Playscape Bark

Playscape Bark is an attractive, alternative safety surface for certain types of installation such as smaller, static items. A natural material that blends with park and woodland environments, its relatively low cost also makes it suitable for modest budgets.

Material and specification
Playscape Bark is specially selected conifer bark, screened to offer a consistent particle size that provides optimum impact energy absorption to protect youngsters at play. Its low density-to-volume ratio renders it impractical for children to use as a missile!

In order to comply with BS EN 1177, the depth of Safety Bark should be 200mm more than the depth required to meet the HIC (Head Injury Criterion) reading, i.e. the certified Critical Fall Height (CFH) of the Bark.

Wicksteed does not recommend installation of Playscape Bark under swings or other moving equipment, because it is easily displaced.

Extra length support legs are required for products being installed into bark surfacing and should be specified when ordering.
