Our trim trails are designed to engage young minds and bodies, constructed in play grade round timber. The trails feature a series of imaginative obstacles and challenges, perfect for promoting physical activity, coordination, and teamwork among pupils. Each station along the trail presents a unique opportunity for children to develop their motor skills, build strength, and foster a sense of adventure. Whether they're navigating the cargo net, conquering the balance beams, or traversing across swinging logs, the trim trail course provides endless opportunities for children to challenge themselves through active play.
Each Active Trail offers limitless creative possibilities for optimising your school playground space. It features a diverse range of elements, including rope bridges, ladder bars, and climbing nets.
The components of our Active Trails are meticulously crafted from pressure-treated, play-grade, machined round timber. Our commitment to durability is evident in the foundations, which are situated below ground level and encased in concrete and further shielded by a robust bitumen sleeve to prevent degradation of the timber. We use galvanised or stainless steel fixings to connect the timbers, and our 16mm ropes feature a steel wire core for enhanced durability and pupil safety. The timber is sourced from premium-grade, sustainable materials, and our support posts carry a 15-year warranty against rot and infestation, ensuring the longevity of your Active Trail.
Our extensive range includes 38 individual components that constitute our Active Trail collection. You have the flexibility to choose as many or as few as space allows. Whether it’s wobbly log bridges to boost balance or climbing walls to develop upper body strength, we offer options suitable for various spaces and budgets. Notable, our popular net climbers are available in a range of sizes.
