Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

  • Flexible climbers that provide access to platforms are securely anchored at both ends.
  • All anchors connecting flexible climbers to the ground are installed beneath ground level and protective surfacing.
  • Connections between ropes, cables, chains or tires are securely fixed and regularly inspected/maintained.
  • Free standing flexible climbers are not recommended for toddlers or preschool children.
  • Spacing between horizontal and vertical components of a climbing grid do not form entrapment hazards.
