Above that, you need impact-absorbing surfacing tested to BS EN 1177, with a critical fall height at least equal to the equipment's free height of fall. The surfacing also has to cover the whole impact area, which usually reaches at least 1.5m around the equipment, and further for swings and higher platforms. This 22mm mat is tested to a critical fall height of up to 3.3m.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTell us what you're installing and its free height of fall on \u003ca href=\"tel:01282270214\"\u003e01282 270214\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll confirm whether this mat is right and how many you need.
