One of the main elements of the set design was to have the floor covered in bark chippings. We investigated the option of having real bark chippings, but instead opted for a rubber chip due to issues surrounding pests and insects along with the cost of a floorcloth under the bark. Although this was a more expensive option, we didn't have to use pesticide, or flambar.
As rubber chip is actually recycled tyres that have been chopped up, it was essential to thoroughly risk assess the bark as it is a potential fire risk. Spontaneous heating of piled rubber crumb

It was estimated that 750kg of bark would be needed to cover the entire floor area to a depth of around 40mm.
Unfortunately we eventually only used the bark around the edge of the set, as due to rehearsal room availability, we were unable to rehearse with the full quantity of bark.
