.
Before commencing the installation the surrounding area must be sufficiently fenced and signs erected to warn the
public of the risk of injury.
i)See Specifications for equipments ‘Minimum space’.
ii)Measure out the site to ensure the space required fits into the allotted area, it is horizontal and free from
trip points or other obstructions.
iii)Ensure the equipment is to be provided with an effective Impact Absorbing Surface which has a tested
critical fall height rating greater than the maximum freefall height of the equipment.
2.2MARK OUT HOLES
Consult SMP layout drawing for structure position on site.
See FIG.3, 4 & 5 for concrete foundation spacings.
NOTE: This is a minimum guide only. Hole excavation should be done progressively as the steelwork is erected.
2.3ESTABLISH DATUM LEVEL
i)If a rubber tiled Impact Absorbing surface is to be laid, see separate instructions (base may incorporate
up to 2% falls etc.).
ii)If equipment is to sit in loose fill or wet pour rubber surfaces allowances will need to be made for its
recommended thickness. With certain loose fill materials, a greater thickness than 300mm may be
required. This will need to be determined by allowing 100mm for dispersal in addition to the thickness
required for the freefall height of the unit. For installation with a loose-fill type surface all legs on the
structure have be marked with a 'Basic Level Mark' to indicate the recommended 'Finished Surface Level'
of the surface.
