Overview

A low balance trail made from three natural Robinia logs set in a zig-zag. Children step on at the low end, walk the logs and change direction where they cross, building balance, coordination and core strength. Up to 16 children aged 3 and over can use it at once, so it suits group play at break time as well as structured PE. With a free-fall height under 0.6 m, it can sit on grass. Robinia is naturally durable and weather-resistant, with stainless or capped fixings and no sharp edges. Use it on its own or as part of a longer trim trail in school playgrounds, parks, forest-school areas and housing developments. Certified to BS EN 1176-1:2017+A1:2023.
