Coloured Target Game Playground Marking

This vibrantly coloured target game can be installed into almost any dull empty area of a playground giving a splash of colour and a dose of entertainment. The target game itself can be played in a number of ways, aiming for high score numbers, or by aiming for specific colours.

This game is perfect for teaching children basic maths skills in a fun and playful way. As it is seen as a fun game played outside it can be great for children who do not enjoy conventional teaching methods.

This marking is one of a range of target-based games that we provide. Alternatives to this full-colour game include the turtle target game and simple circle target game. The dartboard target is a more advanced game which can also be used with easy to throw items with bean bags being ideal. See our full range of playground markings for all game marking options.

Key Features Of Our Thermoplastic Playground Markings

• Exceptionally Durable - The base material is adapted from markings used on public roads so it is very hard-wearing.
• Easy to Apply - Requires no artistic or special skill to apply, only a gas burner. Markings are supplied in pre-cut sections.
• Vibrant Colours - Colours are vivid and will not fade or wear through.
• Great Traction - Embedded beads enhance traction reducing slip risks.

Applying our playground markings is very easy. Firstly the area must be cleaned of all loose debris, oil, grease and salts. Once this is done you are ready to get going. If your chosen surface is old tarmac, concrete or block paving then you will need to use our fast-drying primer.

Once you have fully prepped the surface the marking can be set out. Once you are happy with the marking positioning a gas burner can be used to melt the marking to the tarmac surface. For additional traction glass bead can be sprinkled over the surface, this is fused into the marking with the further application of heat.

It is important to ensure that the whole marking is melted fully to the point that it looks like cheese on toast and follows the contours of the substrate beneath. Failure to do this may mean the marking will lift. Once heated the marking cannot be re-heated as it will have oxidised and set.

Thermoplastic On Block Paving

Thermoplastic on block paving is known to be more difficult to apply and has a substantially shorter lifetime than on bituminous surfaces, such as tarmac.

Block paving is not a solid structure. Most of the time, they are put down and sand is added into the grooves, so over time when moisture creeps in as well as moss, movement can be made within 2 blocks, making the material crack and fail.
