Selection and preparation of the place
The design of the playground involves three stages:
- The first provides for the selection of a suitable place and perform certain actions aimed at creating safe conditions.
- At the second stage, placing on the site of all game elements.
- The final stage is the most pleasant and creative - this is a design.
Placing a playground is desirable to foresee in the dacha design stage. But if in the process of creating a project, this stage was missed, the following points should be taken into account for the right choice:
- the playground should be in sight from any point of the site, as a permanent supervision is necessary for young children;
- near the reservoirs and places where the child may be injured;
- if possible, the site can be placed near large trees so that the shadow of the foliage protect the game space from sunlight. If there are no suitable trees on the plot, then you can create a shadow above the site with a canopy or tensioning agent;
- do not choose a low-end site or a plot on the elevation to arrange the site. In the first case, dampness will create a danger to the health of children, and in the second - the obstacle will be a strong wind;
- the selected plot needs to be made as safe as possible to stay on it. It is necessary to outline the places where the slides will be located, swing and other elements and cover the sand and turf there. If there are potholes and pits at this place, you need to pre-get rid of them. Problem areas should be filled and tamper. Next, it is necessary to wait until the soil shrink will occur, and lay a layer of turf.
It is also worth considering that for tracks it is recommended to use a paving slave. It is quite durable and non-slip material, which is very important for playgrounds. If desired, water communication and electricity can be paved on the game territory. Of course, they must be hidden and inaccessible to children. For example, a variant of laying communications on the tree trunk is possible at a sufficiently safe distance.
