The Sterling Chess 60cm Giant Plastic Chess Pieces are the most accessible scale in the Sterling Chess premium giant chess range. Each piece is rotationally moulded as a single, fully-formed piece of high-grade polyethylene resin — the same construction process, same UV-4 protection, and same stain-resistant material as the larger 90cm and 120cm sets, in a more compact and approachable size. The King stands 65cm tall (matching the 60cm naming convention used across the giant chess industry), the Pawn 30cm, and the full 32-piece set arrives ready to use straight out of the box.
This is a giant chess set built for backyards, school courtyards, smaller community spaces, and any setting where a substantial chess installation matters but the scale of the larger sets is more than the space requires. The polyethylene construction is engineered for permanent outdoor use across Australian climates, with UV-4 protection against fading and a stain-resistant additive built into the material itself.
For schools, smaller resorts, holiday parks, residential gardens, and community spaces, this is the practical choice in premium giant chess.
The defining characteristic of the Sterling Chess 60cm Giant Plastic Chess Pieces is the construction process. Rotational moulding produces each piece as a single, fully-formed unit of polyethylene resin, with all the detail of the Staunton design captured in the mould itself and no need for assembly, joining, or weight additions. The pieces are hollow internally but engineered to be stable in any weather without the need for plywood weight covers or sand fills that lesser plastic giant chess sets require.
Polyethylene is the same material used in industrial water tanks, marine fenders, and outdoor playground equipment — it is engineered for long-term outdoor exposure, impact resistance, and weather stability. The pieces are practical from day one: there is nothing to set up, no weights to manage, no maintenance routines beyond occasional cleaning.
The 60cm set delivers genuine giant chess presence in spaces where the 90cm and 120cm sets would be too large. At 65cm tall, the King is still substantial enough to dominate a chess board visually, but the overall playing area required is significantly smaller. The recommended board uses 30cm squares for a total playing surface of just 2.4m x 2.4m — small enough to fit a suburban backyard or school courtyard, large enough to feel like a serious chess installation.
This makes the 60cm set the natural choice for environments where space is constrained but the impact of a giant chess set is still wanted. Schools and primary education settings where younger students will play, smaller holiday parks and campgrounds where space is at a premium, family backyards, community gardens, and corporate breakout spaces are all natural settings for this scale.
The rotational moulding process captures the Staunton design in detail across the full surface of each piece — the layered finial of the King, the crown points of the Queen, the mitre of the Bishop, the sculpted Knight head, the crenellated Rook, and the ringed base of the Pawn are all clearly rendered. From a distance, the pieces have the unmistakable silhouettes of a serious chess set. Up close, the detail rewards inspection.
For correctly proportioned play, the recommended board uses 30cm square garden pavers or tiles arranged in the standard 8 x 8 chess board layout — producing a total playing area of 2.4m x 2.4m. The 25cm King base allows comfortable movement on 30cm squares. A garden paver chess board is a permanent, weather-proof installation that complements the chess set perfectly. For temporary installations, a printed chess mat with 30cm squares is the simpler alternative.
Sterling Chess offers four top-tier giant chess sets across a range of scales:
The 180cm Lifesize Fibreglass Set is the ultimate showpiece — fibreglass resin construction with a 180cm King, hand-crafted in Southern California, made-to-order with a four-month lead time. For hotels, resorts, and estates that need an extraordinary architectural-scale visual statement.
The 120cm Giant Plastic Set is the largest of the durable plastic range — rotationally moulded polyethylene with a 120cm King. For larger commercial installations and substantial residential gardens.
The 90cm Giant Plastic Set is the mid-size durable option — same construction quality in a more compact scale that suits a wider range of installations.
The 60cm Giant Plastic Set is the accessible workhorse — the same construction quality and UV protection as the larger plastic sets, in the most compact and affordable scale.
The Sterling Chess 60cm Giant Plastic Chess Pieces are the right choice for buyers who want premium giant chess construction quality but at a scale that suits real-world residential and smaller commercial spaces. The 65cm King is substantial enough to deliver genuine visual impact while the overall footprint stays manageable. The rotational moulding construction, UV-4 protection, and stain-resistant material are the same as the larger 90cm and 120cm sets, so durability and longevity are uncompromised. For schools, holiday parks, smaller resorts, family backyards, and community spaces wanting a premium giant chess installation, this is the most practical entry point into the Sterling Chess giant chess range.
— Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess
The pieces are made from polyethylene resin (LLDPE plastic) produced via rotational moulding. The material is UV-4 protected against fading and includes a stain-resistant additive throughout the material itself.
The King is 65cm tall. The set is marketed at 60cm in keeping with industry naming conventions, but the actual King height is 65cm to deliver proper proportional play on the recommended 30cm square board.
Yes. The polyethylene construction with UV-4 protection is engineered for permanent outdoor installation across Australian climates. The pieces are waterproof, weather-resistant, and built for daily use.
No. Each piece is rotationally moulded as a single, fully-formed unit. The construction is stable in all weather without additional weighting, sand fills, or assembly. The pieces are ready to use straight out of the box.
A 2.4m x 2.4m playing area is recommended, using 30cm square garden pavers, tiles, or printed chess mat squares in the standard 8 x 8 chess board layout. The 25cm King base allows comfortable movement on 30cm squares.
Yes. The 60cm set is specifically designed for both commercial and residential outdoor installation. It is widely used in campgrounds, holiday parks, schools, community spaces, and smaller resorts. Commercial use is excluded from the manufacturer warranty terms, but the construction itself is engineered for daily commercial use.
All three sets share the same rotationally moulded polyethylene construction, UV-4 protection, stain-resistant material, and no-assembly design. The difference is scale. The 60cm set is the most compact and affordable, suitable for tighter spaces. The 90cm set is the mid-size option for medium installations. The 120cm set is the largest plastic option for substantial commercial and residential installations.
The set ships via ground freight with a gross weight of approximately 53kg. Freight cost is calculated separately based on delivery location.
Yes. Each set is made to order from the manufacturer. Contact the Sterling Chess team for the current lead time and to discuss delivery scheduling.
