The TFH Rod Wall Activity Panel ships with 144 rods and 262 peg holes — which means 118 holes are unfilled as standard. This 144-piece rod set addresses both reasons a panel owner would need more rods: replacing individual rods that have been lost, taken home, or damaged over time in a shared institutional setting; or extending from the standard 144 to a denser installation by filling more of the panel's available holes. Available across North America from The Sensory Supply at $995 CAD, it is the only authorised TFH replacement set compatible with the 9RDWL Rod Wall Activity Panel.
The rod composition in this set matches the original: 16 rods each of red, green, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and clear, plus 32 black — 144 in total, 8 colours. Each rod is 2.25" long and fluoresces under UV/black light, which means rods from this set will behave identically to the original rods when the panel is used in a UV sensory room environment. Like the originals, these rods can be chilled in a refrigerator for the tactile temperature-change experiment.
The panel is not included. This set is compatible with the TFH Rod Wall Activity Panel (9RDWL) only.
Key Features of the TFH Rods for Rod Wall Activity Panel
-
144 Rods in 8 Colours, Matching the Original Set - 16 each of red, green, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and clear; 32 black; the same colour composition as the original set supplied with the 9RDWL panel, ensuring a consistent visual appearance across the full panel surface whether rods are originals or replacements
-
UV/Black Light Fluorescence - All coloured rods fluoresce under UV/black light, matching the UV behaviour of the original rods; rods from this set integrate seamlessly into a UV sensory room installation without visual inconsistency between original and replacement rods
-
Two Use Cases - Replacement and Extension - As a replacement set, this replenishes rods lost or damaged through daily institutional use; as an extension set, combined with the 144 original rods it allows buyers to fill a greater proportion of the panel's 262 holes, creating a denser and more visually complete peg pattern
