Children's Safety

Play Area Edging

When creating a children's play area, sandpit or garden activity zone, safety is the number one priority. You need a border to keep play bark or sand neatly contained, but traditional edging materials like timber, concrete or metal can be hard, sharp and present a real hazard if a child trips and falls.

FlexiBorder is made from impact-absorbing recycled rubber. It provides a soft, forgiving boundary that defines the space perfectly while keeping children safe.

Safe, Soft Rubber Edging for Play Areas

Whether you are building a play space in a family garden, edging a school playground, or defining a children’s corner in a pub or restaurant garden, the edging you choose matters.

FlexiBorder is manufactured entirely from recycled rubber garden edging. This gives it a softer, more resilient finish than rigid alternatives. The edges are completely rounded with no sharp corners, and because it is made of rubber, it will never splinter like wooden log rolls or timber sleepers.

Keep Play Bark and Sand Contained

Loose surfaces like play bark, rubber chippings and sand are great for cushioning falls, but they easily spread across lawns and patios if they are not contained.

FlexiBorder acts as a sturdy retaining wall. It is heavy-duty enough to hold back deep layers of play bark or sand, keeping the play area tidy and reducing the time you spend sweeping up. It also works well as a secure border if you are laying artificial grass under a play set.
