How much space should there be around a Rhapsody playset?
There are no published standards for indoor play systems, so the following is a composite of information for outdoor play systems and common sense. • If the playset is against a wall, it should be either less than 3.5″ from the wall or more than 9″ from the wall. Spacing from 3.5″-9″ isconsidered a head and neck entrapment. • The slides are fast, so try to allow at least 3-4′ at the end of our Playdeck 30 slides, and 4′-6′ at the end of our Playdeck 45 slides. • As for the rest of the playset, it depends on the deck height and accessory. For our lowest decks and accessories with the most gentle exit, 2′ should be sufficient. For our highest decks, 4′ is recommended when there is no fence. Of course, some judgment should be applied since having a brick wall within the safety zone is different than having a bean bag chair the same distance away.
