This Australian‑made Timber Odd Board offers a fun and challenging twist on traditional balance play. Children can balance on the uneven timber blocks or weave their way through them, creating a dynamic walkboard experience that builds strength, stability and confidence. Made from solid Merbau hardwood, the Odd Board is exceptionally tough and designed to withstand active play in both indoor and outdoor educational settings.

Why the Odd Board is helpful:

• Encourages Balance & Coordination: The uneven block heights require children to adjust their movements, improving balance, coordination and body awareness.
• Enhances Gross Motor Skills: Navigating the blocks strengthens agility, spatial awareness and controlled movement.
• Promotes Problem‑Solving: Children experiment with different ways to step, climb and move through the blocks, building confidence and creative thinking.
• Versatile Play Options: Works beautifully with Aussie Play trestles, frames and cubes (sold separately) to create varied and engaging play setups.
• Durable & Natural Timber: Crafted from Merbau hardwood timber, offering long‑lasting strength and a natural aesthetic suited to any play space.

Things to consider when purchasing the Odd Board:

• Surface Stability: Ensure the Odd Board and all connected pieces sit on a flat, stable surface for safe use.
• Secure Attachment: Always secure to trestles, frames or cubes (sold separately) using the provided cleats and hardware 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 — a normal characteristic of hardwood.
• Material: Solid Merbau hardwood 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. 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 to maximise lifespan.
• Hardware Checks: Inspect hardware regularly to maintain strength and safety.

The Odd Board is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. As with all timber, natural weathering and small cracks may appear; this is not a structural defect but 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.
