Rope handholds
Physical
provides stability in balancing. Makes possible hanging in arms, training upper body muscles.
Social-Emotional
adds a feeling of security.
The Balance Combination has a variety of balance activities. The steps on the one beam encourage jumping and balancing from one to the next. The solid beam on the next pole has an additional rope support, to cater for less confident balancing acrobats. When walking or jumping from pole to pole, children train their proprioception and sense of balance, both skills are fundamental in confidently managing the body in its surroundings such as when navigating street traffic safely. Walking across the Balance Combination with friends also helps children to learn how to take it in turns and negotiate who is going first. These are important social-emotional skills that are basic to the ability to form friendship and relate to peers.

Key Features
All Organic Robinia products by KOMPAN are made of Robinia wood from sustainable European sources. On request it can be supplied as FSC® Certified (FSC® C004450).
Nets and ropes are made of UV-stabilized PA with inner steel cable reinforcement. The rope is induction treated in order to create a strong connection between steel and rope which leads to good wear resistance.
The steps are made of 21.5mm thick plywood made from alder and pine wood. Both sides are covered by 2 layers of phenolic film with anti slip net pattern. All cutting edges are sealed with paint to ensure long lifetime.
The Robinia wood can be supplied as untreated raw wood or painted with a brown colored transparent pigment that maintains the golden wood color of the wood.
