Pour'n'Play

New Zealand's most technically advanced wet-pour rubber safety surface. Seamless, vibrant, and endlessly customisable — with the colour stability to stay that way for decades.

Pour'n'Play is New Zealand's most technically advanced wet-pour rubber safety surface — built around Rosehill TPV granules for colour and UV performance that outlasts EPDM and colour-coated SBR alternatives.

It's installed on-site in a two-part process by NumatREC certified crews. A base layer of recycled tyre rubber is poured first, calibrated in thickness to deliver the required critical fall height. Over that, a 15–20mm coloured TPV top layer is hand-trowelled to a seamless finish.

The result is one continuous playground surface — no joins, no loose fill, no seasonal re-topping. Just a single pour that handles rain, sun, and years of running feet while keeping its colour true.

Six reasons it's the surface we install most.

Every feature has been refined across nearly four decades of New Zealand playgrounds — from windswept Southland schools to Auckland's busiest destination parks.

Durable one-piece surface

Poured in place as a single continuous sheet. No joins to fail, no tiles to lift. Lasts longer and needs less maintenance than tile surfaces.

High-strength TPV top layer

Rosehill TPV rubber granules — soft, flexible, and highly durable. Holds its flexibility for years, keeping the surface safer for longer.

Calibrated shock pad

Base layer thickness tuned to your equipment. Higher play gear gets a thicker pad — certified fall protection up to 3 metres.

Free-draining

Porous by design. Water drains through, leaving the surface ready for play even while it's raining. No puddles, no ice, no closure days.

UV resistant

Rosehill TPV is the market-leading granule for playground surfaces. Outlasts EPDM on colour retention and structural integrity under NZ sun.

Made from recycled rubber

The shock pad uses recycled tyre rubber. One square metre of Pour'n'Play reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 63kg compared to incineration.

21 base colours.
Mix any two — or any five.

Every Pour'n'Play surface is a mix of at least two colours. That's where Pour'n'Play earns its reputation — every pour is tuned to the site, the equipment, and the story you want to tell.

Priced for 20-year value, not 3-year thinking.

Indicative pricing reflects a typical 250m² install. Larger projects benefit from economies of scale; smaller ones carry slightly higher per-m² rates.

Price factors: area size, CFH requirements, design complexity, site access, project location, and custom inlays. For context, loose bark runs $24–$64/m² but needs replacement every 2–5 years.

Remuera Primary School, Auckland.

A school that took full advantage of Pour'n'Play's design capability — turning a fall zone into a full creative playground surface.

Remuera, Auckland

A school playground that doubles as the schoolyard's most recognisable feature.

Remuera Primary wanted their fall zones to do more than protect — they wanted them to define the play space. Pour'n'Play delivered a seamless, multi-colour surface with custom inlays, drawing from the school's full colour brief.

Years on, the colours remain as true as the day they were poured. No seams, no lifting, no fade.
