Our 9 inch plastic borders are a great solution for retaining protective playground surfacing in any location. They’re 4 feet long, 9 inches tall, and 4 inches thick. They’re made from sturdy roto-molded plastic, meaning that they’re hollow inside, but they have ribbing inside for additional strength. Each plastic border comes with a steel stake. These borders are easy to install, requiring only a sledgehammer or even a heavy mallet. In terms of their height, please note that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the ASTM International Standards both call for 9 inches of playground surfacing. Purchasing a 9-inch border may not necessarily provide sufficient height to do this. If you have any doubts, please take a look at our 12-inch plastic borders.

Benefits of Plastic Borders

Plastic borders are a great way to create visually distinctive borders for landscaping, playground materials, and other types of surfacing. Our plastic borders have no splinters or preservative chemicals, unlike wooden borders. They’re easy to install — you don’t need any expertise or special tools to put them in. Our black plastic borders are manufactured from 100% recycled plastic.
