Timber Trails Costs

The cost of a timber trail can often range between £500 to well over £5,000, depending on the timber trail items you choose.

This cost will vary dramatically based on the timber trail itself since no two trails are going to be identical.

This price range changes based on:

• The amount of timber trail items you choose to install
• The complexity of those individual items
• The path that all timber trail items have to take to follow one another
• Other complications, like safety details or additions that need to be included for spaces like public parks

Where are Timber Trails Installed?

Benefits of Timber Trails

Timber trails can provide a range of benefits over conventional exercise equipment in spaces like public parks, such as:

Variety – A more diverse range of exercise options can help children develop and play in a wider range of ways.

Safety – Trails are designed for safety, meaning that children can balance and climb on safe surfaces rather than random logs or trees they find.

Flexibility – Most trails are simply a chain of different pieces that follow one another, meaning that each product you include can open up new play options.

Reliability – We can provide trails with steel feet made using strong wood, which can add extra strength to each piece.

What is a Timber Trim Trail?

A timber trim trail is a trail of different exercise frames or structures made from timber, essentially creating an obstacle course.

These pieces can be arranged in almost any order, with each one often being a distinct product.

These trails are a way to add multiple exercise options to a single space, such as public parks.

Instead of trying to add a balance beam, add a climbing frame and add monkey bars separately, a trail is a way to add many different play features in one area.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What are Timber Trials For?

Timber trails are perfect for younger children. They add a great exercise space but also add plenty of room for physical learning.

The fact that they add a whole trail of activities can also add some extra chances for older children to have some fun.

Timber trails add a lot of activities into one space. 

Not everything they add will be ideal for each child, but they add enough to make them a product worth including in an outdoor space.

Who should install timber trails, steel feet, etc?

Timber trails are best installed by professionals. 

While some may be simple, they need to be installed in the right way to add proper safety benefits.

This may include needing to add additional safety measures depending on the location and timber trail layout.

Where should I choose what to include in a timber trail?

If you are not sure what to order to add to your trail, talk with experts.

While you can add any number of features, the more you add, the more expensive and complex the trail becomes.

It is best to add variety, especially if you want to add a trail that appeals to a lot of children.

When you order something to add to a trail, it does not need to be a perfect fit.

Many trails add a lot of different pieces together with gaps between them, leaving a lot of flexibility to add the features you want.

Just remember to check everything you want to add so you do not try to add something that might be too complicated for the age range you are targeting.

Look at images and descriptions along with seeking help from experts if you are not sure what something is.

Why are timber trails worth it?

Timber trails add a lot of exercise and play equipment for children in a single place.

This lets you add a whole playground in a small area and can add a lot to an existing playground as well.

While trails may cost more than just choosing to add a single swing or climbing frame, they also add plenty of value in terms of activities.

How do you install timber trails?

These trails are best installed by professionals.

While installing them simply means getting them embedded into the ground and secured in place, professionals can add extra touches to make them safer and more durable.

When do timber trails need repaired?

Trails should be repaired whenever they suffer obvious damage and checked at least once per year.

Experts like us can add extra coatings to minimize potential wear and tear to trails, but eventually, they will still need to be repaired.

Niche Safety Standards / Environmental Requirements

• BS EN 1177 – surfacing needs to be appropriate to the critical fall height and add proper protection for children falling from each product
• BS 7188 – the playground features need to have (or add) resistance to abrasive wear
