NAMIB Large Rope Play Structure

In brief — NAMIB Large Rope Play Structure: dimensions 1700 × 1450 × 490 cm, material stainless steel, free fall height 2,9 m, age range 3 to 14 years, safety area 19,9 x 17,4 m, standards EN 1176, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

NAMIB is built to spread children out. Its 17.0 by 14.5 m plan carries a multi-level network of nets and ropes linking raised platforms, and the design intent is capacity: a large group can be on the structure at once, in different places, doing different things. On a busy municipal park or a holiday village that is the difference between a structure that absorbs the afternoon rush and one that becomes a bottleneck.

Designed around throughput

• Wide horizontal spread rather than extreme height: 4.9 m tall over a 17.0 m footprint, so routes run sideways as well as upwards.
• Multiple linked platforms, giving several independent circuits through the same structure and reducing head-on congestion on the nets.
• Several entry and exit points, so children of different confidence levels can choose their own way in.
• Reinforced stainless steel structural posts, sized for the sustained live loads a large group applies.

Materials and construction

Structural posts are reinforced stainless steel. Ropes are 18 mm polyamide with a braided galvanised steel core, resistant to cutting and to UV, assembled with aluminium and stainless steel connectors. Decorative elements are impact and weather resistant HPL panel. Foundations are high-strength concrete, 0.7 m deep. Installation requires suitable lifting equipment and site access must be checked before the works are programmed.

Space and surfacing

The minimum impact area is 19.9 by 17.4 m and the free height of fall is 2.9 m. On a structure of this size the surfacing is a major line in the budget: roughly 346 m2 of impact-attenuating surface tested to 2.9 m. Our guidance on surfacing and fall height explains how the critical fall height is verified and what that means for the specification. It forms part of our Diamond Collection play structures.

Frequently asked questions

How many children can use NAMIB at the same time?

Capacity depends on the age mix and on supervision, but a structure of this footprint is specified for large groups and is routinely used by a full school class. We provide the design capacity with the technical file at quotation stage.

What site access is needed for installation?

Suitable lifting equipment must reach the working area, and foundation excavation requires plant access. On enclosed courtyards or sites with restricted gates this needs to be resolved before the order, not during the works.

Can the structure be delivered in phases?

The structure itself is installed as one operation. Where budgets are phased, the usual approach is to install NAMIB first and add smaller items in later years, since the surfacing and access works are done once.

Send us your site plan, access constraints and surfacing intentions, and we will return a full costed proposal covering equipment, foundations, lifting, installation and the EN 1176 documentation within 24 business hours.
