CHARA marine-themed rope play structure

In brief — CHARA marine-themed rope play structure: dimensions 700 × 660 × 340 cm, material stainless steel, free fall height 1,0 m, age range 0 to 14 years, safety area 9,7 x 9,2 m, standards EN 1176, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

CHARA is the mid-sized member of the marine-themed rope family: 7.0 x 6.6 m on plan, 3.4 m high, and approved for children from 0 to 14 years. It is the unit specifiers reach for when a site needs a proper climbing structure but the visitor profile runs from pushchairs to primary-school leavers.

Designed for mixed-age visitors

• Climbing nets on several faces, so children choose a route that matches their confidence
• A raised play platform that acts as the destination and the meeting point
• A secure access point dimensioned for the youngest users
• A free height of fall limited to 1.0 m across the whole unit

The practical consequence is that a parent with a two-year-old and an eight-year-old does not have to split their attention between two separate pieces of equipment. On camping and holiday-village sites, where families arrive as a group, that single-unit approach reduces both the footprint and the supervision burden.

Materials and weathering

Stainless steel posts support 18 mm polyamide rope with a braided galvanised steel core, cut resistant and UV stabilised, assembled with aluminium and stainless steel connectors. Decorative parts are HPL panels, chosen for impact and weather resistance. Foundations are high-strength concrete at 0.6 m depth. Coastal and near-coastal sites are a common destination for this range, and stainless posts remove the corrosion maintenance that painted steel would demand in salt-laden air.

Technical specification

Frequently asked questions

What area do I need to reserve on the site plan?

9.7 x 9.2 m, which includes the safety zone around the 7.0 x 6.6 m equipment footprint. Keep that rectangle free of benches, planters, kerbs and mature tree trunks.

Is CHARA suitable for a seafront or coastal park?

Yes. The posts are stainless steel and the rope carries a galvanised steel core inside a UV-stabilised polyamide sheath, so the specification is well matched to exposed coastal conditions.

What is the difference between CHARA and the larger ULWA?

They share materials, age range and 1.0 m fall height. ULWA is significantly larger at 8.8 x 8.5 m with additional platforms, so it is the choice for high-footfall sites; CHARA suits a neighbourhood park or a single-school playground.

Give us the plot dimensions and expected footfall and we will confirm which of the two fits your scheme. See the full rope play sets range or request a quote.
