Scotbark Playbark 70 Litre is a high-quality pine bark surface material designed to provide a safe, cushioned and visually appealing solution for play areas and landscaped environments. Its natural, resilient structure makes it highly effective as an impact-absorbing surface beneath play equipment, helping to reduce the risk of injury in schools, parks and public spaces.
In addition to its use in play areas, Scotbark Playbark performs exceptionally well as a general landscaping mulch. When applied to beds, borders and planted areas, it helps suppress weed growth, retain soil moisture and protect plant roots from adverse weather conditions such as frost, heavy rain and temperature extremes. As the bark naturally breaks down over time, it also helps condition the soil, supporting healthier plant growth.
Suitable for use by local authorities, schools, landscape contractors and domestic gardeners, Scotbark Playbark offers an all-round solution that combines safety, durability and aesthetic appeal. Supplied in a convenient 70 litre bag, it is easy to handle, install and maintain, making it ideal for both large-scale public projects and smaller garden applications.
