Things You'll Need:
- Utility knife
-
Step 1
Start laying your rubberized playground flooring at one edge of the yard.
-
Step 2
Fit the pieces of rubber mats together like a puzzle.
-
Step 3
Use a utility knife to trim the edges of the flooring, or mark and cut them with a jigsaw. Spray a lubricant on the knife to enable it to easily cut through the rubber mats.
-
Step 4
Place a 2-by-4 board under the area when cutting the rubber mats with a utility knife. This provides an arch that makes it easier to cut through than when lying flat on the ground.
-
Step 5
Continue to install the rubberized flooring across the yard and diagonally until you get to the opposite three sides.
-
Step 6
Simply lay the flooring on the ground. Adhesive is not necessary when installing rubberized playground flooring. When equipment and supplies are moved onto the flooring, the mats might move some, but they will settle in eventually.
