Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap

011-STC

The Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap is a rounded Jarrah stump topped with a bright, slip-resistant HDPE cap, built for early learning centres, schools or public play spaces. As coloured stepping stumps, the bright caps help children spot each one as they hop, balance and build coordination stump to stump.

The colourful caps aid spatial recognition and add visual interest to a woodland play layout, while varied heights and spacing create different challenge levels for children of different ages. As capped balance stumps, a colourful variation on VRI’s classic stepping stumps, they bring a vibrant, easy-to-follow balance trail to any early learning or primary school play space.

Crafted in our O’Connor WA workshop using locally grown West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), each stump is topped with a slip-resistant, UV-resistant HDPE cap. As a natural timber product, individual stumps vary, typically 250-350mm in diameter and 200-500mm high, and the Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap is designed in accordance with AS 4685.

VRI supplies these coloured stepping stumps Perth-wide and throughout WA, or as a supply-only option Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Cap colours can be chosen to suit your project. Get in touch to discuss your playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap need a fall zone?

No. Each Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap stands between 200mm and 500mm high with nothing to climb, so no fall zone or impact-attenuating surfacing is required under AS 4685. A trail can be laid directly onto turf, mulch or existing softfall.

What age group suits the Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap?

All ages. Varied heights and spacing create different challenge levels within one trail, and the bright cap on each Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap helps children spot the next one as they hop, which supports spatial recognition for younger children in particular while still challenging confident movers.

What makes the Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap different from a plain stump?

The cap. Each Stepping Stump with HDPE Cap is topped with a slip-resistant, UV-resistant HDPE cap in a colour of your choosing, giving a vibrant, easy-to-follow trail. Stumps are typically 250mm to 350mm in diameter and 200mm to 500mm high.
