Bulk Bag Of Bark

Sometimes, only a very large bag will do! This Bulk Bag of Bark contains a massive 175kg of organic material, offering an incredible volume for transforming large areas of your outdoor setting. Forget having to constantly refill small containers; this bag provides enough bark to cover approximately 14 square metres at 5cm deep, making it perfect for soft surfacing, defined pathways, or creating deep, satisfying digging areas. The natural texture and smell offer fantastic sensory feedback, connecting children directly with the forest environment. Using this bulk material requires shovels and wheelbarrows, which is superb for developing essential gross motor skills and coordination. An authentic, natural medium that elevates your continuous provision and supports scientific observation all year round.
