US Playground Surfacing’s “LMADRS Accessibility Matting” Installation Instructions
Installers should ensure there is 6, 9, or 12 inches of IPEMA Certified Playground Safety Surfacing on the entire area before starting. If not, add IPEMA Certified Playground Safety Surfacing as necessary before any matting assembly starts.
• 6 inches of Engineered Wood Fiber combined LMADRS Matting gives a 10 ft CFH
• 9 inches of Engineered Wood Fiber combined LMADRS Matting gives a 16 ft CFH
• 12 inches of Engineered Wood Fiber combined LMADRS Matting gives a 20 ft CFH
Level and compact the IPEMA Certified Playground Safety Surfacing to a flat surface.
The surface flatness is critical to the finished job.
Assemble all the LMADRS mats into a single accessible playground safety surface, giving an accessible, safe, low maintenance playground safety surface.
Assemble with ArmPow 8 Inch Black Zip Ties 75 lbs. Tensile Strength, Self Locking Nylon PA66 Heavy Duty Cable Ties – For Outdoors, Amazon Sells.
They should be installed along each adjoining mating surface/seam. Use at least one tie for every 4-5 holes and connect the corners.
Ties should then be tightened and cut or tucked under. Amazon sells cable tie tools to tension and cut the ties.
It is important to cut the ties so the ends are below the top surface of the assembly.
On the final outside edge of the assembled matting, the Engineered Wood Fiber should be dug out to allow the outside edge of the assembly to flush with the other Surfacing.
Appearance-wise, some feel that cutting the square corners of the final assembled matting to an angle can add to the appearance of the finished assembly.
