Typical Cost on poles (Low Hexagonal Course):
£20,000 - £23,000 plus optional extras
Typical Cost in Trees: £2-3,000 per element

 

Description

 

A Low continuous challenge course, as the name implies, consists of a series of elements like the Postman's Walk, Multi-Vine and Balance Beams. In our experience younger children derive most benefit from a continuous challenge course because more fun and learning appears to be generated from challenges that require less team working skills and more physical movement. However this does not mean that adults cannot benefit from this facility also. A continuous challenge course is best built in trees. If trees are not suitable or available then a continuous challenge course can be built on poles and the most suitable structure for this purpose, in our opinion, is the RCD Low Hexagonal Ropes Course.

 

General Specifications Low Hexagonal course

 

  • Poles protrude 5 metres above the ground. Foot heights of elements are approx 30cm from the ground
  • Operational ground area required is approximately 14 metres x 16 metres. It is a free standing structure
  • Designed to minimise the need for maintenance in every respect
  • Has a lifetime guarantee on workmanship
  • Designed to be used of groups of 12 people simultaneously
  • Safety signs included
  • Option for complete ground covering (pea gravel to 150mm minimum with geo-textile membrane and appropriate retainers). This is necessary both from an aesthetic perspective and to ensure operational efficiency.
  • Fully treated timber
