Suitable Age Groups
Shuffle Bars – Advanced
Put upper body strength to the test with the ESP Shuffle Bars – Advanced, a set of playground hanging bars from our timber trim trail range. Two steel bars are fixed between four solid timber posts, crossing each other at an angle. Children hang from one bar, shuffle hand over hand along it, then switch to the other at the crossing point to finish their journey.
Hang, Shuffle and Switch
Children grip the bar with both hands, lift their feet and shuffle sideways along it, moving one hand past the other. The real test comes at the crossing point, where they have to let go with one hand and reach for the second bar to change direction, all while holding their own body weight. Reaching the far post without touching the ground is a real achievement.
An Advanced Challenge
The Shuffle Bars are graded Advanced because they rely entirely on grip and upper body strength, with no foot support at all. They're ideal for older or more confident children who have mastered the Jungle Bars and the Intermediate trim trail stations, and want to push themselves further.
Building Strength and Determination
Hanging and shuffling develop grip strength, shoulder and arm strength, core stability and coordination. Planning the switch between bars builds motor planning and body control, and practising until they can cross the whole way builds resilience and determination.
Part of the ESP Timber Trim Trail Range
Combine the Shuffle Bars with the Rope Traverse – Advanced and the Intermediate pieces, including the Balance Beam, Log Weave, Wobbly Bridge, Tyre Pass and Step and Jump Posts. Together they make a challenging circuit with clear progression for every ability.
Built to Last
Solid round timber posts, durable steel bars and secure fixings are designed for busy daily use outdoors. Like all ESP equipment, it's manufactured and installed to BS EN 1176.
