 Product Info & How-To Tips
|
Off-leash areas rapidly become the most popular locations within most parks, and the grass is quickly loved to death, especially if not irrigated. Lack of grass leads to craters and dirt in the park.
|
|
“Woof” Fiber from Dog-ON-It-Parks is the solution. Made of specially ground wood fibers, it helps reduce mud puddles, craters, dust and dirt in your dog park.
|
|
Engineered “Woof” Fiber is a concept borrowed from the playground and equestrian industries, where a safe, impact-absorbing and slip-resistant surfacing material is a must.
|
|
“Woof” Fiber should be installed at least 4 inches deep (do not use an underlayment or geotextile). Be aware that a certain amount of maintenance will sometimes be needed to maintain a uniform depth.
|
|
Because the long fibers tend to mat down and interlock together, the surface actually improves with age and use, to resist movement and absorb impact.
| |
|
Engineered “Woof” Fiber is made from specially ground virgin wood fibers that have been screened to yield random-sized particles that generally do not exceed ½″ x 2″ in size. This longer shape, along with the smaller-size particles, aids in the interlocking process to reduce movement and eliminate splinters.
|
|
For quality control purposes, the material must be made from virgin lumber sources to avoid contaminants, and must be suitable for use by both children and dogs. Surfacing material must be ADA accessible, and must be tested to comply with ASTM F-1951 Accessibility requirements, with recent test data available.
|
|
Delivery will be made on self-unloading, live-floor trucks, to a paved point closest to the dog park that is accessible by a 53-foot semi-truck.
|
|
To estimate the proper amount of material needed, multiply your area in square feet by a factor of .017 to get the number of cubic yards required. This number includes the extra material required to allow for initial fluff, and should yield a true depth of 4″ after settling and compaction.
