Play Bark Chippings

Postby Izzie D » Mon May 17, 2010 5:36 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea where I can find Bark chippings for a kids play area?
It is currently situated on sand, but this is already as hard as rock and gets very, very dusty in the summer months!!!!

Hope someone can help

Thanks all :-)

My friends had a grass looking sponge on thiers kids area of thier terrace, I have also seen it in local play areas, but not sure were you buy it or the cost, but its really spongy and doesn't attract flies and mice, so they told me.

Wow thanks Julie.... sounds expensive though!!

Is it sponge or rubber? Does it blow away in the wind? Did they put a membrane under it? - sorry sooooo many questions!!!

Would you be very kind and ask where they got it from??

thanks again

It doesn't blow away, but I am not sure what it is made of, I will ask when they get back from Chile.

But I think it was near to Almeria city. Just they seem to go the industrial parks around there for everything.
