Hermippe Dome Rope Spider - Compact Climbing Dome for Small Playgrounds

In brief — Hermippe Dome Rope Spider: dimensions 220 × 220 × 160 cm, material stainless steel, free fall height 0,6 m, age range 3 to 14 years, safety area 4,8 m × 4,8 m, standards EN 1176-1, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

Where the tall rope pyramids reach for the sky, the Hermippe hugs the ground. Four steel hoops meet at a central node to form a compact dome just 1.6 m high and 2.2 m across – a friendly first climbing structure that fits into play areas where every square metre counts.

Two net levels for progressive climbing

The dome carries two superimposed rope planes, positioned at 0.6 m and 1.1 m. Young children start on the lower level, learn to trust their grip, then graduate to the upper net – a built-in progression that makes the Hermippe a natural fit for nursery schools, toddler zones and small neighbourhood playgrounds. With a free fall height of only 0.6 m, surfacing requirements stay minimal.

Small structure, full-specification materials

Hoops and upper node are S235 carbon steel, hot-dip galvanised. The 16 mm rope is polypropylene (PP split film) reinforced with galvanised steel strands; rope-to-rope connectors are plastic and aluminium, while rope-to-frame connectors are stainless steel. The structure is certified compliant with EN 1176-1 by an independent certification body for collective use on public playgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

Why a dome rather than a pyramid?

The dome form has no summit to race to – climbing happens over and across the shell, which suits younger children and keeps play calm in confined spaces such as school courtyards.

What makes the two-level net design safer for beginners?

The lower plane at 0.6 m acts as both a first challenge and a catch level beneath the upper net, so children always have mesh close below them as they progress.

How quickly can the Hermippe be installed?

With footings only 0.6 m deep and a compact frame, groundworks are light compared with our large structures; a precise installation schedule accompanies every quotation.
