Rope play configuration no. 12 – twin pyramids, 1 m fall height

In brief — Rope play configuration no. 12: dimensions 1170 × 800 × 400 cm, material hot-dip galvanised steel, free fall height 1,0 m, age range 3 to 14 years, standards EN 1176-1:2017, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

Rope play configuration no. 12 puts two rope climbing pyramids and a linking walkway on an 11.7 x 8.0 m plot, with a free height of fall of just 1.0 m. It is the layout to specify when you want the twin-pyramid play pattern of a much larger installation without the fall height that drives surfacing costs upwards.

Low fall height, real climbing

A 1.0 m free height of fall is a significant specification advantage. It sits at the threshold below which impact-attenuating surfacing becomes mandatory under EN 1176-1, which changes what the project has to spend on the ground and opens up sites where a full wet-pour installation was never in the budget. The pyramids still give genuine three-dimensional climbing — the height a child can fall from is limited, not the play.

• Two rope climbing pyramids
• Transition walkway linking the two structures

Suited to a 3 to 14 mix

The declared range starts at 3 years, which is unusual for a pyramid configuration and follows directly from the low fall height. On a village green, a housing scheme or a campsite where a single installation has to serve toddlers and older siblings at once, this is the practical choice.

Materials and groundworks

Hot-dip galvanised steel, standard finish, on foundations at 0.7 m depth — shallower than the metre required by the large configurations, which shortens the excavation programme and reduces spoil disposal.

Surfacing and free space

Even where surfacing is not mandatory at 1.0 m, an area tested to EN 1177 under the access points keeps the ground usable through winter. The equipment itself is certified to PN EN 1176-1:2017 by an independent certification body; surfacing is a separate specification under EN 1177. The safety area for this configuration is issued with the siting drawing (EN 1176-1) rather than as a catalogue figure.

Frequently asked questions

Can we install this on grass?

At a 1.0 m free height of fall that is generally acceptable under EN 1176-1, but grass under a busy access point wears to bare earth within a season. Most clients surface the access zones and leave the rest as grass.

How does a 4.0 m structure have only a 1.0 m fall height?

Free height of fall is measured from the highest position a child can actually stand or climb to, not from the top of the frame. On these pyramids the climbable envelope is contained well below the apex.

Is it big enough for a primary school?

For a small school or an infant playground, yes. For a two-form entry primary at break time, pair it with a second item so the whole cohort is not on one installation.

Send us the plot dimensions, the age profile and what surfacing is already in place, and we will return a costed proposal with a scaled siting drawing within 24 business hours.
