Rope climbing nets for playgrounds
Rope climbing nets for playgrounds: our professional selection
Climbing nets stretch their webs across every geometry a playground can use, from a low frame for toddlers to a large web that holds a whole group. Eight models are listed: the Febe arch, the low Pazyfea structure for younger children, the Hermippe dome, and the large Japet and Umbriel webs. Armoured rope over a steel core keeps the web under tension and gives the service life needed for free public access.

Geometry drives the play value
An arch is crossed; a dome is climbed and occupied; a large web is shared by several children moving in different directions. Choosing between them is a question of what you want the equipment to do on the site, not only of budget. Low models sit close to the ground and suit nursery yards or the toddler section of a park. Larger webs need height, and with it the corresponding safety zone and surfacing.
Standards and surfacing
The eight models answer EN 1176. The height of each web fixes the free height of fall and therefore the impact attenuating surface required under EN 1177; both are shown on the layout plan issued with the quotation. Rope tension, connectors and anchorages are the inspection points once the structure is in service.
| Model | Geometry | Site note |
|---|---|---|
| Febe | Arch | Crossing route, linear footprint |
| Pazyfea | Low structure | Younger children, reduced surfacing requirement |
| Hermippe | Dome | Climbed and occupied, circular safety zone |
| Japet and Umbriel | Large webs | Group capacity, largest surfaced area |
Frequently asked questions
What rope is used?
Armoured rope built around a steel core, chosen for tension retention and durability in unsupervised outdoor use.
Which model suits a nursery?
Low structures are the usual answer, since they reduce both the free height of fall and the surfacing area needed.
How do climbing nets compare with rope pyramids?
Pyramids are built around a central mast and read as a landmark; nets spread horizontally and favour group use across the web.
