Playground Surfacing Accessories
At Fibar, we recognize the pivotal role of accessories in optimizing playground surfacing. From wear mats to borders and wheelchair ramps, these additions enhance the safety, functionality, and aesthetics of our children’s recreational spaces.
FibarMat
Playground Wear Mats
FibarMat is designed to help playgrounds adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by managing engineered wood fiber surfacing to help keep them accessible and safety compliant. Installing these wear mats helps prevent the displacement of loose-fill surfacing in high-traffic areas, and keeps surfaces safe and level.

- Beveled edges for fewer trip hazards
- Specially designed resistance bottom
- Made in the USA from recycled tires
