Pictor – twelve-mast rope play set with six large nets

In brief — Pictor – twelve-mast rope play set with six large nets: dimensions 960 × 880 × 380 cm, free fall height 2,85 m, age range 5 to 14 years, safety area 13,9 × 13,9 m, standards EN 1176-1:2017, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

Pictor puts twelve masts around six net modules on a 9.6 x 8.8 m plot. Twice as many masts as modules is a deliberate ratio: it lets each net be large, irregular and anchored on several sides rather than small and rectangular, so the six modules behave like a continuous climbing volume instead of six separate panels.

Fewer, larger nets

Large nets sag and flex more than small ones. That is the point — a child crossing a big module has to manage a moving surface, which is a different and more demanding skill than climbing a taut mesh. On a compact plot, six large modules give more sustained physical engagement than a dozen small ones would.

• Twelve steel load-bearing masts
• Six net modules in varied shapes, suspended between the masts
• Galvanised turnbuckles for rope tension adjustment

Protection at the fixing points

The fixing collars are protected with chlorinated rubber paint. Collars are where water sits and where climbing loads concentrate, so protecting them specifically — over and above the galvanising on the masts — addresses the detail most likely to show corrosion first on a coastal or high-rainfall site.

Materials

Steel columns of 168.3 mm diameter, hot-dip galvanised. Braided and bonded polyamide rope of 18 mm diameter with a zinc-coated steel core. Connection elements in aluminium, stainless steel and engineering plastic. Foundations at 1.0 m depth.

Surfacing

The impact area requires an impact-attenuating surface certified to EN 1177 for a critical fall height of at least 2.85 m across the full 13.9 x 13.9 m safety area. The equipment itself conforms to PN EN 1176-1:2017 and holds a certificate of conformity from an independent certification body; the surfacing is specified separately under EN 1177.

Technical specification

Frequently asked questions

Is Pictor suitable for a coastal site?

Yes. Hot-dip galvanised masts plus separately protected fixing collars is a sound specification for salt-laden air. Include a rinse-down in the maintenance schedule if the site is directly exposed.

Why is the safety area square when the structure is not?

Free space is set by the fall height around the whole climbing envelope, and the nets project unevenly from the mast grid. The declared envelope is the rectangle that contains all of it.

Do large nets wear faster?

They stretch more in the first season, which the turnbuckles absorb. Abrasion still concentrates at the connectors, which is why the fixings and not the rope span are the priority at inspection.
