Advice needed on bark chipping

Hi Guys. This is my first post, so please be gentle!
I am looking to lay an area of my garden in chippings of some sort to create a play area. I have heard, though, that this can atract cats. Does anyone know of a brand that stops them (but must be child friendly)or any other way to stop them toileting on my play area?

I would appreciate as much advice on this as possible. You can email me direct ir post a reply here.

Thanks in anticipation!.......... :confused: [email][email protected][/EMAIL] :confused:

 

i dont know of a brand name but i have seen on tv a type which had citronella in it to deter cats and dogs,but it was expensive. i have no idea where you can buy it but if you ask your garden centre then they may be able to source it for you. if its not too big a play area then maybe you could mix a couple of bags with normal stuff.
