BYSSUS giant marine rope play structure

In brief — BYSSUS giant marine rope play structure: dimensions 1800 × 1270 × 510 cm, material stainless steel, free fall height 3,0 m, age range 3 to 14 years, safety area 21,5 x 16,6 m, standards EN 1176, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

BYSSUS is the largest single structure in the marine-themed rope family: 18.0 m long, 12.7 m wide and 5.1 m high. A dense network of nets and cordage connects multiple platforms through rope bridges, producing the kind of continuous horizontal journey that keeps older children moving for far longer than a single climbing tower does.

What sets BYSSUS apart

• Reinforced stainless steel structural posts across an 18 m span
• A dense multi-level net network rather than isolated climbing faces
• Multiple play platforms linked by bridges, so routes loop instead of dead-ending
• Heavy lifting equipment required for installation

A procurement view

A structure of this size is normally the anchor of a wider tender package. Three figures drive the cost model: the 21.5 x 16.6 m reserved zone, the 3.0 m free height of fall that dictates the surfacing build-up, and the 1.0 m foundation depth that sets the excavation and concrete volume. Getting those three into the cost plan at concept stage avoids the value-engineering exercise that so often strips a scheme back after tender.

Materials

Reinforced stainless steel posts; 18 mm polyamide rope with a braided galvanised steel core, cut resistant and UV stabilised; aluminium and stainless steel connectors; HPL decorative panels; high-strength concrete foundations.

Frequently asked questions

What lifting plant is needed on site?

Assembly of an 18 m structure calls for heavy lifting equipment and a hardstanding or matted route to the working area. We confirm the plant schedule after reviewing site access, because a restricted entrance is the single most common cause of programme slippage on projects of this size.

Does the 3.0 m fall height rule out loose-fill surfacing?

Not necessarily, but the required depth increases with fall height and loose fill needs regular topping up and raking to keep performing. Many operators prefer a bonded surface under a structure of this value to avoid the recurring maintenance.

How does BYSSUS compare with TARGIONA?

TARGIONA is squarer at 15.0 x 13.2 m with a 2.6 m fall height; BYSSUS is longer, taller and reaches 3.0 m, with bridge-linked platforms that suit a linear park or a long riverside plot.
