Details
Engineered for playgrounds. Clean natural wood fiber with NO dyes, chemicals, or reclaimed pallet wood — meets ASTM F2075 safety standards for impact absorption under play equipment.
The fibers knit together when compressed, which cushions falls and keeps the surface stable under heavy foot traffic. For full safety rating, install 9–12 inches deep under play structures. For general use (pathways, dog runs), 3 inches is plenty.
