This makes the wood chips biodegradable and the surface environmentally friendly, keeping kids and the ecosystem around the playground safe from unnecessary chemicals.
Air dried to eliminate dust:
Air drying the wood chips ensures that dust is kept at bay, preventing the irritating particles from affecting those using the playground.

Pegasus Bay Primary School
Numat worked with “design and build” company, Creo, to provide the play surface for the new playground area at Pegasus Bay School.
Youngs Park Playground
When Numat installed playground surfacing at Auckland’s Youngs Park playground it was a slightly different project to most. That was because of the product they were installing – MulchSet. Like Pour’n’Play, MulchSet is a dual-layer, wet pour rubber surface, but instead of a granule top, it has the appearance of wood chip.
Tirimoana School
Tirimoana School was looking to replace the bark safety fall area in their senior playground with a product that was durable, low maintenance, safe for children and aesthetically pleasing.
Karori Park Playground
Karori Park Playground in Wellington was worn down, tired, and small, but it was still a focal community playground that was vibrant and well loved.
