GENERAL USE/FALL ZONE & FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS
STATIONARY & PORTABLE EQUIPMENT – USE/FALL ZONES SHOULD EXTEND A MINIMUM OF 6 FEET IN ALL
DIRECTIONS FROM THE PERIMETER OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUND SPACE. THIS AREA SHOULD BE COVERED
WITH THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF RESILIENT SAFETY SURFACING MATERIAL. FOR SOME EQUIPMENT –
USE/FALL ZONES CAN OVERLAP. SEE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION GUIDELINES.
DIAMETER & DEPTH OF FOOTING ILLUSTRATED ARE SATISFACTORY IN MOST APPLICATIONS FOR PIPE
SIZES UP TO 2 3/8” DIAMETER. VARYING SOIL & CLIMATIC CONDITIONS MAY REQUIRE DEEPER &
HEAVIER FOOTINGS IN SOME AREAS. CHECK LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
* If resilient surfacing is to be less than 12”, then additional pipe should be put in
concrete to maintain proper finish grade for equipment.
