    That soft matting would probably cost a fortune....I'd let them plough away in the grass..will do them no harm.

    I'd love to get my hands on a swingboat...remember those things that used to be in the carnivals that came to your town during the summer when you were younger? Not for the kids now but for me and the missus......

    Hi,
    I've spent a lot of time looking at these playtiles and found that there is a supplier in Wexford/Waterford who does them cheap enough.
    But it depends on what critical fall high you want to go with.
    Say if your Kid fall off the top of a slide from about 1.5 metres then you need a certian thickness of tile to make sure they don't get head injuries etc.
    The chepest place I found for a 43mm thick tile was in Germany here you could get them for around 40Euro each and deliver was going to cost me 250Euro for 40msq. Therefore total cost for 40msq was about 1800Euro.
