SCYLLA XL Suspended Rope Tunnel

In brief — SCYLLA XL Suspended Rope Tunnel: dimensions 460 × 120 × 300 cm, free fall height 2,85 m, age range 5 to 14 years, safety area 5,3 × 9,6 m, standards EN 1176-1:2017, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

SCYLLA XL stretches the suspended rope tunnel across a 4.24 m post spacing, keeping the 0.8 m to 1.2 m diameter and the two hot-dip galvanised shaping rings. The longer passage turns a quick crawl into a proper journey.

Length changes the experience

At 3.0 m a tunnel is a feature. At 4.24 m it becomes a place: children stop inside it, meet in the middle, block it and negotiate their way past each other. That social use is the reason to specify the longer version where the site has the room, and it is also why the tunnel absorbs more children per minute than its narrow footprint suggests.

• Rope tunnel, 0.8 m to 1.2 m in diameter
• Two hot-dip galvanised steel shaping rings
• Fixing clamps protected with chlorinated rubber paint
• Aluminium, stainless steel and plastic connectors

Technical specification

Supervision over a longer passage

The open rope construction keeps occupants visible from outside along the whole length, which is the practical difference between a rope tunnel and a closed plastic tube in a supervised setting such as a school or a holiday park.

Maintenance

Wear concentrates where knees and elbows bear on the rope, along the base of the tunnel. Sheath condition there, ring fixings and overall tension are recorded under the routine, operational and annual regime required by EN 1176.

Weathering and service life

Rope tunnels take more direct contact than any other module in the collection, because users bear on the rope with their whole body weight. The galvanised steel core inside the polyamide rope is what makes that acceptable over many seasons: the sheath wears, the core does not, and replacement is driven by inspection findings rather than a fixed date.

Frequently asked questions

How many children fit inside at once?

Several over 4.24 m, which is part of its appeal. Supervisors in school settings usually limit numbers so that the passage does not block.

Does the tunnel sag in the middle?

The rings and the rope tension hold the section. Tension is set at installation and verified at the periodic inspection.

Can it be installed as a stand-alone module?

Yes. It works alone as well as in a trail, and its 5.3 x 9.6 m safety area is the same width as the other two-post modules.
