Description
Auriga is a near-square rope structure: sixteen masts carrying thirteen suspended net modules over an 18.3 x 18.0 m plot, with a slide and a wide slide finished in themed HPL panels. At 4.8 m high it sits lower than most structures of comparable area, which makes it a practical answer where a park has the ground but not the appetite for a tall silhouette.
A square plan for a square plot
Long linear structures need a corridor. Circular ones waste the corners. Auriga is almost exactly square, so it uses a conventional rectangular park plot efficiently and its safety area — 22.2 x 22.0 m — is easy to set out against existing boundaries and paths. For designers working to a fixed plot rather than an open field, that regularity saves a lot of iteration.
- Sixteen steel load-bearing masts
- Thirteen net modules suspended between the masts
- Slide and wide slide with HPL decorative panels
Low height, full play value
The 4.8 m overall height and the 2.85 m free height of fall put Auriga below the tallest models in the range while keeping thirteen distinct net modules in play. Where a residents’ consultation has pushed back on height, this is usually the structure that resolves it without cutting the number of children the equipment can hold.
Materials
Hot-dip galvanised steel masts, nets in polyamide rope reinforced with a zinc-coated steel core, HPL decorative panels on the slides. Foundations at 1.0 m depth.
Surfacing
The landing area must be laid with an impact-attenuating surface suited to the 2.85 m free height of fall and certified to EN 1177. The equipment itself conforms to EN 1176-1:2017; the surfacing below it is a separate specification governed by EN 1177.

Frequently asked questions
How much clear ground does Auriga need in total?
Around 490 m² for the safety area alone, before paths, seating and maintenance access. Boundaries, trees and lighting columns must fall outside that square.
Why sixteen masts for thirteen modules?
Modules are suspended between masts, so the perimeter needs more anchor points than there are nets. The extra masts are what allow the nets to sit at different angles rather than all in one plane.
Can the two slides be placed on the same side?
They can, but grouping the exits concentrates the queue and the wear on one part of the surface. We normally recommend separating them, and we will show the options on the siting drawing.
Send us the plot dimensions, any height constraint from consultation or planning, and your surfacing intentions, and we will return a costed proposal with a scaled siting drawing for Auriga within 24 business hours.
