Notched Play Post

Balance between two posts to climb as high as you can, then jump or climb back down! Notched Play Posts are a simple climbing feature when grouped together. They also work well alongside other Log play elements and can be used in combination to create circuits of adventure play. Notched Play Posts are are best when used in multiples.

Notched Posts are available in the following sizes:

• Notched Post 7 = 10' height
• Notched Post 5 = 8' height

Play Value

Notched Play Posts are available in two lengths and can be placed individually or in groups. They also work well in combination with Log Steppers or Bog Stilts to functionally link other playground elements. Taller Logs have 7 notches carefully hand cut out of each log. Shorter Logs have 5 notches. Hand cutting the notches means that they are not perfectly spaced to create some variation from post to post.

Merits

Climbing Notched Play Posts takes skill, a sense of adventure and a fearlessness about heights! When placed in groups, the Notched Play Posts appear as trees, waiting to be cilmbed. The notches function like branches that children (or teens and adults!) can use to ascend. Some may only choose to go to the first notch while others will attempt to go much higher!

Groupings of Notched Play Posts can also be a ground level play feature. Children who aren't interested in climbing the logs can simply use them as obstacles to manouever around and through. Along with Bog Stilts and Log Steppers, creative play paths can be made and children at ground level can play with those who dare to move higher!

Materials

Notched Play Posts are made of hand-processed Robinia pseudoacadia logs sourced from Ontario and the Northeastern United States. Posts have a minimum diameter of 6 inches. Notches are hand cut into the side of the log at not quite perfectly spaced intervals. The wood texture of the hand-sanded Robinia logs is a pleasant sensory experience. As a poor conductor of heat, the wood never feels too hot or too cold to bare skin.

Accessibility

When located on an accessible surface, Notched Play Posts are an accessible ground level play feature.
