Engineered Playground Surfacing Built for Heavy Rainfall Conditions
Fibar System 200 Engineered Wood Fiber Playground Surfacing is a high-performance loose-fill system specifically designed for climates with heavy rainfall and demanding drainage conditions. This advanced system combines engineered wood fiber with a dual-layer geotextile fabric and integrated drainage components to create a stable, long-lasting, and safety-focused playground surface.
Ideal for schools, parks, and daycare centers, System 200 is engineered to maintain consistent performance even in wet environments. The layered system design improves water movement and prevents material breakdown, helping preserve proper surfacing depth and impact attenuation over time.
Engineered for Heavy Rainfall Environments
Fibar System 200 is specifically designed for areas that experience frequent or heavy precipitation. The system includes engineered wood fiber, two layers of FibarFelt geotextile fabric, and incorporates owner-supplied drainage stone and PVC piping for a french drain system. This multi-layered construction helps move water efficiently away from the play surface while maintaining structural integrity.
Consistent Safety and ADA Accessibility
This system is designed to meet or exceed critical playground safety standards, including ASTM F1292 impact attenuation requirements when installed correctly. The compacted wood fiber structure provides a firm, stable surface that supports wheelchair accessibility while maintaining a cushioned layer for fall protection.
System-Based Performance That Lasts
Unlike basic loose-fill options, System 200 uses a complete surfacing system approach to reduce migration, improve drainage, and extend surface life. The dual-layer fabric design helps separate sub-base materials while improving long-term durability and consistency across high-traffic play areas.
Installation & Delivery Overview
This material is delivered in bulk and unloaded directly at the job site. A properly prepared sub-base and drainage system are required for optimal performance. Installation is not included. Play areas are typically installed at 12” to 15” depths in fall zones, with borders recommended to contain the surfacing material and maintain compliance.
Routine maintenance includes periodic raking to redistribute material and maintain proper depth in high-use zones such as swings and slide exits. Wear mats are required in these areas to preserve system performance and warranty compliance.
20-Year Commercial Warranty Protection
Fibar System 200 is backed by a 20-year performance limited warranty, providing long-term confidence in safety and durability. The system is warranted to meet or exceed U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission playground surfacing guidelines using ASTM F1292 standards when properly installed and maintained.
Geotextile materials such as FibarFelt and drainage components are covered by a lifetime material warranty against defects, while accessories like wear mats and borders carry a separate limited warranty. Proper installation, maintaining surface depth, and using wear mats in high-impact areas are required to maintain warranty validity.
Trusted Surfacing Solution for Commercial Playgrounds
Designed for municipalities, schools, and commercial playground projects across the United States, Fibar System 200 delivers a balance of safety, accessibility, and long-term value. Its engineered system design makes it a preferred solution for projects where drainage performance and durability are critical.
