Eco Playground Bark Chippings questions
Q. How do I lay bark chippings for a play area?
When laying bark chippings, it is crucial to ensure the depth correlates to the potential fall heights. A fall height of 1.6m needs 10cm, 4.1m needs 20cm & 5m needs 30cm. This ensures the surface is compliant with EN 1177 safety standards.
Q. Why should I use bark chippings for my playground surface?
Our Bark chippings are certified to playground safety standards (EN1177:2008), meaning when applied to correct depths, it provides a safer surface. The darker colour of the bark also looks fantastic, meaning playgrounds and play areas have a professional, premium appearance.
