Outdoor 22 ft floor mounted multi-height monkey bar rig

The outdoor 22 ft floor mounted multi-height monkey bar rig is a 6.7 m hot dip galvanised steel structure designed for local authorities, sports parks and professional training centres. Its bars are set at several working heights so that the same run can be used for a first attempt or for obstacle course race training. The rig is anchored to a concrete base at four points and is built for permanent outdoor exposure in all weather conditions. It is designed to meet the requirements of EN 16630, the standard covering outdoor fitness equipment installed for public use.

Technical specification

Specifying a monkey bar run for public and training sites

A 6.7 m run is long enough for a full traverse challenge rather than a token three bar section, which is what separates a credible obstacle course installation from a playground add-on. The multi-height layout is what makes the rig inclusive: children and beginners start on the lower bars while experienced athletes work the higher section of the same frame, so a single structure serves a whole site rather than one user group.

Hot dip galvanising with a zinc layer above 85 microns gives markedly better corrosion protection than an epoxy paint system alone. On an exposed outdoor site this translates into a service life measured in decades with no additional surface treatment, which is the argument that usually decides public tenders on whole life cost rather than purchase price.

Typical buyers are municipalities equipping a public sports park, military and fire service training centres building physical preparation circuits, ninja warrior and obstacle course clubs adding an outdoor zone, and school or university campuses. Leasing and hire purchase arrangements are available. Quotations are returned within 24 working hours.

Frequently asked questions

How many bars does the rig carry?

Between 8 and 12 suspension bars over the 6.7 m run, depending on the configuration retained and on the spacing chosen for the intended user group. The final bar count and the grip layout are confirmed on the quotation drawing.

What ground preparation and safety surfacing are needed?

The rig is floor mounted on a concrete base with four anchor points. Where the installation is freely accessible, an impact absorbing surface to EN 1177 is required under and around the run, with the thickness set by the free fall height of the highest bar. Bonded rubber gym flooring tiles or artificial turf over a shock pad are both used for this.

What are the exact footprint and clearances?

The overall footprint, the safety zone and the anchor bolt setting out are supplied with the free site layout study, since they depend on the bar heights and the orientation retained for your ground.
