Description
TETYDA XL is the maximum-capacity pyramid. Twelve main cables, rather than the six or eight used on smaller units, run from a 273 mm mast to reinforced concrete foundations, spreading a 16.7 x 16.7 m base and enclosing an interior volume with rope platforms at several heights.
Why twelve cables
- Twelve climbable net faces, so peak-time demand never funnels into a single route
- Shorter unsupported spans between adjacent cables, giving a firmer climbing surface
- Load distributed across twelve ground anchors with galvanised tensioning screws
- A silhouette that reads as a landmark across a large park
Planning the installation
The reserved zone is an 18.6 m diameter circle, around 272 square metres, and foundations are cast at 1.0 m depth. On a project of this scale the surfacing, the groundworks and the equipment should be priced as one package; treating them separately is the most common reason a landmark scheme is value-engineered down to something smaller after tender.
Materials
The central mast is hot-dip galvanised steel, 273 mm diameter. The net is braided, bonded polyamide rope reinforced with a galvanised steel core, 18 mm diameter. Connectors are plastic and aluminium, selected for long-term weather resistance.

Frequently asked questions
How many children can use TETYDA XL at once?
Twelve net faces and multiple internal platforms make this the highest-capacity single structure in the range, which is why it is specified for regional parks, large holiday resorts and destination attractions rather than local playgrounds.
Is the 273 mm mast necessary?
Yes. Twelve cables at the tensions a 9 m structure generates impose a far greater bending moment on the mast than the six-cable units, which is why the section steps up from 219.1 mm to 273 mm.
What happens to the safety circle if we cannot achieve 18.6 m?
The circle cannot be reduced. Where the site will not take it, TRITON at 14.5 m or CALIBAN at 13.8 m give most of the height and play value within a smaller reserved area.
Send us your site survey and we will confirm whether the circle is achievable and price the surfacing alongside the equipment. Browse the rope climbing pyramids range or request a quote.
