Whether in a playground, backyard, or community park, the objective is the same—give children quality playtime. In addition to promoting physical health, quality playtime encourages collaboration, communication, patience, respect, and empathy, making it an essential component driving children’s growth.

Structured playground games, such as four-square or hopscotch, that boost learning and encourage social interaction, can be easily designed and organized with playground stencils and a little paint or chalk. Stencils are generally reusable and can be configured in a variety of shapes, sizes and arrangements, making them go-to choices for schools, parents, and recreation centers.

Precision Cutting Service produces playground stencils for hundreds of schools, parks, municipalities, and homeowners nationwide, and we have been doing so for more than 25 years. Teachers, parents, and recreation directors across the country count on us to produce their playground stencils because our stencils can be economically designed and produced to meet specific needs. Plus, in addition to being reusable, they are durable and, most important, help create games that are fun and educational. Indeed, they enable our customers to provide hours of instruction, exercise, and entertainment to children and adults of all ages for a modest cost.

Making use of our advanced waterjet cutting technology, we provide both off-the-shelf and custom stencil configurations, giving schools, communities and homeowners maximum flexibility to create playground games that perfectly fit the surface that is available.

Learning and Play—Growth Recipe for Kids
Playgrounds that use our game stencils offer teachers, parents, and recreation directors innovative ways to make learning interesting. Geography lessons, for example, can be reinforced with fun playground surface maps. Outdoor numbers games can make math less intimidating, and multi-colored alphabet games enhance language skills.

In fact, when academic subjects get converted to games, children gain hands-on experience with teamwork and new ways of solving problems. Another benefit our playground stencils provide is, when coupled with paint, they easily turn plain and tired-looking asphalt or concrete surfaces into vibrant, engaging spaces.

Outdoor Sensory Play for Better Concentration
These days, children tend to spend an inordinate amount of time seated in front of some sort of screen or monitor. This limits the sensory pathways that are critical for their development.

Playground games are an effective method for combatting excess screen time and stimulating sensory pathways. They offer creative activities that strengthen sight, sound, touch, balance and spatial awareness, and enhance a child’s ability to complete complex and multi-stage tasks, either as an individual or as a member of a group. Playground games also provide children with refreshing brain breaks that boost their concentration when they return to the classroom.

Different Types of Playground Stencils Games
Some of the most popular stencil-dependent playground games include hopscotch, alphabet discovery, conflict-resolution, fitness exercises, shuffleboard and map and compass usage. Hopscotch is one of the most popular and among the easiest to add to any playground surface. It is available in a multitude of themes, including jungle animals, flowers, people’s faces, numbers, common objects and various other shapes.

Other stencil-oriented playground games promote fitness, including patterns for jumping jacks, squats, side-to-side jumps and lunges. Still others, like basketball, tetherball and handball, help improve motor skills, hand-eye coordination and teamwork. Precision Cutting Service also creates custom logo stencils to help you boost school, community and/or family identity.

ADA-Compliant Stencils from Precision Cutting Service

Precision Cutting Service has helped hundreds of customers across the US produce ADA-compliant stencils to meet the needs of their accessibility clients, customers and patients. Whether you need a complex or routine design for your facility, we provide stencils in different sizes and materials and can accommodate both one-off and multiple orders.

We are well-versed with ADA regulations and keep up with the changes to ensure that our customers get only the most accurate sizes and symbols. We use state-of-the-art, computer-controlled waterjet cutting machines to ensure precision and accuracy for even the most intricate cuts and produce products with minimal material waste. With tolerances up to .003”, our cutting nozzles direct a very fine and highly pressurized stream of water to perfectly create the stencils you need. Our stencils do not require any secondary finishing, saving you both time and money. Some of the common materials that our customers request for their custom cut stencils include aluminum, plastic, vinyl, and rubber.

