Dandy's PlaySafe Play Area Bark

✅ TESTED AND CERTIFIED

Description

Dandy's PlaySafe Play Area Bark is 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!

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.

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.

We can supply you with 3 sizes of bulk bag:

  • Jumbo Bulk Bag which contains approx 1000ltrs (one cubic metre)
  • Standard Bulk Bag contains about 750ltrs (same as most builders merchants)
  • Midi Bulk Bag contains approx 500ltrs

Small Handy Bags are approximately 50ltrs and the perfect option if you want a small quantity or if you have access issues and will need to carry through your house or over any walls etc.

Quantity Calculations

Topsoil and Sand

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required

Bark, Mulch and Compost

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth

Garden Lawn Turf

Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed.  We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.

Natural Stone Paving

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need.  Our packs are 15.25m2.

Gravel and Slate

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth

Crusherrun

Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)

Conversion:

1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag

1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Amazing Service and a brilliant price

Cannot fault Dandys, the price was incredible, site discount stacked with a promotion code saved me 100s of pounds. The delivery team were brilliant too, I wasn't home and they could have left the bag on some grass but to make my life easier they dragged the bag up my driveway which is on a 45 degree slope and got it to the back gate, saving me multiple trips with a wheelbarrow.

Already recommended them to others.

Good product

The bark is great really good quality however I would say to order more than it advises as the covering needs to be think. Soft bark and looks great though. Side note if you buy the under lay product the site advises the give you 10 pegs for 50m2 and it just isn’t enough to hold it in place so you will need to buy more pegs for the ground sheet

Hi Jim, thank you for your feedback. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we'll make some changes to and get some packs added to the 50m2 option! Many thanks

Thankfully I got a good discount on my order due the the promotion at the time. I chose this due to Dandy’s description “playSafe Play Bark“ and was expecting it to be more chunky than it was. There were a lot of strips of wood in the bag that I wasn’t expecting. It was quite soft so maybe that’s what the playsafe refers too. Other than that great delivery service. Great colour and looks good regardless.

Good bark

The bark is a good size and colour. I wanted it for walkways, but after monsoon rain, I have transferred it to my borders where I think it is most suited and useful. Dandys are good value and excellent service.
