How to create the perfect play area at home

Creating a play area is a simple but effective way of keeping your little ones safe while they enjoy the outdoor space. Just strip back the turf and place down a weed membrane, place down Play bark and hey presto – Play area! Play bark is a hardwearing material which will not stain clothes and is the perfect material for a play area because of its long-lasting qualities and because it provides a softer landing than turf, as well as looking great as well! If you are wanting to create a sand pit instead of a play area then the easiest way is to create a frame from timber and fill with play pit sand (also called playground sand) is what you need, Play bark and play pit sand materials are available from Direct Gravel.
