Log Tangle 2.3

Play Value

Log Tangle 2.3 incorporates two elevated triangular platforms (one high and one low). A flexform sling seat with small holes that may help children pull themselves up provides an accessible route from a transfer bench to the lowest platform. A junior Post and Rope gives access to the lower platform. Magnetic beads can be pushed along a triangular rail above the lower platform. An accessible bridge climber links to the higher platform with a slide and climbing wall.

Log Tangles can be functionally linked with other Post and Rope elements, Log Piles or Log Jams (where available) or can be a stand-alone playground structure.

Option: Add shade sail over slide

Merits

Scale the climbing wall with your feet while holding the rope, or use the irregularly placed cut outs for hands and feet to ascend to the high platform before escaping down the slide. Log Tangle 2.3 has options for a steep climb up the climbing wall or a gradual lower-challenge option via the timber beam to the lower platform. This is a great natural wood playground structure that has kinetic parts for gross motor development (wobble bridge and flexform sling access) and fine motor play with the repelling/attracting magnetic beads.

Materials

Log Tangles are built primarily with hand-processed Robinia pseudoacacia logs sourced from Ontario and the Northeastern United States. Logs have a minimum diameter of 6 inches and anti-crack bolts are added to the ends of each log. The slide deck platform and climbing wall is made of Accoya. The wood texture is a pleasant sensory experience. As a poor conductor of heat, the wood never feels too hot or too cold to bare skin.

All slides are available in either plastic (with colour options) or stainless steel. Black rubber flexform is used for the accessible bridge climber and the access climber (with cut out holes). Nets and ropes are nylon-wrapped steel core. The transfer bench is oak. Magnets are embedded in a round 5”/130mm bead.

Caution: Mild magnetic field. Can be ordered without magnets.
