Description
Yakutia Star takes its name from its plan: climbing routes radiate outwards from a single raised central platform like the points of a star. The geometry is not decoration. It means every route ends at the same place, and it means a supervising adult standing anywhere on the perimeter can see the whole structure at once.
Radial routes, one focal point
Children choose a point of the star, climb the netting along it, and converge on the central platform. Because the routes are separated at the outside and joined at the centre, small groups play together without crowding a single ladder, and the structure absorbs a nursery class at 3 years and a Year 6 group at 11 without either getting in the other’s way.
- Stainless steel structural posts
- Climbing nets and ropes arranged in a star pattern
- Raised central play platform
- Varied climbing and traverse zones along each arm
Supervision and sightlines
Rope structures with enclosed cores are difficult to supervise from outside. The open radial layout of Yakutia Star keeps sightlines through the structure, which is one of the reasons it is regularly chosen for school grounds, campsite play areas and hotel gardens where one adult supervises a mixed group.
Materials
Stainless steel posts, 18 mm polyamide rope with a braided galvanised steel core, cut-resistant and UV-stabilised, assembled with aluminium and stainless steel connectors. Decorative elements in HPL panel, resistant to weather and impact. High-strength concrete foundations at 0.6 m depth.
Surfacing
The free height of fall is 2.3 m. The impact area therefore requires an impact-attenuating surface certified to EN 1177 for a critical fall height of at least 2.3 m, across the whole safety area. The equipment itself is certified to EN 1176 by an independent certification body; the surfacing is a separate specification item governed by EN 1177.

Frequently asked questions
Is the star layout suitable for a small school playground?
Yes. At 7.2 x 6.4 m with a 10.6 x 9.7 m safety area, it fits a plot of roughly 105 m² and gives multiple simultaneous routes, which is more useful in a school than a single-route frame of the same size.
Can a 3-year-old use it safely?
The lower sections of each arm are within reach of a 3-year-old under supervision. The central platform at 2.3 m free height of fall is where older children spend their time, and the surfacing specification must cover that height across the whole area.
What upkeep do stainless steel posts need?
Cleaning, not coating. Stainless posts are supplied unpainted and do not need periodic repainting, which is why this structure works well on coastal, pool-side and heavily used urban sites.
