FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Discount Playground Supply Announces Fast Patch Color Addition

Cleveland, Ohio –August 14, 2013 - Discount Playground Supply Inc announced today it is expanding the Fast Patch product line to include a blue and green color combination.  Fast Patch Poured-in-Place Surfacing Repair Kits are rapidly becoming the “go to” repair product for many schools, parks, municipalities and child care facilities because it saves them money. No longer do they need to hire an outside contractor.

The blend of Caribbean Blue and Forrest Green rubber is truly great color combination. “It reminds me of the some colors in the ocean.” states Debbie Siebert President of Discount Playground Supply.

 Poured in place playground surfacing and many running tracks are a seamless rubber surface consisting of a special type of crumb rubber and moisture cured urethane binder. These types of surfaces are known for their low maintenance, accessibility and longevity, but unfortunately they get damaged, shrink and are expensive to repair when an outside contractor is called.

"There is no sense spending thousands of dollars repairing damaged areas when Fast Patch is so easy to use" explains Mrs. Siebert, “Our customers love these repair kits because of the convenience, simplicity and they just work so well”

Discount Playground Supply is quickly becoming an industry leader in supplying playground parts and accessories to municipalities, parks, schools, and child care facilities. Many items can be purchased online or customers can speak to a Playground Specialist by calling the toll free number 888.760.2499

The Value of Swing Mats

Free Swing Mats??

Just got another order from an existing customer purchasing more swing mats for their playgrounds. She made a comment that since they have been using swing mats, their daily labor cost for maintenance has greatly reduced. Many sites with wood safety surfacing should be raked out daily in order to keep them compliant with the ADA Guidelines. The swing mats have almost eliminated "kick out" which reduced time spent on  maintenance she explained...Cool . As I thought about this, I realized there certainly will come a point where the reduction in labor costs will actually pay for the swing mats. Hummmm does that mean free swing mats??? Well maybe.. Check out our swing mat selection at Discount Playground Supply  and don't forget to look at our nearly world famous Fast Patch playground repair kits..

Repairing Sidewalk Gaps

Had a great response from one of our customers that I wanted to post about their experience with Fast Patch. For those who are not familiar with this product, Fast Patch is a kit for repairing damages areas on running tracks and rubber playground surfaces. Each kit contains the right amount of crumb rubber and binder needed to repair a 6 sq ft section of the wear layer on these types of surfaces. This particular customer's poured in place safety surfacing on the playground was pulling away from the sidewalk, leaving a sizable gap. They were concerned this people would trip or a small child could wedge their foot in the gap and either break, or sprain it. The gap was a liability and calling a contractor to repair it would be expensive.

This customer purchase a couple of Fast Patch repair kits from Discount Playground Supply  and let their maintenance crew attempt to fix the gap. Following the instructions, the crew cut back the damaged areas, prepped the area, mixed and applied the Fast Patch and were impressed. This is how it turned out

Needles to say it turned out great, they loved the product and they saved a lot of money by doing this repair in house.

Initial Post

Well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Never thought I would have a blog and actually be excited about it, but here it is. My goal is to blog about playgrounds, parts and supplies, what works and what doesn't, and how to save money  running a playground. Sounds like a tall order, but I have been affiliated with this industry for about 20 years. Not saying I have seen it all, but have been around the block a few times and maybe, just maybe my experiences can be of value.
