Round timber is a popular choice for outdoor play equipment , blending extremely well into virtually all gardens, A natural wood that tones with the garden rather than clashing with it, and ages much more sympathetically than steel or aluminium.

For strength and durability round wood comes from smaller trees and is specially selected. These timbers are strong and less costly than those sawn from larger trees and are produced through the selective thinning of managed forests. .

Is wood as strong as steel, aluminium or plastic?

Wood is stronger. We have yet to come across a metal or plastic climbing frame as sturdy and strong as our range of wooden play equipment. This means that the children can play without breaking or bending it.

As a natural product, timber will shrink in the heat and expand in the wet causing some cracking and splitting. This comes and goes as the weather changes and is taken into account when designing the climbing frame and specifying the thickness of wood. It will not affect the structural integrity.

Round log, which is cut from the heartwood of the tree, is more susceptible to splitting than square section timber. This is part of the appeal of the rustic appearance of the round log, so don’t be alarmed if splits as deep as to the centre of the log occur, it is to be expected.

A wooden play-centre is a robust structure that requires no specific maintenance, but equipment should be regularly inspected and the bolts and screws tightened, if necessary.

Care needs to be taken to avoid damage to the surface of the timber frame using a lawn mower or strimmer. The annual application of a water sealer for Pine wood will keep the original honey-brown colour of the wood, for the longevity of the timber.
