Product Details

Play Bark consists of durable, large bark pieces in warm, natural tones, offering both visual appeal and critical fall protection.

Independently tested to BS EN 1176 and using the BS EN 1177 impact testing process, Play Bark delivers a critical fall height in excess of 3 metres at recommended depths, making it suitable for use beneath swings, slides, and climbing frames. Its chunky texture deters cats and dogs, drains freely, and remains long-lasting with minimal maintenance.

This bark is ideal for creating safe, low-maintenance play surfaces that blend seamlessly into landscaped environments. Produced to meet strict safety and quality standards, Play Bark provides contractors and local authorities with a reliable, certified solution for playground surfacing.
