Tubular play structures with rope climbing elements

Tubular play structures with rope climbing elements: our professional selection

Tubular play structures combine a steel tube frame with rope climbing elements, which allows shapes that rope alone cannot hold. Eighteen models are listed, including the Evolo dome on three supports, the Tiaki arch with its 40 climbing ropes, the Lupi circle with a vertical face, and the Roodix and Miniroodix net arches. The rigid frame also shortens installation, since the geometry is set by the tube rather than by rope tensioning on site.

Frame plus rope: what it buys you

A rope only structure takes its shape from tension between anchor points. A tubular frame carries the geometry itself, so vertical faces, precise arches and overhangs become possible, and the rope elements are free to do what they do best, which is climbing and grip. In service, the frame is the durable part and the rope elements are the wearing part, which makes long term maintenance predictable: rope sections are replaced, the frame stays.

Standards and site preparation

The eighteen models answer EN 1176, with impact attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 sized from the free height of fall of each model. The layout plan and safety zones are supplied with the quotation, and installation is carried out in France.

Model Form Distinguishing feature
Evolo Dome on three supports Open dome geometry held by the frame
Tiaki Arch 40 climbing ropes across the span
Lupi Circle Vertical climbing face
Roodix and Miniroodix Net arches Two sizes for different age groups

Frequently asked questions

How do tubular structures compare with all rope modules?

They hold shapes a rope structure cannot, and they install faster, but the footprint and surfacing rules under EN 1176 and EN 1177 are the same.

Are rope sections replaceable?

Yes. The frame is designed to outlast the rope elements, which are available as spare parts.

Which model suits younger children?

Miniroodix is the reduced version of the Roodix arch; the layout study confirms the choice for your users.
