The Dangling Log Traverse is a hanging log traverse for playgrounds: a suspended balance log in Jarrah, hung at an angle between bush poles. The log bucks and shifts underfoot as children cross, building core strength and balance for confident, advanced climbers.
The suspended balance log responds differently to every crossing as children shift their weight, rewarding balance and problem-solving rather than a single fixed technique. It suits confident climbers moving up from standard balance beams, and can connect to other rope play, obstacle courses, forts or other play items.
Handcrafted in our O’Connor WA workshop using locally sourced West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), the traverse log is suspended by weather-resistant combination ropes and secured with durable metal fittings. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and pole colours can be customised to suit your project.
VRI installs the Dangling Log Traverse across Perth and WA, or supplies it Australia-wide as a supply-only option with installation drawings for your contractor. Talk to us about the Dangling Log Traverse for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dangling Log Traverse need softfall surfacing?
Yes. The Dangling Log Traverse has a free height of fall of 1500mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.
What age group is the Dangling Log Traverse for?
The Dangling Log Traverse suits children aged 6 years and over, the oldest entry age in the traverse range. A suspended angled Jarrah log moves multi-directionally underfoot, which makes it one of the harder crossings VRI builds anywhere in the range.
What is the Dangling Log Traverse built from?
The Dangling Log Traverse hangs a suspended angled Jarrah balance log on weather-resistant combination ropes from Jarrah bush pole supports, with durable metal fittings throughout. That combination is what gives the log its bucking motion rather than a simple swing.
