What is WOODCARPET®? WOODCARPET® is a 100% natural product and contains no chemicals or artificial ingredients. No waste wood or pallets are used as they could contain spilled chemicals, paint, metal, or wood preservatives. We utilize fresh wood that cannot be made into lumber.
Engineered wood fiber is an economical playground surfacing used on nearly 3/4 of all playgrounds in the U.S. because of its high impact absorbing qualities, yet firm, slip resistant surface that, if properly installed, allows for wheelchairs and strollers to traverse across it. Less expensive products such as sand and pea gravel just aren't accessible.
Woodcarpet® by Zeager is certified by IPEMA per F1292 and F2075 standard test methods. In fact, Zeager has their own test equipment to perform testing on their surface in-the-field. That means we can test our products in all sorts of conditions (hot or cold) to make sure they perform properly.It's not required, but we want to make sure we consistently provide a top notch product at a competitive price.Engineered wood fiber is the most economic option that meets all the qualities and standards you need in a playground surfacing.

About three quarters of all playground accidents are a result of falls. Protect your children and yourself with a surface that is third party certified, and meets the ADA, ASTM, CPSC and CSA standards for playground surfacing. A comprehensive warranty, adequate liability insurance, and a quality assurance program are also important. WOODCARPET® products offer all of this and more.

It’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to design accessibility into and around key recreational features. And since the top layer is fully bonded, children are not removing material during normal play – nor bringing wood fibers inside after play.

Its real-grass appearance can be substituted anywhere that real grass would be desirable – but the hassles of real grass make it impractical. It comes in two different pile heights: 3?4” which is tightly-woven to provide maximum flexibility & durability and 1.25" which features special root zone technology and soft nylon fibers that give this option a soft feel and natural look.
