Scotbark Play Chip 70L is a natural, durable wood chip designed specifically for outdoor play areas, while also providing a versatile solution for landscaping and mulching applications. Made from mixed softwood, it provides an attractive rustic finish that blends naturally into gardens, playgrounds and other outdoor spaces. Play Chip is tested to BS EN 1177 and conforms to BS 7188, making it a suitable choice for play surfacing when correctly installed to the appropriate depth.
As well as providing a natural-looking surface for children's play areas, Scotbark Play Chip can be used as a practical landscaping mulch. Applied around suitable plants, trees and shrubs, it can help suppress weed growth, retain soil moisture and protect plant roots from fluctuations in temperature. The natural wood material gradually breaks down over time, making it a practical organic ground cover for a range of outdoor applications.
This product is supplied as a full pallet of 50 x 70-litre bags, making it particularly suitable for larger domestic gardens, schools, nurseries, playgrounds, landscaping projects and commercial outdoor spaces. The individual bags provide a convenient and manageable way to distribute the material around a site, particularly where access for bulk delivery or mechanical handling is limited.
