How Much Mulch To Use

If you are using mulch or play bark beneath children’s play equipment, you will find suggested depths in each product description. The thickness of bark mulch required depends on the critical fall heights and the type of mulch you have chosen.
To calculate the amount of mulch you need to order, multiply the width of the area by its length and then by the depth required. This will give you a measurement in volume. As a rule of thumb, one cubic metre = 1000 litres of bark
