A sculpted Australian hardwood pole carved from a single timber trunk and fitted with integrated climbing holds. The timber is left predominantly raw, with visible grain, knots, cracks, and tool marks retained as part of the form. Brightly coloured climbing holds are fixed directly into the solid timber, creating contrast against the natural surface while remaining robust and tactile.
The simplicity of the cylindrical form allows the timber itself to remain central. The holds introduce an element of challenge and play without overwhelming the material, encouraging climbing, grip, balance, and exploration in a direct and legible way.
The lower 600 mm is sealed for ground contact. Bitumen is used as standard, it is the most durable and practical option for concreting, offering long term resistance to soil moisture. Alternative finishes can be discussed on request.
Designed to function as a standalone climbing element or as part of a larger play, landscape, or public art installation. Suitable for nature play environments, playgrounds, schools, and civic spaces.
Safety note
If installed within a playground or play environment, fall zones and surfacing must be assessed by a qualified landscape architect or play consultant to ensure compliance with relevant Australian Standards.
Specifications
• Lengths: 2.4 m or 3.0 m
• Diameters: 100–200 mm or 200–300 mm
• Ground section: 600 mm sealed, free option
Custom sizes, alternative climbing hold layouts, and bespoke designs available on enquiry.
Each pole is a unique artwork. Natural variation in timber grain, hand working, and finishing means the final piece will differ from the images shown, which are indicative rather than exact.
