Your playground markings, start to finish – our process.
I first visited Castledockrell National School three weeks prior to applying the thermoplastic playground markings. The purpose of my visit to the school was to finalise the schools order and ensure that the markings wanted would fit the intended area.
Once at the school it became evident that some of the existing thermoplastic markings were in a very poor state. These original markings were not properly prepared before application and allowed water & frost to get underneath. Eventually the playground markings cracked and started to chip away. As part of the contract we agreed to remove these original playground markings.
With the schools order ready, I took advantage of a fine dry day and called out to the schools to start transforming their school yard.
The Process.
9am. Before 9am the existing, tatty markings were removed and the yard was measured out.
I started by installing a solid Hopscotch, measuring just short of 3m long and with the four primary colours which really brought life into that corner of the yard. This was followed by one of our newer marking of an A-Z alphabet spiral and our ever popular number snakes and a 3m diameter Target Board.
Giant Ladybird Hopscotch
1pm. By early afternoon it was to me move on to the centre piece of the schools yard – a Giant Ladybird Hopscotch consisting of 16 sections, measuring 3.6m x 3.6m and covering a total of nearly 13 square metres. Despite its size and complexity this markings offers great value for money.
With a vibrant red body, jet black spots and contrasting yellow markings this ladybird makes a great centre piece to any school yard and gives the children hours of fun.
3pm. Finished playground markings project, all cleaned up and ready to get back to the office. The markings put onto the school yard will last the school for many years, remaining vibrant in colour and fully non-slip for safe use in all weathers.
