The Log Jam play system can be installed anywhere and fits any budget. Customize this play structure with different games to create new experiences and challenges to fit the needs of your clients.
Contact us for custom configurations of 2+ Log Jam components.
Install the Log Jam play system anywhere! Designed for use in parks, rooftops, forests or trails, each Log Jam® pod comes from our studio pre-built and mounted on a 4’x8’ treated steel ground frame. Installation is simple and flexible. Rooftop installations are now possible with our interlocking ground frame system and less than 80 lb./sq. ft. load. Sensitive forest floor or play-trail applications are a breeze, requiring only four helical piles per pod.
Fit any budget! You have the flexibility to add more variety over time. Where budgets are tight, parks can purchase a pair of Log Jam pods and a game with the option to add pods and games in subsequent years, or as budget allows.
The Log Jam Play System is fully compliant with American, Canadian and European playground safety standards including CAN/CSA Z614-14, ASTM F1487-11, and EN 1176.
Contact us to discuss the different options available. We have Triple and Quadruple Log Jam configurations along with different game options and discounted pricing when more the two log jams are purchased.
