Volans – rope play set with double slide

In brief — Volans – rope play set with double slide: dimensions 1390 × 1000 × 460 cm, material hot-dip galvanised steel, free fall height 2,85 m, age range 5 to 14 years, safety area 18,3 × 14,0 m, standards EN 1176-1:2017, certification un organisme indépendant, price on quotation.

Volans combines a seven-mast rope set carrying four net modules with a double slide finished in animal-themed HPL panels. At 13.9 x 10.0 m and 4.6 m high it sits between the small mast sets and the large park structures — the size most campsites, holiday villages and mid-size municipal playgrounds actually need.

Climb and slide in one item

Most rope sets in this construction system are pure climbing. Volans adds a descent, and a double one at that, so two children come down side by side. That matters more than it sounds: a shared slide turns a solo climb into a social activity, and it gives younger children in the range an obvious goal at the top.

• Seven steel load-bearing masts
• Four net modules suspended between the masts
• Double slide with animal-themed HPL panels

Theming that survives outdoors

The decorative panels are high-pressure laminate, UV- and weather-resistant. HPL holds its colour outdoors without recoating and is replaced rather than refinished if it is impact-damaged — which is the right approach on a site where theming is the first thing to attract attention and the first thing to attract vandalism.

Materials

Hot-dip galvanised steel structure, nets in braided polyamide rope reinforced with a zinc-coated steel core, HPL decorative panels. Foundations at 1.0 m depth.

Surfacing

The landing area must be laid with an impact-attenuating surface suited to the 2.85 m free height of fall and certified to EN 1177, across the 18.3 x 14.0 m safety area. The equipment itself conforms to EN 1176-1:2017 and is certified by an independent body; the surfacing is governed by EN 1177 and priced separately.

Frequently asked questions

How much ground does Volans need?

About 256 m² for the safety area, plus circulation. The slide exit needs its own run-out clearance within that envelope, so orientation on the plot matters.

Can the animal theme be changed?

The HPL panels are the variable element and can be adapted to a site identity. The structural components and their certification are unaffected.

Is a double slide harder to supervise?

No — it is easier. Two children descending side by side are both in view, whereas a tube slide hides its users. On campsites and holiday parks where supervision is by parents rather than staff, this is a common reason for choosing it.
