Log Tangle 2.4

Play Value

Log Tangle 2.4 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 to the lowest platform. A junior rope crossing with four converging ropes gives access to the 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 flexform triangles.

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

Option: Add shade sail over slide

Merits

Log Tangle 2.4 offers a great combination of low and high challenge play with plenty of room for the imagination. It takes balance, agility and perhaps some extra thinking to climb the angled flexform triangles to the higher platform. The junior rope crossing to the lower platform is made more difficult because of the converging ropes which may force a small child to start off balancing on one rope before they can get one foot on each rope. Magnetic beads are a mesmerizing passive play option.

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 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 sling seats, 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.
