Description
CASTALIA is a rope crossing built from nine vertical ropes and five horizontal ropes inclined between 0 and 15 degrees, producing openings of deliberately unequal size. Posts are spaced 3.0 m apart.
Difficulty built into the geometry
The slight inclination of the horizontal ropes means the mesh is coarse at one end and tighter at the other. A child crossing from the open end starts with long reaches and finishes with closely spaced holds, or takes the crossing the other way and gets the reverse. Neither direction is the easy one, and both have a point where the spacing stops matching the stride the child has settled into.
- Nine vertical ropes
- Five horizontal ropes inclined from 0 to 15 degrees
- Openings of varied size across the span
- Aluminium, stainless steel and plastic connectors

Progression within a rope trail
Trails work best when the modules are ordered by difficulty rather than by appearance. CASTALIA sits naturally after a regular lattice such as ISIS and before the arch crossings, because it introduces irregular spacing without adding movement underfoot.
Installation and surfacing
Two posts on 1.0 m reinforced concrete footings, heavy plant access required for the foundations, and an impact attenuating surface to EN 1176-1 across the full 5.3 x 8.3 m safety area against a 2.85 m free height of fall.
Ordering and delivery
Modules are manufactured to order and delivered with the installation instructions, the maintenance schedule and the certificate of conformity. We issue an implantation drawing with the quotation so that the surfaced area, the post positions and any adjacent modules can be checked before anything is committed on site.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the horizontal ropes not level?
The inclination is what creates the varying mesh. It is part of the certified geometry and is set at installation, not adjusted afterwards.
Is the module climbed or crossed?
Both. Children traverse the face and also climb it vertically, and the certification covers the module as a whole.
What does the XL version change?
CASTALIA XL keeps the same five inclined horizontals but uses thirteen vertical ropes across a 4.24 m span.