Standard ADA Compliance Regulations for Parking Lots
Standard rules for ADA compliance provide an estimate of the number of accessible parking spots according to the size of the parking lot. These rules also include instructions for dimensions. Accessible parking spaces must be at least 8 feet wide with an adjacent aisle measuring the same. A parking lot with fewer than 25 spaces should have at least one accessible parking space, and for lots with up to 1000 spaces, 2% of the total must be allocated for accessible spots. Additionally, at least one of every six accessible spaces needs to be van-accessible. The regulations also require parking to be located at the shortest acceptable route that offers the easiest access to the building entrance.

These parking spaces must be painted with the international wheelchair symbol indicating that they are “accessibility-only” spaces. Blue and white are the most common colors for painting handicap-accessible spaces. Some places, however, choose to use red, yellow, and green believing these colors are more compelling. Either way, the ultimate goal is to ensure that the pavement markings clearly indicate they are reserved for people with accessibility requirements.

Stencils are a critical tool for ADA compliance
It is important to select a company that it experienced in furnishing stencils that precisely comply with ADA regulations. Precision Cutting Service has a long history of providing these ADA compliant stencils.

You can tell us what kind of ADA compliant stencil you require and where it will be used and our knowledgeable staff will take it from there. You can also send us a CAD or PDF file, vector graphic, technical drawing, rough sketch, or the actual stencil you want us to produce. Again, either way, we will provide you with a detailed quote and then insure your timely and accurate ADA compliant stencil delivery.

Creating unique artwork using custom cut stencils is one way to achieve this. Every space in your home, whether it is a wall, ceiling, or floor, provides endless possibilities for creative expression, and stencil art is one way for you to enhance these spaces and craft eye-catchy centerpieces. Stencil art also makes a novel and compelling statement about your style and helps reflect your personality in your home.

We offer custom residential stencils for family rooms, poolsides, game rooms, kitchens, and baths so you will never run out of options. Our stencils come with a wide range of capabilities, from the complex to the routine, from large sizes to small, and from orders that include multiple stencils to one-offs. Our customers often request stencils made from aluminum, plastic, vinyl, and rubber, but if you have any specific material in mind, you can count on us to fulfill your requirement. Our computer-controlled waterjet cutting machines can cut virtually any material you can imagine while creating precise, smooth edges to give you the detail you need.

Here are a few ideas for how to transform your space with stencil art.

Walls
Lately, as wall paper has fallen out of favor in some parts of the country, people have been adding character to their painted walls with unique designs. Colorful patterns bring vibrancy to spaces and break monotony. If you want to give your room similar character, without incurring the expense of hiring an artist to hand paint the detail of your design, you should use our custom wall stencil capabilities to create a pattern that can be easily applied to your wall surface with the design of your choice. Roller, brush and spray-painting are particularly effective ways of transferring your design to the surface of your choice.

Simply send us a sketch or digital art, or even the specific piece you want to reproduce, and we’ll take it from there. The process is quite easy, frankly, and even more affordable.

Ceiling & Floors
Aside from walls, you can also add character to ceilings and floors with stencils. They are a particularly effective vehicle for accomplishing this, although for the latter you might also want to consider using an integral stone or vinyl floor medallion instead of stencil art.

Outdoors
Parents use stencils to create dedicated, well-defined play areas for their children. Stencil designs that are common for outdoor residential use include hopscotch steps, basketball keys, agility exercises and foursquare enclosures, among others.

In short, the only limit to using stencil art is your imagination. Our waterjet cutting nozzles, with their precisely targeted, highly pressurized streams of water, can be as meticulous as you need. No detail is too fine.

Precision Cutting Service has been serving stencil customers throughout the US for more than two decades. Whether you need decorative lettering stencils, outdoor play area stencils, custom wall stencils, or more, contact one of friendly experts today for help getting the stencils you need. Our state-of-the-art waterjet cutting systems enable us to provide compelling prices in addition to the precise detail your stencils require.
