Double mega warped wall, outdoor ninja obstacle

Description

This outdoor double warped wall carries two curved running faces side by side, one at 3 903 mm and one at 4 403 mm, on a footprint 3 955 mm deep with lanes 3 102 mm wide. Most ninja walls are single, so a park has to choose between an accessible height and a competition height; here the two sit on one structure, which means an athlete progresses from the 3.90 m wall to the 4.40 m wall without changing module, and two riders can run in parallel for head to head formats. Both faces share the same R3500 curve, so the wall is run at speed rather than climbed. It is priced at 35 500 EUR excluding VAT.

Technical specification

Anchoring, landing zone and how the descent works

Fixing is by chemical anchoring into the ground, so the base has to be sound and the exact anchoring method confirmed against your site conditions before delivery. Allow the 3 955 mm depth of the module plus a straight approach run in front of each lane, since the obstacle is run at speed: without a clean run up the wall cannot be completed, whatever the athlete’s strength.

The descent is the point most buyers underestimate. Users do not jump from the crest. They slide down flat on their front, as on a slide, which brings the effective fall height to 1.50 m even though the crest of the large wall is at 4.40 m. That is what makes a competition height wall workable on a public site, but the landing area still needs impact attenuating surfacing sized for a 1.50 m fall, and a minimum user height of 1.50 m applies.

Materials are chosen for permanent exposure: galvanised steel with a coating paint, a plywood backing and an HDPE running face. HDPE gives a smooth, low friction surface that is UV stable and unaffected by moisture, which is why it is the default on an outdoor wall; a stainless steel face is available as an option for the most exposed sites. A 150 mm top edge finishes the crest.

Frequently asked questions

Why pay for a double wall rather than two single ones?

One structure, one foundation, one footprint, and two heights that work together. The 3.90 m face is where intermediate athletes build confidence, the 4.40 m face is at competition level, and the shared R3500 curve means the technique transfers directly from one to the other. Two separate walls would need two anchoring points and two landing zones.

Is 4.40 m really competition height?

In Ninja Warrior style competition the standard warped wall sits around 4.3 m, so the large face is at that level rather than a reduced version. The obstacle itself originated in the Japanese television format Sasuke in the late 1990s and has become the most recognisable image of the discipline.

Who installs a double warped wall?

Ninja parks and OCR gyms use it as the flagship obstacle, municipalities install it on outdoor sports areas and city stadiums, military bases use it for vertical crossing and explosive training, and hotels, clubs and event organisers use the parallel format as an attraction. Two users at a time makes head to head programming straightforward.
