Trapeze bars offer the opportunity to do more than simply swing. You can sit on them, hang by your knees, somersault round them, or hang by your arms. They encourage children to practice and develop their gymnastic abilities. The bar is made of wood. The ropes are made of hemp, which is environmentally friendly because it can be grown without the use of artificial pesticides. It is also unaffected by UV light or changes in temperature, and is durable in all weathers.
