The Balance Log Traverse is an elevated Jarrah balance log pathway for commercial playgrounds, schools or parks, where children cross angled logs at varying heights using loose-slung rope handrails for support. Each traverse mimics natural-terrain challenges, building coordination and confidence as children choose their footing.
The rope handrails stay loose rather than taut, so the elevated log walk reads more like crossing a fallen tree than a fixed obstacle – a natural-terrain choice for schools building a balance trail. It can stand alone or 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 Balance Log Traverse pairs angle-cut Jarrah logs with weather-resistant rope handrails. The traverse is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and colour banding can be customised to suit your project.
VRI installs the Balance 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 Balance Log Traverse for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Balance Log Traverse need softfall surfacing?
Yes. The Balance Log Traverse has a free height of fall of 1100mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.
What age group is the Balance Log Traverse for?
The Balance Log Traverse suits children aged 4 years and over. An elevated angled Jarrah log pathway with loose-slung rope handrails simulates natural terrain, so children read an uneven surface rather than a level beam under their feet the whole way across.
Can the Balance Log Traverse be customised?
Yes. Colour banding can be customised to suit your project's palette. The Balance Log Traverse can stand alone or can connect to other rope play, obstacle courses, forts or other play items, so it works as a single crossing or one leg of a longer balance trail.
