Description
VOLCAN arranges its posts, nets and platforms into a cone: wide at the base, converging towards a high point at 4.0 m. The geometry is not decoration. On a cone, every route leads to the same summit, so children climbing different faces arrive at the same place and the structure produces cooperation and competition at once, which a rectangular frame does not.
Why the cone works
- Converging routes: several faces, one summit. Children choose an easy or a hard line and still meet at the top.
- Progressive angle: the nets steepen towards the peak, so the difficulty rises with the height without any change in the equipment.
- Elongated plan, 10.1 by 6.3 m, so the cone reads as a ridge rather than a point and offers more than one high position.
- A silhouette that gives a play area a story, which is what makes children name a place and come back to it.
Materials and construction
Stainless steel structural posts; 18 mm polyamide rope with a braided galvanised steel core, cut-resistant and UV-stable; aluminium and stainless steel connectors; impact and weather resistant HPL decorative panels; high-strength concrete foundations at 0.6 m depth. On a converging structure the rope tension carries a large part of the load path, so tension is checked at each functional inspection and adjusted annually.
Siting
The minimum impact area is 12.8 by 9.5 m and the free height of fall is 2.6 m. Because the structure is taller at one end, consider the approach: a cone is at its most striking seen from the low side, and least so from directly above on a raised terrace. Comparable converging formats are shown under rope climbing pyramids.

Frequently asked questions
Do children compete to reach the top?
They do, and that is part of the design. The summit is reachable by more than one route of differing difficulty, so a less confident child can still arrive rather than being excluded from the objective.
How does a cone compare with a climbing pyramid?
The play principle is similar: converging nets and a single high point. VOLCAN is elongated rather than symmetrical, which gives it a longer profile and suits sites where the structure is seen from one side.
What maintenance does a tensioned cone need?
Tension checks at each functional inspection and adjustment at the annual main inspection, plus the usual visual checks on ropes and connectors. Slack in a converging net is noticed quickly because the geometry changes visibly.
