Certified for safety and impact protection, Bounce Bark® is designed to dissipate the kinetic energy of an impact by localized displacement such that the acceleration is displaced.
We want children to have fun in a playground. The aim of any playground is to stimulate children’s physical and mental development, challenge and grow confidence. The aim of our safety certified bark is to prevent accidents and lessen the risk of harm or consequences if something goes wrong.
See the Bounce Bark® brochure for more details.
CERTIFIED TO NZS5828:2015 STANDARDS This helps reduce liability for all persons responsible for school safety including property managers, principals, and board members. STONE FREE AND MINIMAL STICK CONTENT As the saying goes; sticks and stones may break my bones… they also cause splinters and grazes. TEMPERATURE RESILIENT Bounce Bark is resilient in extreme temperatures. This means it won’t heat up in the height of summer and it won’t become a slip hazard during wet, icy winter months. LARGE NUGGET SIZE Specified and sized to 25-50mm nuggets which adds weight and durability, resulting in a long-lasting product. Low-quality woodchip breaks down quickly. WASHED Although Bounce Bark is washed to eliminate transferable mud, this natural bark product will still help to promote the development of a healthy immune system through play in nature. WIND RESISTANT Bounce Bark is far larger than woodchip. Its increased weight means it won’t get blown out of the play area. NO DISPOSAL COSTS Bounce Bark is a natural product and can be re-used around the school, adding value as a garden covering, and eventually a compost. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Bounce Bark is a naturally occurring by-product of sustainable forestation. The use of Bounce Bark is environmentally responsible and can reduce a school’s carbon footprint through the reduce-reuse-recycle system.
