Description

Replace traditional wood bark with our EN1177-certified rubber play bark chippings. The rubber alternative delivers a far longer lifespan, consistent safety performance and none of the rot, splinter or hidden-debris problems of organic bark products.

  • EN1177 Impact Attenuation Certified — independently tested and certified for critical fall height compliance beneath playground equipment
  • No Rot or Decomposition — rubber does not rot, decompose or attract insects, delivering consistent safety performance year after year
  • Splinter-Free — no sharp edges or splinters; completely safe for barefoot play and children falling into the surface
  • No Foreign Object Concealment — unlike wood bark, rubber chippings don't allow needles, glass or sharp objects to hide beneath the surface
  • Long-Lasting — rubber bark lasts many years longer than wood alternatives, providing significant long-term cost savings
  • Natural Bark Appearance — realistic colour and texture gives the attractive natural look of traditional bark mulch
  • Low Maintenance — occasional raking to redistribute is all that's needed; no replacement for years

The specification choice of progressive schools, nurseries and local authorities replacing traditional bark play surfaces. Available in bags for easy transport and application. Suitable for all playground equipment use cases.

INSTALLATION
Spread evenly to the required depth across the play area. A minimum depth of 200mm is recommended for fall heights up to 1.5m (refer to EN1177 for fall height guidance). Contain within a border edging to prevent spread. Top up as needed after heavy use or weathering.

Rake regularly to maintain even depth and remove debris. Top up annually or as needed to maintain certified fall-protection depth. Remove any contamination (litter, animal waste) promptly. No special treatments required.
