ANTARES Rotating Climbing Net

In brief — ANTARES Rotating Climbing Net: dimensions 180 × 180 × 300 cm, free fall height 2,3 m, age range 3 to 14 years, standards EN 1176, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

ANTARES is specified where a rotating climbing net has to survive a hard environment: seafront promenades, campsites that stand empty and salt-laden all winter, schools with no maintenance budget between inspections. The construction is the argument. The rope is braided and bonded rather than braided alone, the guide rings top and bottom are 0H18N9 austenitic stainless steel, and the rope-to-column fixings are protected with chloroprene rubber paint over cast and stainless components.

Specification detail that decides the service life

• Bonded braid: the outer strands are fixed to each other, so a cut or an abrasion does not unravel along the rope. On a rotating net, where the rope works against its fixings on every turn, this is the difference between a repair and a replacement.
• Galvanised steel strands inside the rope resist cutting and hold the mesh geometry under load.
• Upper and lower guide rings in 0H18N9 stainless steel tube, 42.4 mm diameter — the two points that see the most movement, and therefore the two worth specifying in stainless.
• Central column in hot-dip galvanised steel of 219.1 mm diameter: the frame is galvanised steel, not stainless, and the stainless is placed where it earns its cost.
• Chloroprene rubber paint on the cast fixings, chosen for flexibility and weather resistance rather than appearance.

Play value

Children climb the net while it turns around the column, generating the rotation themselves. There is no seat and no handle, so the item cannot be spun by one child for another — a common source of incidents on traditional roundabouts. It sits naturally alongside static items from our rope climbing nets range.

Technical specification

Frequently asked questions

What is 0H18N9 stainless steel?

It is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless grade, used here for the tubular guide rings because they are in constant contact with the moving rope assembly and are the components least accessible for recoating.

Are spare ropes available separately?

Yes. Rope sections, connectors and rings are supplied as spares, which is the reason to buy a rope item from a range with a documented parts list rather than as a one-off.

How is the item inspected?

Routine visual checks look for cut or abraded rope and loose fixings; the annual main inspection covers the bearing, the rings and the foundation. Rope wear concentrates at the fixings, so that is where the inspector looks first.
