Frequently Asked Questions

Although most people will have seen Trim Trails in parks and playgrounds, not everyone is familiar with their name. Essentially, a Trim Trail is an obstacle course made up of a series of challenges that children have to overcome in order to complete the course. Each Trim Trail course is unique because you are able to pick and choose from a wide variety of obstacles and arrange them in an order and layout of your choosing.

Typically made from wooden beams with metal poles, tyres and ropes, obstacles can include balance beams, steppers (wooden stepping-stones), dipping bars, jungle bars, wobbly log passes, rope traverses, tyre trainers and various other pieces of exciting equipment.

Yes, with such a wide variety of obstacles to choose from, it is possible to create Trim Trails for children of all ages. However, some obstacles are specifically designed to be more challenging and these are not recommended for children under 5. Our low challenge pieces, on the other hand, are ideal for little ones. Individual product pages have a guide which tells you how suitable each item is for the different age ranges.

This depends on how many components you purchase when creating your Trim Trails course. Obviously, the more components you install, the more the cost will be. It also depends upon the particular components you choose, as they are all priced differently.

If you have a small budget, one of the good things about a Trim Trails course is that you can add to it over time, perhaps adding a new piece each academic year or after a fund-raising event.

The challenging nature of a Trim Trails course is a natural motivator, inspiring young people to get on and play. Once on, they are instantly taking part in high-quality physical activity that builds strength, develops physical skills, like coordination, and improves overall fitness – this is why they are sometimes referred to as fitness Trim Trails. This is a great way to get kids doing some of the 60 minutes of physical activity they are recommended to do every day.

Beyond the physical benefits, playing on Trim Trails equipment helps children to challenge themselves, deal with risk and develop resilience – all essential skills for life in and out of the classroom.
