Project
Bespoke HDPE & Timber Trim Trail with Wetpour Surfacing
Overview
Gawthorpe Primary School wanted to transform their breaktimes into a high-energy opportunity for physical development. Their vision was a playground that didn’t just provide “something to do”, but offered a series of progressive challenges to build gross motor skills, problem-solving, and social cooperation. We designed a bespoke trim trail that pairs the natural beauty of timber with the extreme durability of HDPE, creating a long-lasting circuit where every student can find their own level of challenge.
“The trim trail has improved our playtimes and the children absolutely love it. Thank you!”
Curtis White, Headteacher, Gawthorpe Primary School
The Gawthorpe project is about the moment a child’s fingers finally reach that last handle on the traverse wall, or the first time they cross the rope bridge without holding a teacher’s hand. We build for those quiet victories of self-belief. Schools trust us because we know that a durable HDPE panel is more than just plastic – it’s the solid support for a child’s growing bravery. We don’t just manufacture trails; we manufacture the courage it takes for a student to say, “I can do this,” one steady step at a time.
