Kids flooring can sometimes be used outdoors in high-traffic areas. These can be installed atop dirt or grass as well as over hard, flat surfaces.

Children involved in gymnastics will appreciate our large line of specialty gymnastic products, such as octagons and wedges. They can be used where youngsters will be tumbling. If finished, simply pack them up and store them away.

These are made of high-impact foam for safer surfaces that are forgiving upon impact. Durable covers with vinyl are easy to clean, so these are a great choice for all ages.
