Indus Rope Play Structure with Wide and Straight Slide

In brief — Indus Rope Play Structure with Wide and Straight Slide: dimensions 2010 × 1050 × 480 cm, material steel, free fall height 2,85 m, age range 5 to 14 years, safety area 24,4 x 15,5 m, standards EN 1176-1:2017, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

Indus is a large-format rope play structure built on eleven steel posts carrying eight suspended modules, completed by a wide slide and a straight slide dressed with HPL panels from the Monster graphic range. The wide slide is the distinguishing feature: two or three children descend side by side, which turns sliding into a shared activity rather than a queue.

What the wide slide changes

• Side-by-side descent lets carers accompany a hesitant child, and lets groups arrive at the bottom together.
• Throughput on the slide is roughly doubled compared with a single-lane chute of the same length, easing congestion at the top deck.
• A second, straight slide gives an alternative route down for children who prefer a narrower channel.
• Monster-range HPL panels frame both slide entries and act as a wayfinding cue across a 20 m structure.

Layout and circulation

At 20.1 m long and 10.5 m wide, Indus is laid out as a linear circuit rather than a single tower. Children travel along the rope modules, gain height towards the slide end and return along the ground — a pattern that suits school playgrounds and linear park strips where a square footprint would not fit. The tallest point is 4.8 m, but the free height of fall stays at 2.85 m across the unit.

Construction and materials

The structure is hot-dip galvanised steel. Nets are braided polyamide rope; the decorative panels are high-pressure laminate from the Monster range. Foundations are reinforced concrete at 1.0 m depth. Installation requires access for heavy plant.

Compliance and surfacing

Indus is certified to EN 1176-1:2017 by an independent certification body — that standard covers the general safety requirements of the equipment. The impact-attenuating surface beneath it is a separate specification governed by EN 1177, which sets out how surfacing is tested and how the critical fall height is determined. Size the surfacing against the 2.85 m free height of fall and the full 24.4 x 15.5 m safety area.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wide slide suitable for adults accompanying a child?

The equipment is designed and certified for children aged 5 to 14. A supervising adult may accompany a child on the wide slide, but the structure as a whole is not adult play equipment and should be signed accordingly.

Can Indus be installed without the slides?

The eight rope modules and the two slides form a certified assembly. Removing a component changes the configuration and the certification file, so any variation is quoted and re-documented as a new layout.

How much clearance is needed beyond the structure?

A minimum safety area of 24.4 x 15.5 m, free of fixed obstacles. The siting drawing supplied with the quotation shows the exact envelope in relation to your boundaries.
