Coir logs for the design of children’s playgrounds

What are coir logs?

Photo

With the aid of coir logs, steeply eroded banks are turned into ecologically high-grade and visually appealing waterside habitats.
However, coir logs can be used for other purposes, too: Coir logs are ideal for separating areas in children’s playgrounds or school playgrounds that are used for different purposes. They are a sensible alternative to solid building material such as concrete blocks or timber palisades. Danger spots can be made safer with the aid of coir logs and injuries can be avoided.
