Tightrope Traverse with Hand Ropes – Trim Trail Element
Low tightrope with angled hand ropes and a 1.0 m fall height, so grass is permitted. Trim trail balance element for ages 4–14, BS EN 1176 certified.
Overview
A low tightrope with a row of angled hand ropes above it, strung between steel posts. Children balance along the rope, reaching from one hand rope to the next, building balance, grip and core strength. With a free-fall height of just 1.0 m, grass or turf is a permitted surface, which keeps installation simple on existing grassed sites. The 3.36 m span links easily with bridges, nets and balance beams in a school or park trim trail. Galvanised, powder-coated steel posts carry steel-core rope with calibrated stainless steel chains. Up to 5 children can cross at once. Certified to BS EN 1176-1 for ages 4–14.
