Description
Overview
The Primary Adjustable Practice Beam is a 3.5 m practice balance beam covered in canvas and designed for use at primary and club level. It is a training beam for building balance, footwork and confidence, not a competition apparatus. The height is adjustable, so one beam can be set low for first-timers and raised as skills develop across a term or a season.
It sits in our gymnastics beams range alongside the Club Adjustable Practice Beam, which shares the same canvas-covered practice construction. Choose the Primary version where most of your users are primary school students or club beginners, and talk to our team if you are unsure which of the two suits your programme.
Key benefits
- One beam covers mixed abilities thanks to the adjustable height.
- Canvas cover gives a consistent, repeatable working surface for practice sessions.
- 3.5 m length gives room for walks, turns and short linked sequences.
- Positioned by the supplier for primary school and club level use.
- Made to order through a local supplier, so it is built for your order rather than pulled from a shelf.
Who it's for
Primary schools building a gymnastics unit into PE, and clubs running beginner or recreational classes, are the intended buyers. The adjustable height means a Year 1 class and a Year 6 class can use the same beam on the same day, with the setting changed between groups.
It is not a competition beam and should not be bought as one. If your gymnasts are older or further along in a club programme, look at the Club Adjustable Practice Beam instead, and ask our team which of the two better matches the level you coach.
Care, safety and set-up
This beam is made to order, which means it is manufactured after you place your order rather than shipped from stock. Because it is a large item, freight is quoted separately rather than charged at standard rates. Add it to a quote and request a quote and we will confirm freight to your address.
Specifications are subject to change without prior notice, so the beam supplied may differ slightly from the photo. Set it up on a level floor with landing mats around it and keep sessions supervised. Schools and clubs can also ask about funding packages to help with the purchase.
