Climbing

Climbing equipment, part of our playground range, develops children's fitness, coordination and self-confidence. We offer climbing walls, rope nets and spatial structures of varying difficulty, matched to the age and abilities of users.

Safe, certified construction and suitable impact-absorbing surfacing beneath the equipment are the foundation of every project involving climbing elements.

The rope and steel components of climbing structures are subject to regular technical inspections. Checking rope tension and the condition of grips and fixing points keeps the equipment compliant with PN-EN 1176 throughout its service life.

Playground climbing equipment is designed with a level of difficulty suited to a specific age group. Structures for the youngest children are lower, with gentler grip spacing, while equipment for older children offers more demanding routes that engage more muscle groups and require better coordination.

Impact-absorbing surfacing beneath and around climbing equipment is as important as the structure itself. Its thickness and shock-absorbing properties are selected according to the maximum free-fall height of the equipment, in accordance with PN-EN 1176, which governs playground equipment safety.

The load-bearing material, either powder-coated galvanised steel or glued laminated timber, is chosen to suit the desired aesthetics and character of the playground. Steel structures dominate on modern, colourful playgrounds, while timber blends better into playgrounds with a natural, woodland feel.

The safety zone around climbing equipment, free from other play items and obstacles, must provide enough clearance for children to move freely without risk of colliding with adjacent equipment. Its size depends on the height and nature of the particular climbing structure.

Regular technical inspections are especially important for climbing elements, where a single failed grip or a frayed rope can pose a direct risk to a child's safety. Playground operators should therefore keep inspection records in line with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

Matching the height of individual climbing elements to a specific age group is often achieved by zoning the whole unit. Lower, easier sections are intended for younger children, while higher and more demanding parts of the same structure challenge older, more capable playground users.
