Faux Stone Border Timbers

Straight Section

$229.09

Faux Stone Border Timbers from SportsPlay provide an attractive and functional way to define commercial playground areas and help keep loose-fill safety surfacing where it belongs. Designed with the natural appearance of stone, these playground borders offer a more decorative alternative to traditional plastic or lumber-style borders while maintaining the durability needed for outdoor recreation environments.

Playground borders play an important role when using loose-fill surfacing such as engineered wood fiber or rubber mulch. By creating a defined perimeter around the playground, border timbers help contain surfacing material, establish clear boundaries, and create a cleaner, more finished appearance.

Each Faux Stone Border Timber weighs approximately 15 pounds, making individual sections manageable during installation. A 28-inch ground spike is included with each unit to anchor the timber securely into the ground.

Straight sections measure 4 feet long by 10 inches high and work well for traditional playground perimeters. Curved sections provide additional design flexibility; four curved timbers create approximately a 36-inch inner diameter and 48-inch outer diameter. This gives playground planners more freedom to incorporate curves and decorative elements into the overall surfacing layout.

For child care centers, preschools, elementary schools, parks, churches, and community playgrounds, Faux Stone Border Timbers provide a practical combination of surfacing containment and visual appeal. They can help transform loose-fill surfacing from a functional necessity into a more intentional part of the overall playground design.

Commercial-Grade Durability

Faux Stone Border Timbers are designed for commercial playground, park, school, and child care environments where surfacing containment and long-term outdoor performance are important. Each section includes a 28-inch ground spike that anchors the border into the ground and helps maintain its position around the playground perimeter.

The 15-pound sections are lighter and easier to handle than natural stone while providing a similar decorative appearance. Straight and curved options also make it possible to design borders around different playground shapes rather than limiting the project to simple rectangular layouts.

Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions, so site conditions should be evaluated when determining whether this mounting method is appropriate for a particular playground project.

Elementary schools
Parks and municipal playgrounds
Churches and community organizations

SportsPlay Faux Stone Border Timbers combine function with a more natural playground aesthetic.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
