Stepping Stumps with Painted Top

001-STP

Stepping Stumps with Painted Top bring natural Jarrah stumps and vibrant painted tops together as painted stepping stumps for schools, early learning centres or public spaces, giving children a hop-from-stump-to-stump balance trail with extra visual cues for spatial recognition.

Children naturally hop from stump to stump, developing balance, coordination and risk-assessment skills as they navigate varied heights and spacing, while the painted top stumps sharpen visual interest and spatial recognition. As colourful balance stumps they double as informal seating, giving early learning centres, schools or public spaces a flexible, low-maintenance addition to any nature play trail.

Crafted in our O’Connor WA workshop using locally grown West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), each of these painted stepping stumps is sanded smooth, with a weather-resistant painted top that keeps the authentic timber texture on show for grip. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685, with stumps typically 250-350mm in diameter and 200-500mm high.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Stepping Stumps with Painted Top need a fall zone?

No. Stepping Stumps with Painted Top stand between 200mm and 500mm high with nothing to climb, so no fall zone or impact-attenuating surfacing is required under AS 4685. A course can be set directly into turf, mulch or garden bed without altering the surfacing you have specified.

What age group suits Stepping Stumps with Painted Top?

All ages. Varied heights and spacing let you set the challenge, so younger children take short easy hops while confident walkers tackle wider gaps. Stepping Stumps with Painted Top double as informal seating, which makes them useful in an early learning yard as well as a school.

What sizes and colours do Stepping Stumps with Painted Top come in?

Stepping Stumps with Painted Top are typically 250mm to 350mm in diameter and 200mm to 500mm high, and as a natural timber product each one varies. Painted tops are matched to your palette, and the paint keeps the authentic Jarrah texture on show for grip rather than sealing it flat.
