If your Natural Playground is along roadways and parking lots, we understand that some kind of sturdy, metal fencing is usually required (most usually, it's chain link), but for heaven's sake, don't put that same, ugly, cage-like fencing inside your Natural Playground!

There are way too many other, more beautiful, more natural options. Children merely need a barrier, not a cage, so our fence is the perfect answer.

Shown here is our vertical slat fence. It meets all the ASTM/CPSC requirements but looks a whole lot nicer because it's short and not intrusive. Fence can accommodate small gate.

Yes you can get slat fencing from box stores for less, but unfortunately, the wood used is of very inferior quality, and it’s not sanded and nicely finished, so children can easily get slivers. The cheap fences also don’t come with posts!

We plane all our wood, make sure there are no splinters, and sand all 4 sides so that you have no worries. We also treat all our limber with kid-friendly wood preservative so it will last longer!

36” high, round posts are nicely detailed on top so there are no standing surfaces; the top of fence is 30" H, and each section is 72” (6’) L. Sufficient end and middle posts are included if you purchase more than one section.

Posts are 5’ long, but can be longer if you need to get below the frost line. Just let us knlw where you live!

We always recommend that posts be buried in concrete, up to 3-4’ deep anywhere in the country where the ground freezes. In other climates, 24” into the ground with concrete is fine!
