    Why Collapsible Stilts?

    Frog Legs has happily been making many 5- and 6-foot stilts for a number of years. But the (U)nnamed (P)rominent (S)hipping company's shipping charges for 6-foot boxes are outlandishly high. So we got to thinking: If we could build a pair of stilts that could be broken down into two parts for each upright, we could make them a bit taller and still be able to ship the stilts in smaller boxes and get a shipping rate that is closer to being reasonable. Frog Leg Collapsible Stilts were born!

    With Frog Legs Collapsible stilts, the steps are adjustable to three heights: 18, 28, and 36 inches. (If you want different settings, just let us know.) But please be aware that the more height settings we make, the more holes there are in the wood. Each additional hole increases the risk of weakening the wood. Most will likely only want the three, or maybe only two.

    The Joint: To allow for longer stilts, we join two pieces for the uprights. This special Frog Legs design is a FIRST for our hand-held stilts. The steps are restricted to the bottom halves, leaving the entire top pieces to serve as handles. Frog Leg's Collapsible Stilts go together and come apart easily. You will need a wrench to attach the uprights.


    Uprights: The uprights (the long "poles" or "handles") of our handmade Traditional Stilts are in two parts - four-feet lower halves, and three- to four-feet upper halves. These stilts, when assembled will measure seven feet tall, and maybe a bit higher! Quite possibly the tallest hand-held stilts on the Internet! The uprights are made of alder or ash. Occasionally we may offer fir, cedar, or other woods (depending on availability, and strength). The handles are tooled to fit hands comfortably, and are carefully sanded to remove sharp edges.


    Steps: The removable steps (the part of the stilts one stands on) are made of three pieces of wood that are both glued and fastened securely together.


    Training Feet: We do not recommend adding Training Feet to these stilts. If you are a beginner, and think you may want Training Feet, please consider our Traditional Stilts:
