NATURAL LOGS USED FOR PLAY

The use of natural materials in playgrounds has many benefits, in particular allowing children to reconnect with nature in our increasingly urbanized, manufactured, and highly structured world. It is also a truly sustainable product.

Play Workshop has built some amazing timber combination play structures lately, as well as a great many logs and branch combinations. Play Workshop build its play structures with a variety of natural hardwoods including Red Ironbark, Grey Ironbark, Yellow Box, Spotted Gum, and White Cypress. The company can also source and use other timbers of a client’s choice and tint the timber using oils to suit the required finish. Play Workshop love the opportunity to mix things up in designing and building with these sustainable products.

With multiple sources and suppliers of logs and branches, the expert team at Play Workshop can find just about anything to suit any project, whether small, straight lengths to massive, forked logs, to something a little bit weird and interesting. For very specific requirements Play Workshop will drive to its supplies and pick the logs to suit. Often taking photos for the client’s approval whilst on site before transporting to the Play Workshop headquarters. Picking logs and forked branches has to be one of the most fun things we do.

Once in the company Silverwater workshop, the team undertakes the sanding, filling, oiling/painting and prepare the hardwood elements for clients.

The Play Workshop studio is a creative space, not a factory. The team test and trial its ideas on site and ask its carpenters and production staff to think creatively, offer feedback and advice. Each product or project is a collaborative process. Play Workshop also welcome clients to meet with them at Silverwater to see what they do, how they do it and to sit and discuss ideas with the team.
