Perfect for bridging level platforms, decks or treehouses
“Fixed-beam Rope Bridges have an end-to-end ‘beam’ through the rope balustrades”
Our fixed-beam Rope Bridges are perfect as a Rope Bridge design solution between platforms or decks and from treehouses. The purpose of the integrated fixed-beam is simply to hold the two ends apart, typically it sits at half-height within the rope balustrades but can also sit lower or even closer to the upper 'hand-rail'.
Always sitting level end-to-end, it is possible to increase [or decrease] height overall by installing with a step up and/or down at either end [usually 300mm].
Because the 'stress-and-strain' between two fixed points is taken up by the fixed-beam on this Rope Bridge design and installation solution, we support the timber walkway treads underneath with ropes fixed at each end to a round timber beam.
Although a fully integrated Rope Bridge design and installation, there is a limit to the length determined by the length of the fixed-beams - a 3m span or less works perfectly and there are awesome options to span up to around 6m if required. Overall structural integrity is always going to be dependant upon what is at each end - so our advice and consultation is always for a Rope Bridge to be integral to an overall design rather than being something simply added after everything else is built.
Structurally perfect and beautiful Fixed-Beam Rope Bridges for treehouses, platforms and decks providing an adventure and imaginative play journey within a family garden kids play-set treehouses and playhouses. Adds real adventure and fantasy plus a playful connection to our whole world of play, such as Climbing Walls, Zip Wires and Fireman's Poles. Great fun for gardens and schools, packed with fantasy and imagination.
