Schools, day care centres, businesses, and organisations all across Australia are investing in post padding to create safer environments for their students and visitors. Whether it's on the playground, in the gymnasium, or around sports fields, post padding provides essential protection against collisions with steel posts, giving parents peace of mind and reducing the risk of injury.
How to Measure for Post Padding
To ensure a perfect fit, it’s important to measure your posts correctly. Here’s how:
-
For round posts: Use a measuring tape to measure around the post. This measurement gives you the circumference.
-
Divide the circumference by 3.14 (π) to get the diameter.
-
For square or rectangular posts: Measure each side of the post separately.
Choosing the Right Size
We offer a range of standard post padding sizes. Here’s some examples of how to match your measurements to our available options:
-
If your diameter measures 11cm, our 10 x 10cm internal dimension pads will fit.
-
If your diameter measures 14cm, our 15 x 15cm internal dimension pads will fit.
-
If you have a rectangular post with one side measuring 20cm and the shorter side 9cm, our 20 x 10cm pad is the right choice.
Not sure which size you need? Just provide us with your post’s circumference or side measurements, and we’ll do the rest!
Square Pads Fit Round Posts Too!
Our most popular post padding is our square post padding, which fits both square and round posts. Many customers assume square padding is only for square posts, but in reality, it provides a snug and secure fit for circular posts as well.
