Measuring For Your RuffHouse Playset

Backyard playground equipment is a great way to encourage outdoor play and physical activity for children. However, before you purchase any equipment, it is important to make sure that it will properly fit in your backyard and that it’s safe for your children to use. 

Determine the space available in your yard

The first step in measuring for backyard playground equipment is to determine the amount of space you have available. Measure the length and width of the area where you plan to install the equipment. This can be done using a tape measure. It is important to leave a buffer zone of at least six feet around the equipment to ensure that children have enough space to play safely.

Check the ground surface

Before installing any equipment, it is important to check the ground surface for any hazards. Make sure the ground is level and free of rocks, roots, and other obstacles. The ground should also be soft enough to cushion falls. If your yard doesn’t have a natural soft surface, you can install rubber mulch or wood chips to help prevent any injuries.

Consider the age of your children

When choosing playground equipment, it is important to consider the age of your children. Equipment that is too advanced or too simple can be dangerous or uninteresting to them. Be sure to choose equipment that is age-appropriate and fits the skill level of your children. We offer a variety of playsets that are sure to meet your family’s needs!
