      Installation and Maintenance of Loose-fill Surfacing - Six Inches if Equipment 5 Ft or Less

      All slides that are five feet or smaller must have a minimum of six inches of loose-fill in the use zones. The use zones for these slides must extend six feet out from the exit, six feet from the access point where children climb up, and six feet to each side. Having loose-fill in these areas will help prevent injuries, as it provides a shock-aborbing surface in case of a fall.
