These Australian‑made Bouncing Boards are fun, challenging and engaging play pieces designed to support active play, balance and gross motor development. When suspended between two Aussie Play Trestles (sold separately), the boards create a gentle springing action that encourages children to adjust their movements, building strength, stability and confidence. Crafted from 2.5cm thick solid Merbau timber, these boards are durable, long‑lasting and ideal for both indoor and outdoor educational play environments.

Why the Bouncing Board is helpful:

• Encourages Active Play: The springing motion invites children to move, balance and explore their physical abilities.
• Develops Balance & Core Strength: The light bounce requires constant body adjustment, strengthening core muscles and improving stability.
• Enhances Gross Motor Skills: Children refine coordination, agility and spatial awareness as they walk, balance and respond to the board’s movement.
• Builds Confidence: Mastering the bounce helps children overcome physical challenges and boosts self‑assurance.
• Versatile Play Options: Works beautifully with Aussie Play Trestles (sold separately) to create dynamic, elevated play setups.
• Durable & Natural Timber: Made from solid Merbau planks for long‑lasting performance and a natural, warm aesthetic.

Things to consider when purchasing the Bouncing Board:

• Requires Trestles: Designed to be suspended between two Aussie Play Trestles (sold separately) for proper spring action.
• Surface Stability: Ensure all play pieces are placed on a flat, stable surface for safe use.
• Secure Attachment: Always secure the board to trestles using the provided hook‑and‑loop or plastic clip cleats to prevent movement during play.
• Soft Fall Recommended: Use soft fall material underneath and around the play setup for added safety.
• Outdoor Exposure: As a natural timber product, Merbau may change shape or develop small cracks over time. This is normal and does not affect structural integrity.
• Check Hardware: If any cleat hardware is missing, contact Customer Service immediately.
• Material: 2.5cm thick solid Merbau timber.
  

Timber Maintenance Guide:

• Cleaning: Clean several times a year using outdoor wood furniture cleaner. Remove debris first and dry thoroughly in the sun. Avoid high‑pressure washers.
• Sanding & Oiling: Sand and oil as required throughout the year. Weather conditions affect wear rates. Natural furniture oil helps maintain colour and moisture.
• Drying After Wetness: Allow the board to dry fully in the sun to prevent mould and wood rot.
• Storage: Store undercover or cover when not in use. Keeping timber out of direct weather and sun maximises lifespan.
• Hardware Checks: Inspect hardware regularly to maintain strength and safety.

These bouncing boards are suitable for outdoor use. As with all timber, natural weathering and small cracks may appear; a normal process as the wood expands and contracts. Regular maintenance will help preserve the timber’s beauty, integrity and durability for years of active play.
