Zone-Log Rolls may overlap with neighboring equipment if what condition is met?

  1. There is at least 9' between equipment

  2. They are of the same color

  3. Both types of equipment are for the same age group

  4. There is at least 6' between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are no more than 30 inches

The correct answer is: There is at least 6' between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are no more than 30 inches

When planning and designing playground equipment in a Zone-Log configuration, it is crucial to consider the required safety zones around each piece of equipment to prevent overlapping and potential collisions. These safety zones vary based on the height and type of equipment, but typically require a minimum of 6 feet of spacing between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces (such as swings or slides) are no more than 30 inches in height. Options A, B, and C do not address this specific condition and do not necessarily ensure safe spacing between equipment. For example, option A only mentions a minimum distance between equipment, but does not account for the height or type of equipment. Option B, the color of the equipment, has no impact on safe spacing. And option C, while it may seem logical that equipment for the same age group would be spaced apart, fails to address the height and type of equipment and may still result
