Outdoor Wooden Ramp Stand

The Wooden Sand & Water Ramp offers a hands-on way for children to explore the fascinating principles of gravity, fluid dynamics, and motion. Ideal for outdoor play, this ramp allows children to experiment with the movement of sand and water, providing valuable insights into how materials flow and interact. By adjusting the slope, children can observe how different amounts of water or sand travel down the ramp, sparking curiosity and critical thinking.

Crafted from weather-resistant wood, the ramp is designed to withstand outdoor elements, ensuring it remains a durable and engaging feature in any outdoor learning space. This tool is perfect for fostering problem-solving, observational, and scientific skills in young learners. Whether used in a sandbox, water table, or garden, the Wooden Sand & Water Ramp makes learning about physics fun and interactive.

Classroom Ideas:

• Fluid Dynamics Experiments: Let children experiment with different materials (sand, water, or small objects) and adjust the ramp to see how they affect flow speed and direction.
• Group Exploration: Have children work together to create different ramp designs or challenges, fostering teamwork and collaborative learning.
• Nature Observations: Ask children to compare the movement of water on the ramp to how water flows in nature, such as rivers or streams, enhancing their environmental awareness.
• STEM Challenges: Set tasks to create the fastest or most stable flow, helping children apply engineering and scientific concepts.

Key Considerations:

• Suitable for children aged 3 and up
• Made from durable, weather-resistant wood
• Encourages exploration of physics and fluid dynamics
• Perfect for outdoor play areas, sandboxes, or water tables

Timber Maintenance Guide

1. We recommend to clean your outdoor furniture several times a year. We suggest to use an outdoor wood furniture cleaner and follow their instructions. Also remove any cobwebs, leaves or dirt before cleaning and dry thoroughly in the sun after cleaning. We do not recommend a high pressure washer.
2. We recommend to sand and oil your furniture as required throughout the year. The weather will deteriorate timber so the location of the furniture and the weather such as rain and humidity will wear timber at different rates. Using a natural furniture oil will help to maintain the beautiful colour of the timber and hold the necessary moisture in the wood. Please follow the manufacturers directions for oiling. Usually only a light sand needed.
3. If your outdoor furniture gets wet, we suggest that you dry it out in the sun. Therefore helping to prevent mould and wood rot.
4. For best longevity of your outdoor furniture we also suggest that you keep it undercover or cover it when not in use. If the furniture can be kept under a roof out of direct weather and sun, it will help to make the most out of your furniture.
5. The metal hardware can become loose over time, so we recommend that you check the screws, hinges and bolts throughout the year. Hence helping to keep the furniture strong and in the best working condition.
   Outdoor furniture made from hardwood Eucalyptus and is suitable for outdoor use. However as with all timber, the weather will wear the wood. When left outdoors eucalyptus furniture will naturally weather to a silver grey colour.

You will begin to notice the greying after a few months,depending on the amount of sun and rain your furniture exposed to. You may even notice a few small cracks which is not a structural defect, but a perfectly natural process, as the wood expands and contracts, adjusting to the elements.

Following the above guide on a regular basis will help to maintain the beauty, integrity and strength of the timber and allows you to get the most enjoyment from the furniture.
