Dandy's PlaySafe Play Bark Mini Chip is an attractive redwood bark sourced entirely from UK pine bark; a lovely natural product that is tested for impact so approved for use on playgrounds as a cushioning material - make sure you protect those little heads in case they come off the slide too fast or go right over the bar on the swings!
Play Bark is tested to BSEN1177 which is a fall height standard - do please remember that this is a natural wood product so if the kids start rolling through it they are likely to still get splinters - if you're worried about that then you may want to consider rubber chippings or play sand instead.

This is also a decorative bark so it's great for smartening up shabby beds and borders and for surrounding your best plants and shrubs to really show them off to their best. Its pleasing red-brown colour makes it ideal for creating decorative effects. With a rich pine odour, the product is eminently suitable for use in both rural and urban areas. Its low pH makes it an ideal weed suppressant for acid-loving plants such as blueberries, hydrangeas, azaleas, ands camellias. The recommended depth of bark for weed suppression is 100 to 150mm for greatest effect.
